Miles at Five Months

Our baby is a giant! We can't believe how much bigger Miles is at this age compared to Isaac and Delia. Right now he is a super drooler, smiles ALL the time, loves to sing screechy songs, grabs everything (especially Delia's hair- ouch!), hates rice cereal and sleeping for more than two hours at a time, and is SO stinky! Isaac and Delia have taken it upon themselves to try to keep him entertained pretty much all the time with toys, stories, and words of wisdom. Good thing he's got a great big brother and big sister to look after him!

Hangin' Around

I realized today that I haven't posted in awhile... mostly because we haven't done anything exciting. We've been battling illness for weeks- Isaac had pink eye, then Delia, then me, then Isaac and Delia again! Matt and I have both had colds that won't go away. Thankfully Miles has been healthy, maybe because of my constant screaming, "Don't touch the baby!"

So we have just been hanging around the house. The kids got haircuts from Mom and Pop- I gave Delia a terrible haircut that she will hopefully grow out of quickly... It turns out Isaac is awesome at ping pong on the Wii... Miles is working on teeth... and Mojo has been especially vigilant at protecting the backyard lately. Are we fascinating or what?!

Miles at Four Months

At four months Miles is doing all sorts of fun stuff! He's started grabbing and holding toys, is trying really, REALLY hard to roll over, and sucks on his fingers all the time. I think he'll have his first tooth pretty soon. He loves to sing little songs for us and will laugh so cute if you tickle him or dance around. His sunny disposition is just the best. Sometimes people stop by the house just to get a Miles "fix"- it's better than Prozac. According to his four month check-up he's tall for his age and looks older than a four month old. We can't get enough of him!

Christmas10

Backing up a little to post about Christmas 2010...

We had a really nice Christmas this year- a little more low key which is nice since life is usually so crazy here! Here are the kids dressed up for church on Christmas eve. Somehow we avoided Isaac setting Delia's pigtails on fire during the candle lit service...The kids request from Santa this year- Pillow Pets! And Santa came through, hurray! Santa's Little Man outfit from Aunt Meredith for Miles- so cute! Matt and I made a bean bag toss game for the kids. Here they are enjoying it Christmas morning...And our annual Christmas morning on the couch photo. We had fun with the Fishers and a great trip to Monument this year, too (with a camera with dead batteries of course!) Hope you all had a great Christmas this year!

For Frankie

On Monday I had to put my cat, Frankie, down. She was the best little kitten and had a long, good life. I got her my senior year of college with one of my favorite friends, Sarah, and we had lots of great adventures. She let me drag her back and forth across the country and put up with my getting married, getting a DOG, and having three crazy kids! I will miss her so much- she was the best kitten friend and the monkey one, and I loved her a lot.
