Grateful...

Can you believe it?? 2 blogs in one week!! I'm trying hard to make this a habit! We hit the beach as part of my birthday weekend and it was beautiful. The wind was a little chilly- but we had so much fun! I think Miles is a fan.

I think we have expert sand castle building in our future. Miles was already trying to figure out the tools.

I have to say I think being parents is the best gift in the world. It is amazing to watch Miles grow, explore, learn and change everyday! I look at him and think- how could anyone doubt there is a God??! You know... there was no person and now there is this cute little person! - who works- everything works!! Praise God! He is such a joy in my life. I couldn't ask for anything greater. I am incredibly grateful! :)

Back to Bloggin'

Ok friends.... I know you all have been very disappointed in our lack of posting. I have been saying for weeks now that I am GOING to get back in to posting. So here it is 12:30 am and I am determined to get a new post in. It's amazing how time just slips away from you- especially when you have a little man who is growing like a weed! I can't believe how much he has grown since my last post!! He is now 8 months old- soon to be 9 months! almost crawling. He has the one leg scoot going on and tends to go the wrong direction when he finally figures out how to get on all fours. It is so cute. He is so cute. I'm not proud or anything.
He thinks he is big stuff now that he can pull up to a stand pretty much on his own. He babbles all the time- dadadada- and an occassional mumumumum. Of course it is usually when he is crying in his crib those few minutes before he drifts off to sleep. It just breaks my heart! There's nothing like hearing your own child cry mum mum. "mum mum please .... rescue me... " I have had to just say to myself- go take a shower or do something to occupy my brain- so I can be tough mommy and survive those 4 minutes of sweet sadness. I know it is good for him - he is really starting to get the hang of putting himself to sleep. Thank goodness!
Well, I must say- I'll be shocked if anyone still checks up on our blog- since we have been so slack. But here are a few new pics from my St. Patty's day (my bday party):) what fun!
