Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very nice Thanksgiving. We didn't go anywhere or do anything (except make a FANTASTIC turkey dinner), but we had a great day hangin' out just the 3 of us. Miles slept through most of the dinner preparation, but woke up just in time to help with the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, etc. I put him in the baby carrier and he helped with those final meal preparations. Good times!

We have so many things to be thankful for this year and at the top of that list is having Miles in our lives! He brings us so much joy and happiness. He truly is a gift from God. We also are so thankful for all of our wonderful friends and family. We love you all and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Two months

Miles turned 2 months old last Saturday! He is getting so big and is starting to show his personality more. We absolutely adore him and are enjoying every step of his life. I had two favorite pictures this month on his chair and I couldn't choose between them so you guys get to see both.

Smiling at my silly dad!

For those who pay attention and care, it is the same chair as his 1 month picture, but we bought a cover for it so it would match his nursery colors better.

We are slowly getting his nursery put together so one of these days hopefully I'll have pictures of that too.

In honor of his 2 month birthday (not really!!) I got to have a girls weekend in Vegas. Before we even knew about Miles my mom had purchased tickets for us to go see the Season 5 So You Think You Can Dance tour in Vegas. My mom was originally going to come out for the show, but because of her recent trip out here to meet Miles she decided not to come again so quickly so I invited my friend in St. George and Dave decided not to go as well so he could stay home and watch Miles (what a GREAT husband!!) so I invited a friend from here. The three of us girls had a blast. I didn't take any pictures because I wanted Dave to have the camera in case Miles did something new (didn't want to miss out!!). Shandra and Erin both took tons for me though so when I get pics from them I'll post them on here.

Miles of Smiles

We've had a fun couple of weeks because Miles has learned how to do something VERY spectacular! It makes all those late night/early morning feedings worth it! We think he is adorable and are enjoying him sooooo much!

After he gets done eating we have a routine of him then sitting in my lap for a while so he can look around and take in his surroundings, we sing songs, and it also wears him out! While sitting in our chair in the living room he will always look at the same spot and get such a HUGE smile on his face. He could be looking at our brown wall, but I like to think he is looking at our newly updated family picture on the wall of the three of us.

Here he is with Dad looking at that same spot on the wall

And my favorite smiley picture by far!

His smiles are so hard to capture because as soon as he sees the camera he gets interested in its little red light instead of smiling so these smiley pictures will have to do for now!
