Month 9 {mama!, standing, singing}

9 wonderful, crazy, exhausting, life changing months. Our Miles is starting to act and even look like a little boy rather than a baby. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn. He is starting to use problem solving skills which is making me worried for what we are store for in the future! He is a smart little cookie. He went from weighing 19lbs 4oz to (well we will find out officially on Thursday at his 9 month check up).

This past month was a lot of fun! We celebrated Thanksgiving with Stuart's side of the family. Every year they stand in a big circle and mention what they are thankful for. This year I was so overwhelmed with blessings. From our sweet Miles to the community that love us daily. However, Miles didn't understand the concept of listening to others and decided he wanted to sing while everyone was saying their blessings :) The joys of having a child! Miles LOVED the Thanksgiving food and being passed around by all of the family members.

Also this month, Stuart's family sold their house and moved into a new one, I accepted a position to be the new Children's Minister at Lake Pointe- Richland, Miles has been Christmas shopping then any boy would like to, we went to Miles's friend Jax's first birthday party, went to a Christmas party, and we played in our first snow/ ice of the year!
