Month 11 {signs, phone calls, pointing}

Miles looks like a little boy these days. He is now weighing 22.8 pounds. People warned me that it went fast, but I didn't believe them. Now I can't believe that my little guy is a few short days away from being 1. This was a crazy month. It started off with me leaving for Haiti for 8 days and ended with Stuart being in Memphis for 5 days. We both came back commenting on how big he had grown while we were away. Each day is precious. I long for the quiet moments when Miles still wants to sleep on me. There are only a few moments that he is still enough to let me snuggle still :)
