Miles meets Uncle Alfred and Aunt Joanne

On our way out of town and to Vegas we spent the night at Uncle Alfred and Aunt Joanne's house. Miles got a chance to be cuddled and spoiled by even more doting family members. Norris' family took not only the three of us in but also my Mom, our dog and our cat. Such wonderful and gracious family is a blessing to us and we appreciate them so much.
Uncle Alfred as you can see from the pictures not only held Miles but fed him, burped him, got spit up on and had to change clothes - so he was properly initiated into the Miles fan club!
We had a wonderful night with them that night, Uncle Alfred made us home made chicken pot pie and we ate, took pictures, talked, laughed, reminisced and made some sweet memories. In the morning at extremely early o'clock, probably 4am or so we all got up and after a great breakfast of sausages and eggs Alfred and Joanne drove us and our large load of luggage and livestock to the airport and we were on our way to Vegas!

One Month old November 29th

It's been a long while since posting and Miles has had many adventures in that time. Here are some belated pictures of him on November 29th at one month old. Note the front and side views like a mug shot courtesy of the photographer Norris. And that's Miles later that night sleeping on Daddy's chest as he always does.

Rollin' on the River

Behold! For the skeptics! A clear video of Miles, now almost 4 weeks old, rolling over on his mat. He first did this last week when he was a mere 3 weeks old. Does anyone think the Guinness World Record people would be interested in this super baby : ), or would they report instead on the World's most delusional and braggadocious parents ; )

Snuffy and Big Bird.

Grandma and Miles - she got him to smile!

Here's Miles holding Grandma's hands while she feeds him a bottle.






Here's Miles posing with the Anniversary breakfast he supposedly made with Grandma's help.

And here's Grandma and Miles caught on film both sleeping with their hands on their heads.






Miles and his Grandma have bonded extremely well. Grandma's new nickname is Big Bird to Miles' Snuffafalagus because she is the only one who ever sees him smile. She swears he is smiling all the time but by the time Norris and I get there to see it, well, no smile.

She takes care of him a lot, and last night was the first night Norris and I spent away from him (our 2 yr anniversary) and we felt perfectly comfortable that he was well taken care of.

Having her here really helps to make it easier on Norris and I with getting other things done as we prepare to move across the country next week. It's been a stressful week this week trying to get details organized and it would have been much more so if we were sleep deprived and eating store bought food rather than the nice home cooked meals we've been eating courtesy of Big Bird.

Pictures of the day

Miles loves his play bym that grandma got for him. He hits the toys and makes the music play. Here he is with his hands doing some sort of politican hand gesture, making some key point to the angels probably : )


He does have his grandma wrapped around his finger, she takes care of him every night since she's been here so Norris and I can get some sleep. I love you Mom!

Here's Miles just looking cute.

Super Baby

This video is dark and poor quality, however I think you can see Miles rolling over from being on his tummy to his back - he is 3 weeks and 1 day old! We'll try to get a better video of it tomorrow in the daytime. Miles is such a wonderful baby and he has brought us so much happiness. To have him be so healthy and strong is more than we could have dreamed of and I feel so blessed and lucky to have this child.

Baby life

Day in the life of a baby: Drink milk with mommy, have fun with grandma, use hands to explore, take a nap and look relaxed.
