2-Month Myles

Myles is already 2-Month Old.
Unbelievable!!!

He's been smiling for a few weeks...
especially in response to Clare and Isaac.

Myles hardly ever cries...except for in the evenings when his little tummy is plagued by gas.  As mentioned before, Phil is the Gas Master.  He has several tricks up his sleeve when it comes to relieving gas, and he is always able to make the little man feel better.

Yes...a little man.


He snuggles in bed with the big kids during prayer time.

Clare and Isaac fight over who gets to hold him.

For the most part, he loves being smothered by their loving embrace.
 

Two-Months on the left and One-Month on the right.

At his 2-Month Appointment:
Weight = 11 lbs. 12 oz
Length = 22.5 inches
Head = 15.5 inches

- Everything is filling in...especially his cheeks.
- He loves being held...especially upright.
- He giggles and smiles in reaction to our goofiness.
- He takes a couple of little cat naps and one SUPER nap (between 3 and 4 hours) every day.
- He spits up a lot, but it doesn't bother him a bit.
- He creates copious amounts of laundry for being so small.
- He wakes one time a night (usually around 5 AM) to nurse, 
but he falls back asleep within ten minutes.
- He isn't crazy about tummy time, but his neck is getting very strong.
- Most people think he looks like Mommy.
- Mommy loves him very much!!!!

Look Alikes?











 Myles is both of the left side pictures, and Clare is both of the right side pictures.  We originally thought that Myles looked like Isaac, but we're beginning to think otherwise.

Old McMicky Had a Farm

We went to a really fun birthday party at Old McMicky's Farm...
6 WEEKS AGO!

The kids had a blast!

 Chasing after chickens...

Riding horses...

Milking cows...

 Laughing at the stinky pigs...

 And getting FILTHY on the hayride!

Myles was only ONE week old during this party, 
and I survived my first outing with THREE kiddos.

One week Myles...
(Hard to believe this was already six weeks ago.)

Thankfully, I had two extra sets of hands since Papa and Mema joined us at the farm.

Birthday Boy, Kyler (Isaac and Clare's buddy),
with his Mommy, Jessica (Mommy's good friend and party planner extraordinaire).

Fun Memories!

"A Day in the Life"

My sister, Ann (not that I have any other sisters, but her name deserves mentioning here), gave us a special baby gift.  She gave us a "Day in the Life" photo session with one of our favorite photographers (Abbey Saxton-Guffey...whose name also deserves mentioning).  Thank you Ann and Abbey!

Of the 186 pictures that we got from Abbey, these are some of our favorites.

Myles was exactly 3 weeks old when these pictures were taken, and we're so thankful that we captured a snapshot of this special time for our family.





















Thanks again, Ann and Abbey, for making this possible.
