We love you Nana!!!

And so the cycles of life go.  On the same day Miles gets his first tooth, his great grandmother, Nana, passed away.  She had been sick for awhile, and it was truly a blessing b/c she was ready, but still sad.  Nana and Miles were buddies, as you can see from their smiles.  Even in the end, she smiled for Miles, and he LOVED his Nana, and smiled a big smile for her too on her last day.  We love you Nana and will miss you so much!

Thanks for playing Travis!

Trav and I always have fun together!  I am so glad he came to play yesterday.  We loved looking outside and playing by the door.  Thanks for coming over Travis!

fun weekend with Sitie!

Look how much fun I had with my sitie this weekend!  She came and stayed with me on my first weekend away from mommy and daddy.  I was so silly with her and on my best behavior too.  Thanks for coming to stay with me sitie!  I love you so much.  Let's do it again really soon.

Happy Halloween!!!

Yes, it's early, but we are getting mileage (no pun intended) out of this little costume! These are some of his friends too-they loved being in their costumes together-even if it was 80 degrees in those fleece outfits.  Not sure they noticed:)

Happy 8 months!

TX OU weekend 2008!

Hook 'Em horns!!!  Wow, our TX OU weekend this year looked a little different than last year or any other past years for that matter!  But, it was a great time, and Miles especially loved it-he actually cried every time we celebrated:)  I think he gave the Longhorns their luck with his favorite new shirt.

My newest trick!

I am now crawling.  It started as an army crawl and still is sometimes, but I can sometimes get up on my knees and hands and crawl after mommy.  I sure can get around much faster this way!  It does take a lot of encouragement though to get me going.  I would still rather mommy carry me everywhere, but she's not as willing as I wish she would be.  Guess I will have to learn to walk pretty soon if I want to get around:)

Do these keys make me look fat?

Please look at how much meat I have on my bones.  Do you think I like to eat?  I am just like mommy and daddy!  We love our food!  I have a gut and need a bra! 

I am so sleepy!!!

This is how I fell asleep today b/c I was exhausted!  My mom tried to change up my schedule on me, and had me up at 6:30 and I haven't really slept much today b/c I am so thrown off.  I was playing in my crib, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in this weird position.  I didn't even try to lay down-just fell forward with legs in front of me and all.  Didn't know I was that tired!  Hope I sleep well tonight.

Fall!

So, I mean fall is here, and although it's only cooled off a couple of degrees, I will take it!  Here are some pics of our serious Miles, who apparently doesn't like to smile, but sure enjoyed the pumpkins, and his friend Travis Wakefield!  

The other meaning of the title is that Miles had his first fall this weekend-it was rough!  I really was afraid someone would call CPS on me too b/c of course it was in public with tons of non parents looking at me as if I was the worst kind!  Why couldn't his first big fall be here at home-ugh!  He's so fine though and big fall to me means he cried hard for a minute, not, we took him to the emergency room or anything.  The only evidence was a bruise for maybe 2 days:)  I felt like a child abuser!
