happy baby!

We've had lots of giggles around here lately. Miles got over (almost) his cold and doesn't seem to have any teeth coming in right now so we are smooth sailing for a few weeks. He is napping now and has been such a sweet boy this morning. We played, ate, and read lots of Dr. Seuss books. This weather is absolutely perfect so we've been taking some serious stroller rides and hitting up all of the neighborhood parks. Ben took him on a walk and to the park on Monday and this is the picture he sent me from their walk. There is a goat farm across the street where the walkpath goes and Ben likes to make noises at the goats. Looks like they had a playdate. Scary.

After he wakes up from his nap we are going to venture out to Altum's to grab some pumpkins for the porch. I had to laugh last week one morning when I rehashed my previous night in my head. Reminds me of an I Love Lucy episode. It went something like this:

Monday

10 a.m. - went to work, marcia and l.d. came up to help with Miles because ben wasn't feeling well.

11 a.m. - called the doctor about miles cough, they said they'd like to take a listen.

4 p.m. - left work and took miles to the doc. good news- just a cold and no wheezing.

7 p.m. - Put miles to bed but everytime I put him down he started crying. I did this until around 9 p.m.

1 a.m. - Miles woke up screaming so i went and rocked him back to sleep.

2:30 - I wake up and smell something hot. Called my parents for my dad to walk me through some things on the phone. In the meantime, Miles wakes up again so I'm walking around with him seeing if different parts of the house smell. Turned the furnace off and got Miles back to bed and went to bed.

3:30 a.m. - Carbon monoxide alarm went off (because it was out of battery). At first I thought it was the fire alarm and was scheming in my mind how I would reach the alarm on the 9 ft. ceilings. I had decided I would move the dresser to the hallway and climb on top of it. Turned out to be just the carbon monoxide alarm which was in the laundry room within reach. Wanted to throw the stupid thing out the window.

8:30 a.m. - Poor Miles was so sleepy from the rough night I had to wake him up to get the day going.

I survived! This whole time ben wasn't feeling good so he was in bed. In times like these you laugh to keep from crying!

I'll post pics soon but I've got to get my hair washed while Miles is still sleeping :)

Stay tuned for the next episode.
