The Official Stair Master

9 Months

This picture pops up every time Tim calls me on my phone and it just reminds me how little and small Miles once was. I can't believe that used to be my baby-- he's grown up so much!

Just chill-ax'n in a chair all my size

9 Month Stats
17 lbs. -- 4th percentile
27 inches -- 10th percentile

Uniformly small and cute as can be!

Leave it to Daddy...

...to dress Miles in an outfit like this.

1. blue socks
2. bright green sweat pants
3. dirty shirt with throw up all over it
4. and a mismatched hat

It's a good thing he looks cute in just about anything.

Meeting the Funcle!

That stands for the "fun" uncle, not the other "f" word--dirty minds! This past weekend uncle Stokes came into town for a skeleton race and he graced us with his presence at Logan's b-day partay and Miles got to meet him for the fist time.

Seeing Stokes made us miss him and his cute family even more than we already do. We know you practically live at a resort in Florida, but we sure do miss you guys in Utah. :(
P.S.--it snowed today!

Weekends...

Weekends have definitely changed since we've had Miles. We've said (temporarily) good bye to climbing and biking together (sort of hard to do with kids, unless you go with other couples and take turns watching each other's children--which we've done). With nap times to take into consideration we usually find ourselves hiking with the pups. This weekend, however, we found ourselves at the Clark Planetarium (more of a playground to Tim than any other kid in there). As Miles gets older and is more aware of his surroundings, it's fun to watch him take it all in. Miles and I sat and watched this ball rollercoaster contraption for almost 30 minutes and anytime I started to walk away he would start whining because he wasn't done watching it yet. All the while Tim was away reading every bit of information involving our solar system. If this is a sign to come, I think Miles might be science guy--just like his daddy.

Air Guitar

While most people are honing their "Rock Band" skills on Wii, we like to practice our air guitar while bathing.

A family that poses together stays together.

Once again my cousin did an awesome job on our family photos. If anyone wants nice and affordable pictures done she's your lady. These are straight from the camera and haven't even been touched up yet. There are so many great pics--I'll post some more later.

What I'm going to be when I grow up...

... a plumber!

Think you've had a bad morning?

Foto Flashback

As I was searching on my computer I came across these from Miles' 10 day photo shoot. I can't believe how tiny every little feature was on him. These are some of my faves from his uncooperative moments.

It is crazy how one picture can bring about so much emotion, but I look at the photo below and beam with gratefulness and love. I think I'm married to the most wonderful man and daddy ever. I love how I still get tingly inside when he kisses me.

I think it is really awesome that Tim and Miles have such a special bond and that they get to spend so much time together.

Comfortable in daddy's arms.
