HO HO HO!!!

Friday we took Miles to see Santa and it was SO much fun! We went to Phipps Plaza because that is where I always went when I was a kid. Miles thought Santa was great! At first he was just sitting there staring at the cameraman, but when Santa started speaking, he quickly turned his head and didn't take his eyes off of him till it was time to leave. We got a picture as well as a dvd of him and Santa. I am especially excited about the dvd. My mom still has all of my VHS's (yes, I said VHS) with Santa and I think that is a pretty special thing to have.

Fun at the park

This past Thursday we went to an awesome park in Sandy Springs and I am not sure who enjoyed it more, Me or Miles. They had this astroturf type of grass which was great for Miles to explore in. He didn't quite know what to do with it, but he loved it once he warmed up to it.

"Ohhhhhh.....Grass."

"This feels fun!"

"Hey mom!"

9 months old!

Today Miles is 9 months old and it seems so crazy to me. Where in the world have the last 9 months gone? I mean seriously...it is hard to believe that in 3 months he will be a year old. I know I say that every month, but my goodness...time is just passing by so quickly. Here is a list of things that Miles is doing these days.

- Army crawling - He gets up and rocks on his hands and knees, but hasn't mastered it.

- Pulling up on things

- Going from his belly to sitting

- Doing the wheel barrel crawl- Pretty hysterical

- Saying "dada" and "mama"

- Walks while holding onto your hands

- Feeds himself his puffs and any other finger foods

- Laughs at himself in the mirror

- Holds his arms out for you when he wants you

- He LOVES our dog, Laila and he laughs at her all the time

Family Time!

This past Saturday was my 2nd cousin America's 1st birthday. All I can say is "wow!" It is crazy to see this little bitty girl walking around and eating cake and hot dogs. She is only 3 months older than Miles, but it seems like she is so much older. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with our family. While we were there, Miles got to sit with his great grandfather Grumps and he loved every minute of it. Miles is a lot like his mommy and LOVES his Grumpsy.

Miles, Me, Bridget, and America.

America eating her cake...looks like she enjoyed it!

Halloween

Well for Halloween we were in Savannah and didn't get to go trick or treating, but the weekend before, we were able to attend a Halloween party. It was a ton of fun and I am so happy we were able to all dress up. I was Big Bird, Ty was a penguin, and Miles was a duck.

A month later...

For my birthday (yes, almost a month ago) Ty surprised me with a girls luncheon at Nori Nori. The four of us had such a great time and I am not sure we knew what to do with ourselves since our babies weren't with us. After some delicious sushi, Ty showed up with some AWESOME cupcakes and Miles. Thanks Ty for such a great birthday lunch! Also, thank you Kelly for putting together this photo collage and sharing it with me.

You girls are the best!! XOXO
