The good news is that at least Miles is on the mend, if you don't count his random rashes from food allergies. Big surprise - my kid is allergic to random crap. So far, it seems to be crap that grows in the ground - carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. I'm not worried though - Miles' Uncle Craig seemed to have survived on cereal alone for the first 25 years of his life, so I'm thinking Miles can do the same.
I took Miles to the doctor for his second dose of flu shot on Tuesday - he was such a brave boy and only whimpered for a few seconds! Guess when you're used to getting 4 shots at a time, one little prick is nothin'. The big news is that Miles is 20 pounds, 4 ounces now! He gained two pounds in a month! Apparently his unvaried diet isn't stopping him on his way to porkerhood.
So, here's a quick recap of what we've been doing for past few weeks when we weren't sick:
The Colts lost in the playoffs. Miles cried and cried and cried. Oops, I meant Daddy cried and cried and cried.
We celebrated the New Year with grand flourish. We had a family dinner at Applebee's, then Jason and I spent New Year's Eve playing one crazy game of Scrabble after Miles went to bed. New Year's Day itself was spent at Big Lots and Wal-Mart. Somebody reign us in - we can only live this party lifestyle for so long before someone gets hurt!
Miles attended his first Butler basketball game. He could not stop staring - it was a bit faster-paced than Aunt Ashley's 11-year old girls' basketball game. The bulldog mascot scared him a little - not really a big fan. He'll learn!
Miles practiced his standing. Look at what a big boy he is!
So that's the excitement that is our life. We can't wait to make a road trip this weekend to see the Kolb family in Lexington!

I love Miles' face in the bulldog picture. So cute! I am sorry you have all been sick. I hope Miles doesn't bring any germs down to his cousin. Can't wait to see you this weekend!
Love,

Wait a second.... Miles is only 7 months old! Shay is also 20 pounds and 4 ounces (as of her doctor's appointment last weekend), and she's 13 months! Even if your boy is allergic to stuff, I think you're still doing a good job feeding him. :)
We have that same Happy New Year shirt but in the pink colors! Your kid is super cute by the way. I can't decide who he looks like. I really think he is the perfect mix of the two of you! :)
I can't believe he's standing there! It's only been less than a month since I've seen him! On my way little buddy! Don't teach your little cousin any bad stuff this weekend!
Love
