Snip, Snip
Miles' first haircut was pretty traumatic. Kudos to the people who work at Cookie Cutters - despite Miles' all-out tantrum, he was able to get a pretty good cut. This was way back at the beginning of April, so we'll be needing to made the trip again soon...eek. I'm not quite so sure about this...

Showing Baby Girl Cuz
I feel pretty dumb. I lost my camera cord so I haven't uploaded any photos...then my coworker told me you can take the memory card right out of the camera and stick it in the computer. Uh, duh. So there will be a lot of catching up over the next few posts.
Tonight's post is the oldest of pictures (Aunt Kari's April Shower) and the newest of pictures (yesterday's shower in Lexington).
The first shower was in Port Clinton, and we had lots of fun visiting with family and friends. Miles started out chipper while hanging out with Great Grandma Hornsby.
He was not exactly thrilled to be the only boy amidst all the crazy ladies. His refusal to take a nap beforehand (imagine that...) didn't really help his mood.
He finally passed out on Nana in the middle of the gift-opening extravaganza.
Yesterday's shower was a whole different story. Miles was Mr. Personality, entertaining everyone with his usual antics.
Miles waved buh-bye, walked (with help), and showed everyone what happens when you say "Oh no!" (imagine Macauley Culkin in "Home Alone"). However, he wasn't too pumped when picture time came...
...but he still had lots of fun with the guest of honor, his Aunt KK!

Not a Happy Boy
I thought it was kind of funny recently when a Facebook friend from high school commented on how Miles was always smiling in all his pictures. She wondered whether he really was that smiley, or if I was just pitching all the grumpy ones. It made me think, and there is some truth to that. So, since I don't have many new pictures to post anyway (stupid camera cord!), here's a crabby trip down memory lane.
Miles' First Haircut
Miles' First Passport Photo (Yikes!)
Seriously...does Daddy really not know how bad he is at piano?
Enough with the pictures!!
The Colts game is on, but Nana and Papa don't get it on TV at their house!
Literally?!? You people put me in a monkey suit?!?
The last reason why Miles hasn't been so smiley lately is because Aunt KK is back in the hospital with an infection she got from her first trip last week. Baby Girl Cousin is still super strong and is doing just fine, but Aunt Kari is not feeling the best. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Baby Convention
I'm typing this left-handed - Baby Boy sleeping on my right arm, Daddy asleep on the couch. I know it's been a while though, so somethin' is better than nothin'.
We had a lovely trip Up North to visit with Miles' friends Janelle and Will.
Miles was apparently feeling sanctimonious this trip, blessing Will...Devil Be Gone!
Miles taught Janelle how to point...at everything. Janelle reciprocated by showing Miles how easy it was to crawl.
His competitive spirit must have kicked in, because he started crawling a few weeks ago and is an old pro now. Video to come...we left the camera cord at Nana and Papa's, so pictures will be sparse for a few weeks. We had a great time at Baby Girl Cousin's shower...but no pics yet. Here's one with Pops before the fun began:
Baby Girl gave us a scare this week. Even though we're all excited to meet her, we're so relieved she decided to stay put for a while. Feel better soon, Aunt KK!
Wow - Boys are still sleeping and I got this far! Now, if I only had feeling in my right hand.
Next chapter...long overdue picture of Miles' passport and his certificate for getting his first haircut. Yes, he screamed the whole time.

Evil Chipmunk (Dunt dun dun!!)
So, you guys have seen the Evil Chipmunk floating around the internet, right?
Well, we have our own version...the slightly less-evil, slightly-surprised little chipmunk named Miles:
The video was taken at our somewhat-failed attempt at a nice family picnic at Fort Ben State Park on Tuesday. It was supposed to be a balmy 72 degrees that day, so we packed a picnic lunch. With the high winds and cloudy conditions, it didn't quite turn out to be the idyllic lunch on the lake, as you can tell by Miles' two jackets. We enjoyed it nevertheless!
Of course, the beauty of Daddy's spring break being in March is NCAA basketball. Miles has been practicing...
We went downtown today to Lucas Oil stadium to watch the teams' practices. We got to see Kansas and Louisville (Mommy's 2009 champion pick in the brackets, BTW). It was Miles' first trip to the stadium, so he had to wear his Colts gear:
He liked being 6 rows away from the basketball action, but he LOVED watching the 6-story high jumbotron even more. If he turns out to be a Kansas fan, it's because the image of the 70-foot high jayhawk was burned in his brains forever.
The best and worst picture of the week will have to wait. One of our exciting spring break activities was finally renewing our passports. We figured we might as well get Miles one, since Nana has already promised him a Disney cruise, and, apparently, you have to have a passport to even get to Terre Haute soon. I'll scan it in for the next post...it's pretty scary. I know you're jealous of all the fun we've having during spring break - we even got an oil change that day too!

Picture Pages
I finally uploaded the pictures to our old computer. There are a lot of them, so, as Dr. Phil says, let's do it!
After church...Miles had a little blessing service, so we gussied him up a bit more than usual. He got to hang out at the front of the church with his new friend Jonah and some other babies. Of course, Miles was chatting it up the entire time and even cracked up Pastor Mitch a little!
Hanging out with Daddy...and working on pulling himself up! He's getting to be an old pro at standing with help, but he's also working on pulling himself into a standing position. He's been spending the last few days on his knees, so we think he might not skip the crawling stage after all!
Enjoying spring...Miles has joined the throngs of neighbors and kids and dogs and bikes and strollers finally out and about after a long winter. Keno Pup has also enjoyed taking several walks around the block.
Rockin' out...with a "faux-hawk"! One of Miles' "teachers" from day care decided he needed a new look, so this is what he looked like after school one day. Nothin' says Rebel like a blue baby elephant on your shirt!
March Madness...Miles was so pumped for the non-stop basketball games - probably because it's about the only thing I let him watch on TV. However, he got very depressed that his Butler Bulldogs didn't make it past the first round.
Playin' hard with the big boys...we took another trip to the playground in our neighborhood today. We just can't tear Miles away from his favorite fire truck ride! It's the perfect spot for watching the big kids, too. We're still working on the swings - he likes it better each time, but still gets a "Lord, help me" look on his face after a few minutes.
Jason is on spring break, I took the week off from work, and Miles is skipping school for a week at day care, so we have a nice family break planned. No major plans, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures and stories in the next entry!
