catching up

yes, I'll admit it, I'm way behind on blogging. this is not to say that we haven't had anything fun to blog about, but rather that I am now officially "back to work" and it has consumed too much of my time. I finally downloaded all of the pictures we have taken in the last week and a half and (not surprisingly) there are MANY! such is the life of an only child!! last weekend we had a lot of time to relax at home as a family as well as go to 'greek fest' and participate in the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) annual 'greseth golf outing'. miles and I joined in on the first two, but opted out of the golf tournament. monday, august 25th, was my first day back at work. miles went to daycare and was the best baby there! well, ok, he's the only baby there! grandma (my mom) was gracious enough to offer to do daycare for us. this has made my transition back into the working world a LOT less stressful. I feel so blessed to know that he is in a safe and loving place everyday that I'm at work. for those who don't know, I will actually be working part-time this year at riverside elementary school. I'm going to be teaching thursdays, fridays, and every other wednesday. I'm fortunate to have this opportunity and, I must say, I'm quite excited about it! it's great to be back at school with my friends and I'm sure that the adult conversation will be beneficial!

our little miles is changing so much everyday. he now brings everything to his mouth, drools like a faucet, kicks his legs a mile a minute, rolls from his tummy to his back (most likely in protest of tummy-time!), holds his head up like an old pro, giggles, and...drum roll please...sleeps through the night!!! he eats around 7 pm, is sleeping by 8/8:30 pm, and wakes around 6am! what an angel :) he truly is a wonderful baby and we feel incredibly blessed to have him for a son.

here are some pictures from the last ten days.

this is what I get to wake up to every morning!

uncle brian came to babysit miles...miles LOVES brian!!

holding his head up like a champ!

I did say "like a faucet" - this is his best impression of a denture-less man
