My goodness, I can't believe I can say I have a 6 month old little boy tomorrow! I don't feel like much has changed since the last time I posted but I felt like I needed to say a little something on this momentous occasion! He is on the other side of his first year, closer to being a toddler than a newborn. It makes me feel proud that I kept him alive for so long! Yeah!
I do feel like he is outgrowing his crib! He can hardly roll over anymore without hitting the sides. All night we hear thumps coming from his monitor as he hits the side of his crib...again. But, I know I'll be grateful for those bars keeping him in when he starts toddling!

| Release me! This is what I walked in on after a nap... |
We got him a walker from Babies R Us this last week and he is surprisingly good at getting around in it so far! I mean, until he hits a wall... He hasn't quite figured out how to steer the darn thing. He looks so big in it though! We got the cheapest one since we had a gift card and didn't want to spend much over it. It cost us $9 - what a deal!
Miles loves to hit, scratch, pull hair, and kiss (open mouth, I'm-gonna-eat-your-brain zombie kisses). It is so...endearing. My favorite is when he hits the loaded spoon I'm trying to get into his mouth when I feed him. Think millennium falcon flying through the asteroid field... that's what meal time is like. I have to try to dodge waving arms, feet, sippy cups, etc to get that spoon in his mouth. Good times!
We also finally got some pictures of Miles in his sweet shoes from Thailand! My friend Yok sent these to him. In her note she said they were handmade by an indigenous tribe in Thailand that sells handicrafts. They are a keepsake I will always treasure!
Other than that, all is well here! Andrew and I had a great anniversary and he is settling well into school and the early morning routine. We are so looking forward to my brother, his wife, and two kids visiting from Ohio soon! He will be down for medical school...stuff, and I can't wait to see them! Especially their little kids, one of which was born in May. We are planning on doing Bradshaw family pictures while they are down, so we might get a decent family picture with our little Miles - finally!
