Big Sister Roxy

Many people have asked us how Roxy, our almost 6-year-old yellow lab mix, is doing with the arrival of the new baby. All in all, she's doing very well and I didn't expect any major problems. She comes to get us if Miles cries too long; she looks for him right away when she comes in the house; she barks if a stranger holds him; and she always wants to be right next to him on the floor. Here are a few snapshots of our morning today. I hope Miles grows up to love these big doggies just like I do!

2 months old today!



Wow! Time has flown by and Miles turns two months old today. It's fascinating to watch him change and grow. He smiles and coos in multiple syllables when we talk to him and he's started cooing at his toys a bit. His head is much stronger and he holds it up almost all of the time. He is taking notice of his hands, rubs his eyes when he wakes up, and has started to follow Roxy as she moves through a room. He's still trying hard to get his thumb in his mouth, but has some more work to do on that!

At the doctor today, Miles weighed 12 lb. 3 oz. (75th percentile) and measured 24.5" long (95th percentile,) so he's growing well. He continues to sleep one 6-7 hour stretch each night getting up once to eat, which is certainly manageable for mommy. Enjoy a few pics of him here or see our Picasa photos page for more.
