7 months

So, I'm a little delayed on our 7 month stats! Only everything has changed, of course!

Stats:
*19 lbs 2 oz
*Size 3 diaper
*mostly wearing 6, 6-9, and an occasional 12 if it runs small.

~Not crawling yet, but can manage to get where he needs to go via "the roll!" He is trying, he can get his whole booty up in the air... he just hasn't quite put all the pieces together yet, but it won't be long!
~He can pull himself up!
~As for talking, just the adadadada, that I've grown to love. He has gotten to where he will mimick some words. Got a WOW out of him this morning. It was crystal clear, but a one time only show apparently!

Fun tidbits:
+Miles loves to be thrown into the air.
+He likes for mama to swing him by his arms.
+Jumping on the bed makes him laugh so hard, but wears us out! (starting a bad habit, mabye, but it'll be okay!)
+The boy has hand eye coordination. I can sit and toss a ball up and down and catch it, he will watch it for a while. He loves playing with these long spoons (we don't use for feedings) but he will take them and bang them on his toys.

Other:
-Starting to see signs of separation anxiety.
-Had RSV this month.
-Got another tooth on its way in.
-Can't get a full night in crib, wants to be held :/

Forward Rebels!

Doctor Office Adventure

I'm playing catch up all at one time b/c we've had a sick baby on our hands. He has remained his "happy baby" self, but his breathing wasn't quite right so I took him to the doctor. Brent asked me a few times... Are you sure you don't want me to go. I told him no, I could handle it. Well, I did... It was a mini adventure, We had to go as a "walk-in" which they only take from 7:30-8:30. So Miles and I were sitting in the car waiting when they opened the door. I got him out of his seat and grabbed his bag and got our names on the list 2nd. (they only see the first maybe 8 people, i couldn't take any chances!) We got back there and they had to clean his ears, MAD baby, then they looked in the ears, MAD baby... he was okay while she listened to him breath... then she did the swab in his nose, MAD baby. Are you seeing a pattern. Miles tested positive for RSV. Did I know what that was, UM negative! The doctor (not our regular doctor) asked me haven't you read about it, I politely said NO, could you just tell me about it. I wanted to say... LOOK dont' make me feel like a bad parent, there is enough crap to read about to keep me busy until he's a teenager. That's what you're here for! I refrained, she's lucky Miles had just given me a full night of rest! So she gives me the low down and then explains we'll be doing breathing treatments. *sigh* We did one in the office, Miles cried so hard that I had to bounce him to sleep. We were there from 7:30 until 9:00. So... we're at breathing treatments every 4 hours, antibiotics 2x for ear infection, dimetap every 4 hours for cough, and plenty of fluids! A sick baby is a lot of work! I'm ready for his wheezing to be gone! I had sooo much fun that Brent gets to do the follow up visit, which will likely be a piece of cake! ha! You'll learn my luck=the best!

Happy Baby before they started messing with him!

This is how he passed out... his face does just like mine did when I was little! I got so upset I'd get red and splotchy... Bless him. He could have gotten something else from me :/

First Halloween

The cutest little bear ever...
I hear ya know, the Ole Miss Mascot, laugh it up!

We stayed in this outfit for all of 10 minutes. Miles only got to go to the church fall festival for a few minutes. He was too sick to go to Scare on the Square, and really too sick for the church thing... but it was his first Halloween... So we caved!!!

My first Ole Miss game...

We took Miles to his first Ole Miss home football game!
The Rebels took on #10 Arkansas on October 22, 2011 with an 11:21 a.m. kickoff!

Miles slept through most of the game, and when he wasn't sleeping he was looking around and checking everything out. He did way better than I would have ever thought. We took our own car over just in case of A) a blowout (which with the season we've been having wouldn't have been a surprise) B) in case Miles didn't do well at the game!
At Miles' first game was Uncle Cory, Aunt Kim, Grandma, and Grandpa! I failed to take a lot of pictures b/c my camera battery went dead :( Sorry here are the only 3 I got.

Ole Miss falls to #10 ranked Arkansas by a score of 24-29. I saved an online article about the game so that one day he can read about it for himself!!

2 teeth!!

Here they are folks!

It was the best I could do!!!
