We had a busy month. We had a few playdates with friends which is always fun! Miles dressed up as a dinosaur for Lake Pointe's Fall Festival. The day after Fall Festival we had our family pictures in Belton with Jade Pierce. She is way cool and I am oh so (im)patiently waiting to see the pictures! The same day, we went to a pumpkin patch and Miles picked out a pumpkin. He loved looking at all the different types. The end of October we celebrated Stuart's (or Daddy to Miles) birthday. After Stuart's birthday, his mom took Miles home with her for a few days. He had a blast hanging out with family! I'm so glad they had some quality time together. We met up with him a few days later and spent the weekend with family and hosting my friend Stephanie's baby shower.
Miles continues to show us that he knows no limits. It is funny how the human mind tends to doubts our own abilities. We think of all the ways something may fail. Miles doesn't do that. Most people would say, "I bet it is tough to pull up on things using only one hand." Miles instead says, "Nah- I got it. No prob." We sure do have a special one. Kind of a flirt, but a special one none the less :) Also, I love the community we have. Each week we are sent encouragement from friends and family. Whether it is a kind word or a story of other defeating the odds to prove society wrong. Proving once again that we truly are "fearfully and wonderfully made".
