We have an active one! Miles went from being 18lbs 4oz (65%) and 27.5 inches long (85%) to now 18lbs 2oz (which may be because of the multiple diapers he has gone through today :)). This month has been full of new firsts. It is awesome to watch the expression on Miles's face when he discovers something new. Now sometimes that something is a neft dart that he spots across the room and won't stop moving till he gets it. Or meeting a cat for the first time (which he loved however his stuffy nose didn't). This month was full of new things and new memories. Can't believe he is already 7 months.
Side note: I'm pretty sure we discovered that Miles is going to play soccer. Kid seriously has some skills.

How has it been half of a year? Each day we love him more and smile more because of him. Miles went from being 17lbs 2oz to 17lbs 6oz (we will get the official numbers on Thursday at his 6th month check-up. This month he has started to show his personality more than ever. August 31st last year is when we announced to the world that we were becoming a family of three. It is hard to believe how much has changed in a year. This month has been filled with family outings, a weekend getaway for Stuart and I, Miles's Aunt B and Uncle Joe moving back to Texas, celebrating his great-grandpa's 80th birthday and play dates!
Mommy confession- Miles continues to amaze me. When he was first born I was worried about so much. Will I be a good mom? Will I know how to teach him what is important in life? And I even thought simple things like how would he crawl? Miles continue to stop me in my tracks with his ability to amaze me. I hope I continue to take the time to learn from my son. He has a joy that is infectious.
