Story Time with Mama and Baby David (and other pictures)

Counting monkies with mama!!! Watch David as he pats along with the rhythm of "Silly Monkies Jumping on the bed." And he does this night after night...He's so good!!!! And by the way...Honest...We laid him down after his story and he went right to sleep and woke up at 7 this morning!!! He slept all the way through the night! He's been doing that alot lately and we hope that it lasts a really long time! Mommy and Daddy like their ZZZZ's!
If you have trouble reading....that says HANDSOME LIKE DADDY!!! OH YEAH

After swimming in Houston, it was time for a bath...Boy do I look good! Look at my milk belly!

Who needs drivers ed...My mommy is a good teacher!!! (And no we weren't moving...Sheesh people)

I"m trying to sit up on my own...But I still need a little help from Mommy...

Going to Houston!

Well we took a well needed trip to Houston to see everyone especially Great Grandma Josephine...What a great weekend! It was hot as all get out, but it was great to see everyone!!! Here are some pictures from the weekend...Enjoy!

Aunt Diana looks great! She got Lasik surgery and she's back to 100 percent 20/20 vision! She was in great spirits!

And Cousin Rosanna, aren't we both just the cutest!!! (There is something obviously good on television right now...;)

Aunt Yvonne and cousin Ethan....Its great to SEE you again!!!

Cousin Ethan let me enjoy his snuggly bear's company for a time this weekend...And did I mention my hands taste wonderful!!!! ICKY NASTY HANDS!!! That's what mommy and daddy always say! Why do they say that???

I"m enjoying holding my head up...I"m also touching my feet...The next thing is sitting up and then hopefully getting a little bit more mobile day by day!!!

Great Grandma Josephine, Anna, Mama and baby David...Enjoying the patio at Grandma's place. Dad's behind the camera, like usual...;)





On the road to Houston...Or on the road back from houston...I can't tell...But I tell you this...The baby and Sarge are getting along quite nicely!!!



We got to borrow a pair of cousin Ethan's swim trunks which were as cute as can be...Speaking of cute...How about mama? She looks really pretty!



Ethan's the man! He was boogying down to the music!!! He's such an awesome little man!!!



After mama was complaining about Daddy's "fake smile" I wanted to show my true enthusiasm...And oh yeah...Isn't David the most cutest of the cutest ever???!!!

Two Words...HOLY COW!!!

Today was David's 4 month old check up today!!! Statistics - Length 26 1/4 inches...90th PERCENTILE OF HIS AGE GROUP!!! THAT"S AWESOMELY TALL!!! And he was 15 lbs. 10 oz. Which was normal...But as we all know...Things will slow down and speed up and I just hope that he's taller than his dad...Because Dad's short and shortness gets you nowhere in this world. And the doctor checked him out and he is doing so well! He was smiling at the doctor and giggling and then it was SHOTS time. He didn't cry for the first one but for the other three he was quite upset. But daddy hugged and kissed him and he cried for a total of about 2 minutes. That's it! He was done crying by the time we left the doctors office! He's such a good boy!!!



THERE'S MORE GOING ON TODAY!!!!



Lots of changes going on!!! There are 3 big things that we think make a great growing up story...#1.We have officially made the transition into all of his new 3-6 months clothes. We took all the newborn stuff and have placed it away either for "number two" or for donation...#2. We have finally taken out the bassanet part of the baby's bed, and now he is officially sleeping on the bottom. All the way down there...(Plenty of backache's to go around if you ask daddy)but its still another stepping stone, and even mama said it that the next thing you know, he's going to be sitting up and smiling at us when we come in to see him in the morning. #3. We used his bigboy high chair that Uncle Adam and Aunt Kelli sent to us for his baby shower. It works absolutely great and we really appreciate them getting us this great gift for David!!!



Here are some photos...Enjoy!!!
All the way to the bottom!!! That means I am a big boy now!!!

Man...Uncle Adam's and Aunt Kelli's chair is the best! Its the perfect height, angle, everything! We're having bananas for breakfast this morning! He loves bananas....BUT...We tried mashed Chicken tonight and it was atrocious!!!!OMG! So we had sweet sweet applesauce instead and he ate the whole jar!!!

This is post dinner...MAN...Chicken when prepared properly is good...But mashed chicken in chicken broth...AGHAGHAGHAGH!!!! But the applesauce made it all better!

Our pre-checkup nap...He did not want to get up to go to his check up!!! But when we got to the doctors office...It was time to eat so we had a bubba and he woke up right away! The doctors love him!

HI EVERYONE! I LOVE YOU!

After our morning bottle and some one on one time with mommy and daddy...We need to work on motor skills, so we had some time in the activity center playing with our Zeeba and Lion and we work on communicating!!! Of course Sarge gets in on the act and puts on a show of his own...Please remember....IF YOU HAVEN"T SEEN IT>>>>>THIS BOY SAID MAMA!!!! Its in a previous post...GO LOOK IF YOU HAVEN"T!!!

Good Buddies!!!!

We went to see Auntie Dana and Uncle Jason and I got my picture taken with my new best buddy!!! Derek and I are going to be friends forever!!!

There's baby Derek....What a guy!!!!! He's such a good boy!!! We love him so very much!!!!

Derek's sleeping like a good little baby...He's only a week old and David's just hanging out being his usual awesome self!!!!

David's wearing the shirt that Big Papi and Grandma Les sent for him! Its the summertime and this shirt reminded me of being on a Hawaiian vacation!

David likes to play peek a boo...And when we do...He cracks up and giggles till he gets the hiccups!!!

C is for Car and M is for Mama!!!!!

Big posting day, David grabbed his feet for the first time today! Big stuff, but it gets bigger! Forgive me, but rolling over at two weeks, and now speaking his first word at nineteen weeks? Better yet, such luck to get them both on video? Can you say, "Wow!" He reaches a milestone and they all touch your heart, but this one will always be the most tender. Pardon the whining, but as Eric says, "the proof is in the puddin'"


Baby's first word!

Girls Night Out!!

Hallelujah! A small group of Moms needed girl/grown up time, so we ventured out together for $1 Baby Bellini cocktails and a not so late showing of the new hit Mama Mia! A roaring good time was had by all. Looks like it may become a monthly meeting. Look Out happy hour specials everywhere!

What do you expect after a few cocktails? Focused pictures?


Patrizios....Very chic, very cheap.


Ushers will take your group photos, did you know?

What a lazy day

We're just lounging around today, updating all of David's wardrobes, cleaning up a bit, and making the transition from level 1 to level 2 diapers. Just another lazy day around the Miles house! Enjoy!

Hey Mommy....I know you have some bananas or some carrots or something you want to give to me...I just know it!

Saagadoo...He's such a good doggie...Truthfully...Dosen't like the baby much...But we think he's coming around...

Baby David wants to send out hugs and kisses to everyone!!!!! He loves everyone very much!!

Okay guys...Here's the plan....Kermit the frog, I want you to go get mommy...Basil the monkey....I want you to go and get daddy....Everybody else...lets practice our singing...LA LA LA
LA LA!!!!!

Okay....I see em...I can touch em....and they don't smell too good, except after a bath...and I am always hearing mommy talking about them and when I stand up for daddy, I guess they help me...But I'm not really sure what the heck these things are! I just know I like em!!!!

Hi Everyone!
