It has been a great first week of the New Year. We spent the week at home unpacking, taking down Christmas decorations, and enjoying the weather. I have heard people say 4-5 months is one of the 'honeymoon phases' of raising children and I agree...this is my favorite age so far! Miles is starting to develop his sense of humor and laughs and smiles a lot! As you can see below he has a new love-his feet! There is nothing like seeing him hold his feet and topple side to side with those chunky legs!
I have been really trying to provide him places to roll and flop around, he is usually so happy with a blanket on the floor and a few simple toys. He also loves to look at himself in a mirror, which is usually the only way I can get him to stay on his stomach without rolling over! But even that sometimes won't keep him there...
In addition to smiles he has started to make some pretty funny facial expressions. I usually can't catch them on camera, but here is one that made me laugh. I would call this 'hungry bird.'
We decided later in the week to make a trip to Tulsa this Friday to visit my Uncle and Aunt. Toby had undergone heart surgery a few weeks ago and recently was in the hospital with fluid complications. We thought a visit from Miles might speed his recovery! Also, he is a faithful Razorback fan and I thought it'd be fun to enjoy the Cotton Bowl with them! Miles pulled out his Hog gear and was ready to travel again!
We had such a great visit with Toby and Sylvia! We enjoyed some of Bryan's favorite Chicago style pizza from Savastano's and the Hogs pulled out a victory! We spent the night and enjoyed Toby's waffles this morning before heading home.
And as usual my Uncle had a project up his sleeve...You'll have to ask him about this, I dropped Geology the first day of class. He is a genius!!
Well, if you haven't guessed it by now, I am totally in love with my Miles. I never in my wildest dreams could imagine a love like this. It makes me value my parents even more, appreciate my friends and their children, and thank God every day for letting me experience this gift.
Have a great week!
