Growing up so fast!
Yesterday morning, I had a long overdue brunch with my mommy's group. All the moms are doing great and all Miles' little girlfriends are growing up so fast. Malia is a champ at sitting up, Jenny is all about all types of solid food (except meat), and Eliana gets the award for most changed since our last visit. Miles is still enamored with all the girls, and they seem to take to him kindly....

Big boy sleeping
Last night, Miles slept 7 -7, and Mom woke up feeling human again. Good sleeping has gone beyond the nighttime, in fact, yesterday's afternoon nap went from 3 - 5:30, and today he napped perfectly all morning and then took a 2:15 - 5:00 nap. I guess his teeth have been feeling good and he is starting to consolidate his naps.
He woke up so happy this morning - he has all sorts of giggly and smiley. Tim held him and every time I called him a "cutie", he laughed hysterically. He found "cutie" equally funny this afternoon. I will try to get a video of it - but if not, you'll have to take my word for the fact that it is the CUTEST thing ever. I never knew how in love with this little man I would become.

Sippy Cups!
On a whim, I gave Miles his first (empty) sippy cup tonight. He held on and put it immediately into his mouth. I was a little surprised at his dexterity, so I put a little milk in it so he "gets" what these things are for!
Labor Days
To celebrate the Labor Day weekend, we did what any family of 3 with 1 working adult would do - we worked!! We actually started the weekend picking out my Miles-gift (thanks honey, for carrying my son for 9 months, being in labor for 21 hours, and pushing for 3...) which is a new watch - which I love. And the fun thing is that every time I look at it, I think of Tim and Miles, which will be great for when I go back to work next week!
On Saturday night, we had dinner with my folks and my brother and his family up in San Francisco. It was quite entertaining as our reservation called for 6 adults, 1 high chair, and space for 2 car seats. We tried to do Miles' bedtime routine before dinner, have him fall asleep in the car, and sleep through dinner. That didn't work. So Miles, as cute as he could be (while being tired and cranky) spent the better part of dinner looking over Tim's shoulder and flirting with the women behind him. As Melissa said, what wouldn't the ladies want - he has gums and can rock his jammies!!
On Sunday and Monday, we went to work. Tim is cleaning up the garage while I was taking our bedroom and closet. I went through all my pre-pregnancy clothes that I had put away. The good news is that I fit most of it, but some of it, not well. My shorter shirts just don't work well with a post-baby stomach!! I am in the process of getting rid of bags of clothing. My goal is to have a place in our closet for all my clothes - bold, I know! I am also trying to attack Tim's side of the closet as he has about 50 pairs of pants, most of which he doesn't wear.
We also picked up our combined birthday present bookshelf from my parents so we have a matching set in the sun room off the kitchen. We spent Monday painting the interior of the shelves and they look great! I am in the process of refilling the shelves, but it is the last of the touches to make the room look great. Since we did it, I have spent a lot of time playing in there with Miles - the room is quickly becoming my favorite room in the house! It lastly needs a window covering for the window and the sliding glass door.

Filling his fathers shoes...
Someday but not today. Think this is such an adorable photo - Lina took this a few weeks back and everytime we look at it we chuckle. Wanted to share this with everyone. Its on our Flickr account, but I felt this was deserving of its own post.
