happy fall y'all!

Can't believe summer is O-V-E-R. We're looking forward to fall. Shorter hours for Ben, boots for me, pumpkin spice lattes, our baby in jeans, and Halloween will be the best one yet. Still don't know what Miles will be but we'll think of something hopefully between now and 7 p.m. on October 31st. He has started to THINK about crawling. Not there yet but he is getting his booty up in the air and reaching for things by wiggling closer to them. Here are a few quirks about Mr. Miles at 7 1/2 months:

1. He touches the light on the wall when carrying him down the stairs from a nap or bedtime. Its like it gives him good luck until he passes it again.

2. As his diaper is getting changed, he likes to lounge and cross his legs. (see photo)

3. He now eats anything, but peas and peaches are still his least favorite.

4. Linda has been taking him to the children's museum. She said he laughed hysterically at a man with a puppet on Thursday. Scary to me, funny to him.

5. He has two bottom teeth. We barely made it through them alive. He was all out of sorts but with a little (okay a lot) of ibuprofen we're back to normal, and have two pearly whites on top of that!

6. Since I've last posted, Ben and I went to NYC. Such a fun trip but we did miss the little guy. He hung out with Sam one day/night and Grandma O the other night. As for Ben and I? We slept in until 8:30!!

7. We went to the toy store the other day to get his pal Henry a gift. He loved it, so many fun things to look at.

That's it for now! This weekend we have Henry's Birthday party and lots of lounging/playing at home!
