Miles - Two Weeks

Miles at Two weeks. Look how big his hands are.

Sleeping on Daddy's chest.

Our good friends Jon, Carly and David came by to meet Miles.

A good friend of mine, Charline Tou Ibanez, had Karis 4 days after Miles was born. We went over to her house this week for our first play date. Doesn't Miles look like an old man in this picture?

Miles' First Bath

Miles isn't quite a fan of bath time yet. This is his first bath at home.

Look at that face.

Not very happy.

Once we wrapped him up in the lamb towel he was a happy camper.

Here is a picture of Miller after his first bath. I would say they look a lot alike.

Miles - One Week

Here is Miles at one week (July 19).

Miller is already picking on his little brother. He thought this was so funny. It's an Astros batting helmet that was an ice cream bowl. At least Miles doesn't seem to mind...yet.

Bringing Miles Home

Sorry it's taken me a while to get more pictures up. It's hard to find time for these types of things these days. Here are some pictures of us leaving the hospital on July 14.

Just as we were leaving Methodist hospital.

Loading Miles into the car seat for the first time.

Miller was so excited for Miles to get home. He ran out to greet us and helped us carry him in the house.

Miller wanted to hold baby Miles right when we got home. Look how excited he was.

So sweet. Miller is such a lover.

Our two precious boys.

Miles Judson Arrives

We went in to be induced at 5am on Monday, July 12. It was a really early morning as I only got about two hours of sleep. I just couldn't fall asleep and we had to call the hospital at 3am to confirm our arrival time.

Here's my belly right when we got to the hospital before the whole process started.

The three of us right after Miles arrived. He was born at 11:48 am, weighing 8 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 inches long. The labor process was pretty short, but the epidural didn't quite work. I was only partially numb on my left side and nothing on my right. Needless to say, it was a little more painful than I had planned for. It was pretty rough, but it's over and we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy.

Such a cutie - we are already so in love!

Daddy and son.

My parents brought Miller up to the hospital this afternoon. This is right when they met for the first time. Miller was so sweet and is going to be a great big brother. He was so excited and they stayed for several hours and even had dinner here. We can't wait for them to visit again tomorrow.

Our new family of four.

Family of Three

I'm so excited for Miles to arrive, but I'm feeling a little sentimental about our family of three (If you didn't know I don't really like change). Anyway, here is a picture of our little family of three before church on Sunday. I'm almost 39 weeks in the picture. If you haven't heard, I will be induced on Monday, July 12 if Miles hasn't arrived by then.

Waiting for Miles....

It's been so hot outside and I'm way to pregnant and already hot to spend more than a few minutes out there. We've been doing lots of inside activities (movies, swim lessons, lunch with friends, toddler time at the roller rink, etc.)

Miller at swim lessons with one of his best buddies Claire. They just love Miss Cindy and they are both doing so well.

Carousel ride at the mall with Daddy. He was so excited to ride it since I can never take him (it makes me sick).

Here is the video of Miller jumping off the dock at the lake. He's getting so daring and just loves the water.

Lake Weekend with Friends

We had another great long weekend at the lake the first weekend in June. Our good friends the Storms drove down from Tulsa with their three kids. Miller had so much fun with the gang.

Miller and I on the boat.

Carrie with Laura and Benjamin on the boat.

These guys are everywhere and we call each and every one of them Ichabod.

Miller cleaned the windows with his water Frisbee thing for at least 45 minutes.

The big kids (Laura, Miller & Bryce) watching a movie.

We went to the pool both afternoons. Swim lessons have really helped. Miller just loves the water.

All he wanted to do was jump off the side of the pool. He even jumped off the dock into the lake with his life jacket on.

Memorial Day Weekend

We went to the lake with Noni and JoJo for Memorial Day weekend and had such a good time. It's so nice to go up there and relax. We spent the mornings on the boat and the weather was pretty decent. I pretty much stayed inside during the afternoons since the heat is really getting to me these days.

We bought Miller a large baby pool to keep up there and he absolutely loved it. I think he would stay in it all day long if we let him.

Show me your muscles! What a cutie!

Jud and Miller getting ready to take the wave-runner out.

Not sure if you can tell, but Miller's tongue is sticking out. He does this anytime he is really concentrating on something. Too funny!

Miller driving by himself (it is not on) as Jud pushes it in.

Jud and Miller tubing behind the boat for the first time. Miller loved riding on the new "rocket" tube. I'm pretty sure he's going to be a lake rat when he gets older.
