Big Smiles

It's so fun to watch Miller get bigger and learn new things. About a week ago we started seeing some smiles, but they were so quick that we couldn't seem to capture them with a camera. But in the last couple of days he's been a smiling machine!

We also recently found out that he loves to take a bath! The first couple he seemed a bit unsure what he thought, but lately he'll smile and splash a little.

Things are going well around the house and we have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us. We're flying to Ohio tomorrow to spend the weekend with Dave's family and friends. We'll drive back Sunday with Dave's mom, Anne, who is coming to stay with us for a week. Then, starting next Monday I'm going back to work and Dave is starting his parental leave! Big changes, but we're excited!

Naptime with Daddy!

1 Month!


 

One Month Old

What a month! The time has really flown, it feels like yesterday that we were leaving the hospital and taking little Miller home for the first time. He's growing so fast! As of the last weigh-in he was 9 pounds 12 ounces and 23 inches, but that was about five days ago, so he's even bigger now.

Over the past month we've had lots of visitors, a couple of parties and a lot of fun. Below are some pictures of our time so far.

Finished Nursery

Thanks to a reminder from my good friend Kirsa, I'm finally adding some pictures of the finished (and now functional!) nursery. Miller hasn't started sleeping in his crib yet, we still keep him in a cradle by our bed, but we use the nursery for feedings, diaper and clothing changings and swaddling, so it's getting lots of daily use!

The theme of the nursery is based on a favorite children's book of ours "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. The stanza that's repeated throughout the book is stenciled on the wall above the crib, and we cut out and framed pictures from the book throughout the room.

Enjoy!
