Boy is 6 months old!

And this is what his cute little face looks like most of the time:



He is so super smiley! We sure gave him the right name and Elly often calls him "sMiles"


Here he his showing off his new trick: He is ALMOST completely crawling.


...and back to smiling.


Miles is the best thing ever. We are so happy that he came into our family. He makes all of us laugh and we love playing with him everyday. He and Elly have a special thing going. When one of them is sleeping (or at school), the other one looks all over and waits. They crack each other up and love to cuddle together and watch "a show" together. Elly is super helpful when it comes to Miles. She always "babysits" him while I take a shower. She gets his toys and loves to feed him baby food. She checks on him when he's sleeping (on the monitor or in person). She reads him books and lets him lie right next to her. She is the best big sister and he LOVES her. Elly can make Miles smile or laugh when no one else can.

Miles loves to give kisses. He leans in close to your mouth and just waits there with it open for you to give him a kiss. It's the sweetest thing. Warning: Miles' kisses are extremely wet...but worth it.

Miles likes to "wrestle" with his dad. That usually means that Brandon rolls around with Miles in his arms and Miles- correction: both of them just laugh and laugh. They also like to watch Nightly News together, play the piano, look at screens (iPod screen, computer screen, cell phone screen, TV screen, etc.) and eat mashed potatoes.

Miles and I also have a little thing going. We mostly hang out late at night or early in the morning and mostly one of us is half asleep and wants to be completely asleep. But, we also love to cuddle during waking hours and one of us is VERY squirmy and doesn't like to cuddle as long as the other. But, we make it work and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this boy!
