I thought I’d share some random pictures from the week!

Aaron is great at sending me lots of pictures during the day because he knows how much I miss Miles!

I love going for walks, but this day was REALLY cold so Daddy said I had to bundle up really tight. Auntie called me burrito baby!

This is my “Chewy Ninja” face.. you should see “blanket ninja!”

I love being outside.. and I don’t even mind all this green stuff!
My happiest time is in the morning. I love hanging out with Daddy in the morning.

Today my…. niece (??) was blessed. (Technically Whitney is my second cousin in-law.. I guess. But her mom Katie and I are much closer than cousins. And even though she is technically Aaron’s cousin, I knew her and was friends with her before I even knew Aaron existed. She’s more than a cousin, and Whitney is way more than a second cousin in-law..)

My assignment for the day was to get a decent picture of Miles and Whitney for my sister.. We failed again, pretty miserably. We had this cute idea to have Miles hold her and all he wanted to do was pull her bow off and suck on her head.. It was hilarious, but not cute!

Here is what ensued…

“Mom?? What is she doing on me???”

“Seriously Mom, She’s touching me..”

“Hmmm.. on second thought, that bow looks mighty tasty…”

“Maybe she’s not so bad after all, If you give me your camera string I’ll smile!”

“She thinks she’s bored????????????”

And of course… Pretty Whitney… She will be 8 weeks old in just a few days…

Last but not least.. The only semi decent pictures of the cousins! How nice it will be in a few months when they can sit up next to each other!!

Beeb’s has been completely fascinated with my water bottle lately and even learned how to drink out of it, so while wandering around Target today I found some sippy cups on clearance and decided to buy them for the future…

But when I got home I couldn’t resist the urge to try them out…

And he LOVED it!!! He did much better drinking out of it while laying back than sitting up. I was afraid he’d drink to much and choke, but he didn’t!
I can’t wait until it gets safer to give him water to drink. He is a baby after his own mama’s heart. He really likes drinking water. Right now I only let him have an ounce or so a day, but hopefully once he starts solids (that’s a whole other post!!) he’ll be able to have more..

I don’t think he’s quite ready for his “cuppy’s” yet but it was a good distraction for awhile today!

I almost forgot Miles’s first time swimming!!!

His favorite time of the day is bath time.. Every day I come home from work and sit down to feed him while I watch Gilmore Girls.. At 7:00 Aaron comes down the stairs singing our bath time song and Miles wakes right up and smiles..

He kicks and plays and laughs the whole time he’s in the water.. he loves it. Always has.. We were so excited to take him swimming for the first time.

I just wish it had been warmer.. The water was SOOO cold. He cried when we first put him in but then got used to it..

He never really had a super time… but he tolerated it.. I don’t think we ever got a smile or laugh out of him..

Maybe one day we’ll try an indoor warm pool!
