Miller - 13 Months

Miller is 13 months and learning so much everyday. He is starting to walk all over the place now. He still has not figured out how stand up without holding on to anything so once he's down he crawls over to something to get back up again. He says a ton of words, but he's still pretty hard to understand (anything that starts with a "B" sounds like Ba - balloon, ball, baby, etc.). We have a busy schedule: Music on Mondays, about to start swim lessons on Tuesdays, Little Gym on Wednesdays, Mother's Day Out on Thursdays and Play Group on Fridays. Here are a few pictures of him playing at home.

He loves his chair and climbs in and out, in and out all the time.

He also loves his tool bench. He is just getting to the point where he will wear hats again.

TCU Girls Weekend

Lindsey and Miller drove up to Dallas/Ft. Worth for a weekend with the college girlfriends. Friday night we had dinner at Taylor's house with the kiddos and Saturday night we went to the TCU football game. It was so much fun to see all the babies and catch up with everyone!

Miller at One Year

Miller had his one year Doctor appointment today. He got four shots and was so good. Lets hope he feels ok during the next 24 hours. He weighs 24 lbs. 4 oz. (75%) and is 32 inches long (96%). He's grown a lot in the last three months.

He also took his first steps yesterday at our first music class. He basically just took off. I guess he just needed an audience.

Labor Day in Durango

The Argue family took a trip to Durango, Colorado for a long Labor Day weekend. Evan's boyfriend Blake joined us along with our good family friends the Biddle's (Donna, Bob and Blake). We had lots of fun and even took a day trip to Telluride.

Miller and I on the airplane. He is a seasoned traveler, but this trip was the hardest so far since he is always moving.

This is the house we rented.

This is the first tee at Glacier Club where Joe has a lot. The guys played golf there two days and some of them were able to tee off from up here. What an amazing view!

Our family in front another great view at Glacier Club.

What a picture! It could be the Argue Christmas card.

We hiked to a waterfall close to the house one morning. Jud was the only brave one that climbed up to it. Can you see him?

We also took a day trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Talk about amazing views and ruins.

First Day of Mother's Day Out.

Miller had his first day of Mother's Day Out at our church. Here he is ready to go. Lately he's having issues with Mommy leaving so he screamed and banged on the door for a while. Hopefully it gets better. They also don't have a morning nap so he practically fell asleep while eating lunch - poor guy.

Birthday Lunch

The Argue family went to lunch for Miller and Evan's birthdays (they share the same birthday - August 28).

Bathtime Fun

Miller got a new bathsketball bath toy from Blake for his birthday. He loves it!

Miller's First Birthday Party

We had Miller's first birthday party at the house this past weekend. We had so much fun!

Miller all ready for the party in his birthday outfit. He's pretty close to walking.

Here is Miller's birthday cake with his picture on it. We also got him a small one for him to dig into.

He's not so sure about the hat.

Getting ready to blow out the candle. We taught him how to blow and even practiced blowing out a candle. But when the time came, he froze.

Digging in.

I think he likes it.

Yep, he likes it!

He was really tired after a long day.

Fun Weekend at Home

We had a great weekend at home playing and getting ready for Miller's first birthday party.

We played in a diaper box - he loved being pushed around the house.

We put together Miller's birthday present from GraMary and Grandpa - a sand and water table with a digger. He loved playing with it, even without any sand or water.

We also put together Miller's new swing/slide he got as an early birthday present from Noni & JoJo. He loves the swing and is starting to get the hang of the slide.

Old Friends

Our good friends the Morgan's had a party the other night since Livi was in town with her kids. It was so much fun to visit with old friends.

Miller loved sitting at their table for little people. Look how big he is.
