It's official, Miles got his first tooth on Saturday! He had a really rough week so I knew it was coming soon. I have a feeling that another will make an appearance later this week.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the past month of December was quite busy for Collin and I due our friends James and Quinn getting married. We were both in the wedding on Dec 12th at the Union Depot in St. Paul. It was such a beautiful wedding. Here are a couple of pictures.
Quinn was absolutely stunning in her dress and James was handsome in his tuxedo.
There are many great pictures from that night but here are just a few.
Maycie (2)-- Her vocabulary is constantly amazing us. The other day, she saw Collin's cold pills and said" Daddy's medicine. Daddy has bad cough." She can sing her ABC's all the way through and even has the ending too! Her counting is also getting better. Maycie also loves to play all day long with her new toys and books from Christmas. She can get sassy at times but it's really funny when she tells me to be quiet when I sing songs...is my voice really that bad? Maycie has regressed a little in the potty training department. She was really great at telling me when she had to go to the bathroom during the day and staying dry all day (except nap times) but with the holidays, she's back in pull-ups. Now that the holidays are over we are working on it again. She loves to get "Ms" (M&Ms) for going to the bathroom which makes me think that it won't be long before we are back in the right direction. Maycie also interested in spelling lately. She thinks it's great when I spell out her name.
Miles (6 months)--He is officially crawling and sitting up on his own. He started to sit up on his own in early December and sort of crawling the week before Christmas. Miles would get up on his knees and hands and rock back & forth, then lunge towards something. At Christmas Miles figured out that if he moved a knee and a hand together then he would move, even if it was backwards. Now he is moving in the army crawl sort of way when he really wants something fast but other than that he is using his hands and knees together. We also think that he is getting his first tooth. His poor gums have been red and swollen for a week now but today I saw a little white bump. He's such a big, happy, giggly baby!!! We can't get enough of him.
Miles has his 6 month check up in a week so we'll see if he has passed Maycie in weight. Girls get ready for the results to see who the winner is. (My girlfriends and I have placed a friendly wager on it.)
New Year's Eve this year was really special. Our friends, Ryan and Jessica got ENGAGED!! YEAH!! Congrats!!! We can't wait for the wedding!
One of the pictures that I wanted to send out for Christmas cards--I never made that happen. Maybe next year!
