The First Month

The nursery


Today's pic...


Look at that sweet smile!



The cousins (who are already Bama fans, despite an attempt at supporting the Gators from me!)

We love Ikea!

Wow. Motherhood is a LOT of work! Of course, I knew that from all of the incredible woman in my life who have done this before me, but I certainly didn't understand just how much work it is until now. Miles is a sweet baby, but he is also a pretty demanding little fella. As I type this, he is enjoying an after-lunch nap so I could have 5 or 15 minutes.

As we approach the 1 month mark, it is getting easier to understand what he needs. He is growing rapidly and already weighs 9 lbs 6 oz and is now 21 inches long. He's starting to focus and sometimes gives us a cute little smile.


Here are some highlights of the past month. He met all 4 grandparents, Auntie Jennifer, Uncle Buzzy and Aunt Omaris, cousins Juni and Ella, Uncle Jay and Tia Michelle and cousin Noah. He has also met most of our neighbors, my colleagues, our minister Alan and his lovely wife Wendy.

We are so blessed to have an incredible support group. We certainly couldn't have done as well the past month without all of our family and friends. Now we're going to take advantage of this beautiful day!!

Oh wow! Love all these shots. Miles is already getting so big. I love him in his 'Bama gear, love he and his cute cousin, like seeing the paci holder from Atlanta, and think his nursery is adorable! Keep them coming. XOXO
