Celebrations

I felt lucky and honored to host with Rachel a baby shower for our sister-in-law, Janelle, this weekend. We had a lovely time celebrating with our families the upcoming birth of "Matt Jr." Janelle and I have matching baby bumps!

Poor Miles has been sick since Thursday. Friday morning I took him to the doctor and he tested negative for strep and his ears remain clear. It's just a nasty virus and sore throat. He's had a few rough days with no appetite. Today he finally ate a little and even sat in his high chair which he has been refusing to do since he hasn't wanted to eat. His fever broke Friday night and he's on the mend.

We celebrated a quick, early Easter with my siblings on Saturday after the shower. Miles is thoroughly loved - he received Easter baskets from both sets of grandparents and his aunts and uncles. Sunday morning we gave Miles his Easter basket. Our little bunny loved the little puppy and truck book the best (no surprise here - he loves what he loves!).
We had breakfast and went to church with my parents.

Since Miles is sick we didn't make the usual rounds to celebrate Easter with both sides of my family. Instead we took it easy at home this afternoon - Miles had a good nap and we went to the park.

A few Miles-isms:
  • Singing Twinkle, Twinkle, The ABCs, Humpty Dumpty and Eee-I-Eee-I-O. His little voice will just randomly ring out when the singing mood strikes him and he sings on key!
  • Miles likes company - when he's sitting on the floor playing or eating a snack he's always commanding us to "mommy sit daddy sit."
  • Today he exclaimed Happy Easter, greeted people with "hi" at the park and blows kisses when saying goodbye to us and his grandparents.
