Dear Miles (Nine Months)

Dear Miles,

Happy nine months on the outside, buddy! You've been out almost as long as you were in! I think this has been your busiest month of "firsts" so far. You are becoming quite the busy little guy, and you're just becoming more fun each day. We have so loved watching you grow and continue developing. We have heard many comments recently about how much you've changed in the last nine months, from a little dark-haired, red-toned baby, to a bleach-blonde, fair-skinned little boy. Time is just flying by and we are so blessed by your presence in our lives. Here are some of this month's highlights!

[Miles]tones:

-You popped your first tooth on June 9th (Grandma and Grandpa's wedding anniversary)!
-You got your first haircut, carefully crafted by great aunt Marilyn.
-You started crawling, and now nothing is safe! Riggins is convinced you're out to get him, and let's face it, you are.
-You are consistently pulling yourself up onto your knees when you're holding onto something.
-You love to stand up, bearing your full weight, while holding onto someone's hands for balance.
-You had your first swim in Papa and Grammy's pool on Father's Day! You loved to splash, but you couldn't quite understand why I wouldn't just let go of you and let you do your thing like in the bath.
-You had your first few rides in your new bike seat, which you love!
-You learned how to give a high-five, which you think is hilarious! You are also trying so hard to clap your hands, but haven't quite got the coordination for that yet.
-You had your first Baby and Me story time at the library and I think you laughed through pretty much the whole thing.
-You are now 22.5 pounds (95th percentile) and 30 inches tall (97th percentile).

Sweet boy, you have far exceeded our expectations, and we love you so very much. We still pray consistently for you to love Jesus from an early age, and surrender your life to Him. We can't wait to see what He will do through you. We love you so much, Milan.

With all my heart,
Mama
