I'm going to be an Aunt!!!

My sister, Whitney, and her husband, Chris, are expecting their first child together! My niece/nephew is expected to be here June 2 (so Baby Allen and Miles will only be about 14 months apart!)! Just in time for the Mississippi heat wave! Right now, we're speculating BOY! We still have a long time before we'll know for sure... so right now we're just praying her through all the sick she's feeling. I keep telling her... It's so worth it!

Hotty Toddy!

In good times or bad, we are Rebels! Miles was ready for an Ole Miss upset over Alabama! It didn't happen, but that's okay.

Miles didn't go to the game since it started at 5:00. He stayed and spent the day with Aunt Lu. She wore him out, but was sweet enough to keep him awake for us to see him before he went to bed for the night! When he crashed, he crashed hard!

Daddy took this pic to document our first official sit-up! The toys were a bonus!

Our favorite outdoor activity!

6 month check-up!

On Miles' 6 month birthday he had a wellness visit! Unfortunately, that meant another round of shots, and a flu shot (I felt so bad for him that I got a flu shot too, so we'd both be getting shots! HA!)  :P We waiting in the doctor's office for what felt like FOR-EVER. We played with Gigi Whitten, and talked to anyone who would listen. What a social little man we have. He was even fun for the doctor, who said he is very healthy! Thank God! Miles is 18 lbs and 6 oz and 25 inches long. Pretty soon we can go to a front facing car seat! I just know that he's going to LOVE that! We also found out we needed to be doing more solid food. So we went from one baby food a day to 5 baby foods a day with only 16 oz of milk a day. Here are a few pictures from the doctor's office!

How many takes before you get the "right" picture...

I think he just likes messing with us!!! Doesn't matter, he is the cutest thing EVER!

Homecoming!

Lauren and Lindsey made it to the homecoming court! YAY! I'm not sure why they keep asking me to do their hair, but they do... and I'm glad! So here are some pictures! They are beautiful girls, inside and out. I'm fortunate to have gotten to spend time with them since they were in 7th grade.

Happy 1/2 Birthday!

I'm sure critics will have their own opinions about whether or not a 1/2 birthday was necessary, but it was such a fun and sweet memory! We went to Jackson this past weekend, and while we were there we celebrated a milestone... 6 months! Was it a YAY Miles is 6 months old or a YAY we made it party, I'm not sure the jury is still out! Enjoy some pictures!
