A Time of Firsts

In the past two weeks Miles has had many firsts... to begin on this long road of firsts, last Friday we went to our favorite place to eat, American Flatbread in Burlington.  For those who have not been there, they make amazing flatbread http://www.americanflatbread.com/.  If you click on the link you can learn about their origin and such.  It was the chosen place for our rehearsal dinner before our wedding, where we said (and we still talk about saying it) "We will order one of everything on the menu please!"  There are not too many times a person gets to say that!

We were excited to bring Miles on his first trip to American Flatbread, a place he will learn to love as he gets older and becomes a pizza-holic like his mommy!!  We didn't realize, however, how excited everyone there was going to be.  I can't tell you how many times someone told us how cute he was....one waitress stopped at our table and said, "Everyone is talking about him, he is soooo cute!!  Everyone keeps saying check out the baby at table 23."  Dylan and I had to laugh, I mean, we think he is the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world, and we know our families feel the same way, but we are all a little partial aren't we?  Well, take a look at what he was wearing, I guess he may have been a little extra cute...

For his next first, Daddy had to put together a little jumper seat, he is ready to move up to super fun stuff, and sitting up is his favorite way to be right now.  It is a little large, but he will be able to do lots of learning and jumping in this contraption!

Miles having a little chat with the frog...

He was able to stay in there for about 10 minutes before he grew tired of it.  The hope is that soon he will be able to stay in there long enough for us to eat dinner!

Another first that happened this evening was Miles' first taste of food, we mixed some rice cereal with breast milk and gave it a shot.  He was able to swallow a little of it, really it was mostly milk!  It was an experience none-the-less!

We know that this is just the first of many more "firsts" to come.  It is so fun to watch Miles experience all of these firsts.  We can't wait for more, but we don't really want them to come too quickly!

Here are some additional photos taken over the last couple weeks.  We are so lucky to have Miles in our lives, he is an amazing child.  When so many are suffering and lives are changing forever I have to take the time to thank the powers that be for looking out for me and my family.  That being said here is some super cuteness for you...

The bathtub is the perfect place to get ahold of his foot and suck on his toe!

Getting him dressed is so much fun, as long as he isn't trying to suck on his toes, it reminds me of when I was little and used to dress up my cabbage patch doll...

Just cuteness!

Bronson is trying to get in on a little bit of tummy time!

Miles has taken such a liking to Bronson, just watching Bronson Miles will start to giggle, it's so funny to watch the two interact.  Mostly it's Bronson's tongue licking Miles' entire head, but Miles is getting in on the action and is starting to grab at Bronson's big ole flappy lips!  Can't wait to see what is going to happen when Miles starts to crawl (well, actually I can wait for the crawling...rolling over is enough right now!).

Below you can find a little comment link.  I encourage anyone who wants to leave a comment to do so, I would love to hear what you have to say after you read our updates!  Until next time!  Love to all of you!

Baby, it's cold outside!!

While Miles sleeps blissfully for the last 2 and a half hours (I'm so lucky!) I am going to try to give a quick update... Not too much has happened in the last week, but we got some great shots of Miles playing with his feet, he has started to suck on his toes, which makes changing a diaper rather challenging!

He is mastering yoga....

and doing aerobics with grampy....

Dylan and I were able to go for a snowshoe with Bronson and his doggie friend Sam while my parents watched Miles for us.  It was a chilly day, just like the rest of the country we had a little cold snap, but we did get to see the sun for the first time in quite a while! We went on the trails at Colchester high school, you could see clear to Burlington, though it was only 15 degrees, the sun felt amazing!

As usual I leave you with a couple of the cute images we captured this week.  Enjoy and Take care!!  Jenny xxoo

Let it Snow...and snow, and snow and....

So....we've gotten about 24 inches of snow and WCAX (our local news station) is saying that we will probably get more in the next 24 hours....YIKES!  Might be a snow day tomorrow for me, can't say that I'll complain, though I won't complain if we don't have a snow day.  Dylan came home from the mountain and took Bronson out to play in the snow.  Bronson loves the snow!

We then had to get Miles decked out in his snow suit to check out the snow.

This one is still a little too big, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of him...

Dylan and Miles are covered in snow because Bronson decided to run right next to them.  Miles got his first taste of snow as it flew into his face.  He wasn't to amused after, but then went down for a delightful little nap after... amazing what fresh air will do!
