Is this baby cute or what?

Sorry this post is a day late for those I promised to update on Fridays.  The weeks go by so fast and Miles is getting so big and more fun by the day!  This is a picture before he and I went for coffee with the girls. He has started smiling and using his eyebrows and it melts my heart.  I am in trouble...looks like these will get him whatever he wants!

Speaking of facial expressions, I snapped this photo of Miles next to a baby picture of Bryan.  I think this answers the question (as if there was one) about who he looks like.  I am okay with that...I think I married a very handsome man!

Developmentally, Miles is starting to sit up with less support and continues to use his arms and legs more purposefully.  We tried the Bumbo seat just to see what happened and he seemed to like it.  We still provided a little head support just in case!

He also continues to love bathtime and I am sure to scrub in all of his little fat rolls that are magically appearing. 

We had a major accomplishment this week as Miles took his first bottle of breastmilk.  I kept 'accidentally forgetting' to have him try it because I feared it would interfere with breastfeeding.  (And also I kind of liked being his one and only, ha!)  But we were fortunate enough to have Cindy Fransen offer to watch Miles Friday night and we knew we had to try it.  It was very sweet watching Bryan feed him and experience the look of satisfaction I see every day! Oh and by the way, we had a wonderful date night out and Miles slept ALL NIGHT! He woke up at 6 am to eat and was a very content baby this morning.  I guess the bottle worked!!  Thanks Cindy!

Today (Saturday) we went downtown to see the new Myriad Gardens.  They had a great festival with food, drinks, and a pumpkin patch.  We met the Opies and Risches and watched the kids play.  Bryan and Miles also met Rumble and the Thunder girls.  It was a beautiful, warm day and we were all a little tired when we got home!

So as the week draws to an end and Bryan cheers on his Illini we look forward to a fun upcoming week and look forward to cool, fall weather!  Love you all! This picture was Bryan and I having fun at the mall dressing up our little doll...
