Myles's First Halloween

Tupelo Honey Bee & our Puppy Myles

Myles really liked Tupelo's costume - this was the first time he tried to "pet" her

Destined to be Best Friends

Myles had his first taste of tv by helping us cheer on the LA CLIPPERS in their first game of the season!

Myles Hangs Out

Myles is 8 weeks old today! He is celebrating by wearing his new UGA onesie & cheering on the Bulldogs as they face their ugliest rival. Goooo DAWGS!!! (This game is on as I type this, so the outcome is still unknown.) 

Hanging in his finest attire. Goooo DAWGS!

Hanging under the yucca tree

Hanging with the mini-wiener

Hanging in the crib.
Usually that owl faces him. I left the room for 2 minutes & when I returned, it was like this.
Apparently Myles didn't want that owl staring at him.

Hanging like a boss (yea for jacket weather!)

Hanging at home...a sleepy smile

Hanging on Mama's lap...I love this pic!

Hanging on the changing table. It's nice to have a clean butt.

Hanging on the couch...getting bigger everyday.

On a separate note, today is also my parents' 38th wedding anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad! XOXO

Happy 9th Birthday, SmithAldridge or Happy Anniversary!

Today is Greg's & my 9th wedding anniversary (& the 13th anniversary of our first kiss.) In honor of this, thought I'd post some wedding pics from the big day. 10/18/03, the birth of SmithAldridge!

We married at my parents' home in Tallahassee under an arbor built by my Dad

Our recessional song was "California Stars" by Wilco...fitting, no?

Love

All our guests - love em!

We cut the cake using my Dad's Navy sword

Sparkler Sendoff!

Myles Takes a Hike...Kinda

We took Myles on his first "hike." It was a hot day & we didn't have too much time, so we checked out Eaton Canyon for the first time as it was dubbed online as a "hike good with a stroller." We also drove up the 2 for some cooler weather & a nice view.

"Hike Good with a Stroller" eh?

Visitors are always welcome??

As it was hot & sunny, most of Myles's hike was spent like this. But that's ok b/c he was asleep.

Myles's 1st diaper change in the car. Not well received.

Diaper Duty for Diaper Doody

All cleaned up. Calmer now. Wouldn't you be?

View from the 2

After a car feeding (also a 1st), Myles gets burped against a lovely mountain setting.

This little walk was stroller-free

Myles, Week 5 & 6

"Pfffffft"

Myles wakes up bright eyed & ready to start the day!

Every morning we play "wake up music" & Myles does his dancing

We always try to work in a couple walks throughout the day

"It's rude to stare, owl."

"Take that, glib owl!"

Myles finally tolerates the activity mat for more than 2 minutes. Yea!

Myles & Tupelo fell asleep on me. They were both snoring when I took this picture.

"Who you lookin' at? You saw what I did to that staring owl didn't ya?" 

Myles - 1 Month Old

MYLES

1 Month Old

8lbs 14.5oz

21 1/2 inches long

Myles had his one month checkup where we learned he's gained "the perfect amount of weight" (whatever they mean by "perfect" - at his 2 week appt she told me he was gaining too fast) and that we aren't supposed to "do anything" for his 3-4 hour crying spells and lack of daytime sleep...apparently "they all do that." Either way, Myles is doing great & right on track!

"Hmm, friend or foe?"
