Wow! 2 Weeks Old!

I can hardly believe that tomorrow Miles will be 2 weeks old! I keep thinking it's that 2nd week in March when he was born.
These past few weeks have been such a relief. I had been so nervous about bringing a new baby home and adjusting to this new way of life, but so far, it has been easier than I anticipated. Of course, that's not to say it's been a piece of cake--Ella is definitely having to adjust to sharing mommy and I have had to adjust to getting up every 3 hours to feed the litttle monster--but I haven't been nearly as tired as I was when I was pregnant and now that my body is getting back to normal I am feeling like I can definitely handle my soon to be 3 year old and the cutest newborn on the planet!

Daddy time!

Ella's reaction to her new brother has been pretty good. Leading up to his arrival she really wasn't interested in any of the books that talked about new siblings, and so it was just up to me and Peter to talk about it as much as we could. There have been moments when she didn't want to wait for me to be done doing something with Miles before helping or playing with her, but that seemed to be just in the first week. She is already responding better when I explain that I need to finish feeding him or changing him before I can do whatever she is asking. She also seems to be a little more defiant, but that could just seem like that to me because I am home with her all the time now, rather than working.
But she loves when Miles is awake so she can talk to him. She likes to hold him and she likes to pick out his clothes.


He looks really Asian in this picture! It's kind of deceiving because this kid has light brown hair and blue eyes (that better change into hazel-like mine!). So right now he doesn't really look like our baby! I have no idea where the light brown hair is from!

Such a good helper

On our way to the store.

I had to hurry and get a picture of him in this dinosaur outfit. I had bought this for Aaron when he was born and I just loved it. My sis sent it back to me. But for some reason he pees through it every time he has it on! He hasn't made it a whole day in this yet, and I've tried three times!


It's been a whirlwind these past few days, but I am loving every moment. Miles is a very good baby and such a joy to just sit and look at. I am looking forward to spending the next few months off with my kids! More updates to come!!
