two weeks old

miles is two weeks old already! he is changing daily and we are amazed at how alert he is. he is usually awake on and off from 6:30pm to 9pm. he loves to "talk" to us and is even attempting smiles. his cord fell off when he was 10 days old, so he is starting to enjoy the bath...at least while he is comfortably in the warm water. he is growing like a weed! he's managed to outgrow an outfit or two. it seems that everything is plenty big enough around, but not long enough. miles has such long arms and legs! here are some updated photos - now that I know how to access them on the laptop, I will do a better job of posting more often. I have heard from some people (auntie beth & auntie jen) that they check the site daily and are needing "more miles!" here you go...

so sleepy!

out and about

miles and i ventured out to take the dogs for a walk around the block today. robin got it on tape so we could post a new video here.

miles is a great baby!! he is eating well and has even let us get four straight hours of sleep each night...this boy takes after his daddy for sure :) we have survived the first bath at home (he hated it), the first sprinkler action all over the changing table, our first venture out of the house (only 30 minutes behind schedule), and the encounter with tinker and tessie. so far...so good! we are smitten with his every little move and we are both head over heels in love with this little baby boy. thanks again for all of the well wishes...we truly appreciate the support. miles is changing so much every day and we (of course) are capturing as much as we can on film! thought you all would enjoy some new photos!

we're breaking out

on Sunday the family is getting out of the hospital and we can finally take Miles home with us to show him his nursery and introduce him to Tinker and Tessie.
whether you haven't met Miles yet or already have and can't get enough of him, you're more than welcome to call us to come by to visit.
a word of caution, however: the Med City Marathon starts at 7am and there will be a water station set up on the sidewalk right outside our front door. i'm not sure how long the race lasts, but there may still be higher than normal foot/car traffic on our street for part of the day.

EDIT 12:30PM: we made it home and Miles loves it here, especially since we're getting to watch the Twins game together on the couch.
