Jumparoo!

We have been exploring all sorts of new toys as Miles gets more stable and prefers to be upright rather than laying down. Here's the latest jumparoo practice session!

Lots of Laughs

Apparently, Miles thinks it's funny when he fills his diaper and I call him Stinky Monkey. These are the most laughs I've seen yet! Enjoy!

Baptism at 4 months old!

Happy 4 months, Miles! We had a fun weekend hosting family and friends to celebrate Miles' baptism at the Basilica of St. Mary. Miles was baptised with 19 other babies and he did quite well at the long service - no crying at the baptismal font! My favorite photos from this weekend are below!




Miles turned 4 months old on Sunday, the day of his baptism, and we are having so much fun with him at this age. We watch him learn and explore every day. Recently he's been starting to giggle, rolling front to back and back to front, studying his hands and toys, and scooting on his tummy on the floor or in his crib to get from point A to B. I call that one inchworm skills! At his 4 month appointment yesterday, Miles weighed 15 lb. 3 oz. (60%) and measuerd 26.5" (95%).



The other big change in the past month has been Miles' time at day care (or baby work as Jason calls it.) We are very happy with our day care and feel lucky to have Diane so close to our house. She is a licensed day care provider who has 7 kids in her care and lives on the corner of our block. She's been doing day care for 30 years and we feel that she really shares our values and the ways that we hope to raise our kids. (The photo below is not day care, it's my Grandma Nelly!)

Miles Laughs

I picked up Miles after work today. Normally Katie does this, but she had to stay late at work today. We had dude time after work before Katie came home.

We've been waiting for weeks for a little laugh from Miles. We got a hint of one this past Monday on the way out to the car from dinner with friends. Today Miles delivered the laughs. He laughed for a couple minutes for me, but I only managed to capture a little bit with the iPhone.

CSA Goodness

Our CSA this summer has been great. Our most recent box was interesting enough to warrant a couple photos.

Our watermelon had bug-induced mini-crop circles (although it still tasted great).



We also got Romanesco. Which can only be described as the fractal variety of broccoli.
