First day using a sippy cup - not too shabby!
I'm so happy I can stand up!
Don't we all wish we were this happy upon waking in the morning?
Miles and Corey. This is Miles' very serious face.He didn't want to share the cell phone.
Hanging out with dad, Lauren and Emily.Freedom!
Today Miles Bennett is 9 months old! He gets bigger and busier by the day. He now has the know how to confidently pull himself up in his crib and on the furniture to stand. He also loves to crawl all over the house. He's no longer satisfied staying on a blanket in the nursery. He loves to hit the open road of the hallway - especially to follow Ruby around. I can't say enough how sweet and smiley of a boy he is. This morning he woke up about 5:50 am and played happily on his own in his crib until we picked him up at 6:30. Much of the time he spent proudly standing up singing to us "ya-ya-ya." He is now a very accomplished peek-a-boo player and loves cell phones to no end. I guess he's a high-tech guy like his dad. This week I found myself thinking multiple times a day how lucky and happy I am to be Miles' mommy.
Freedom for Mommy and Daddy too!
Miles' Nickolay grandparents are back from Texas and they are oh so happy to see their little grandsons again. Miles is thrilled to be getting all of their attention too. This weekend they were generous enough to babysit Miles on Friday and Saturday nights - what a luxury! On Friday evening Mike headed to beer club in Waconia and I went to a kid's consignment sale and dinner with my friend, Jill (Nova' mommy). We didn't hit the jackpot at this particular sale but each found a few treasures for the kiddos. Miles now has 10 more books, a wooden 3-piece puzzle which he loves and a few other new toys to play with. I had a great time and actually stayed out until 11! This might be a new record since Miles was born.
Saturday night Mike and I went on only our second "date" since July 11, 2009. We saw "The Blindside" at the Hopkins dollar theater (loved it) and went for dinner at P.F. Chang's. As we were talking over dinner, just the two of us, we commented that we used to have nights like this one all the time for years before Miles was born. It was fun to go out as a couple again (not as a mommy and daddy) and we would love to do this at least once a month now.
Tonight the Carlson Family, Rachel, Graham and Corey and my parents came over for dinner. It was a great end to a wonderful weekend. Let the good times continue!!
