Month 4 {food,grabbing,rolling}


Summers are hot in Texas. Luckily this month we were able to take a little vacation a go introduce Miles to some of his extended family in Iowa to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday. It was so fun to watch my family love on our sweet boy. It was also meaningful to see Miles introduced to his great-grandpa.

Miles went from weighing 14 lbs 4 oz to 16 lbs 2 oz. This month had the biggest changes. On July 6th, Miles had his first food! He did great and gets better and better each day. Also, on that day he rolled over for the first time! He was so proud of himself. We are one step closer to a baby on the move. I'm not sure if I'm prepared for that yet. This month we went to a Frisco Rough Riders game, celebrated the 4th of July, starting playing and grabbing at toys, and teething. This kid now drools all.the.time. One of the best investments was a chewbeads necklace. I can wear it as jewelry and Miles loves chewing on it. He also started pretending to be shy. When people come up to him and I'm holding him they will start talking to him and he always smiles and then burrows his head into my shoulder. It is hilarious! He also loves looking at himself in the mirror. He smiles every time! Such a fun age. 










Here is a video after swimming at my parent's house. He is just giggling away!

Month 3 {friends,giggles,muscles}

{3 months old}

Parenting is so much fun! Each day that passes by, Miles learns to do something new. It is so much fun watching him grow! Miles went from 13 lbs 11 oz to 14 lbs 4 oz. He is growing so fast! In a matter of a day he would grow out of some of his clothes. He continues getting stronger too!

This month I started back to work. It was really hard. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but it was hard to leave my little man. He bounced around from my mom watching him, my sister watching him, and childcare at my work. I know that every place he goes he is getting loved on, but it still isn't easy.

This month Miles went to his first VBS and on June 14th after playing with his friends at church all day, Miles came home and giggled. I don't think I've ever heard a sweeter sound! He also loves sitting in his bumbo seat and looking around the room. He is starting to lift his head up pretty well when he is on his tummy and loves to sleep on his side. He loves watching the other kids in childcare. It is so funny to watch him looking at all of the action going on in the room.  



Here is the video of the first giggles- he loves his uncle Dave!
