Grandpa Dave Was in Town!

Miles sends Grandpa Dave a BIG thank you for coming over to play this morning. Mommy had a meeting to attend for work, and it wasn't exactly the kind that would entertain a baby. So Grandpa Dave served as the Mileysitter. The photo below makes me nervous about sending this kid to daycare in 4 short weeks...but Grandpa said Miles only cried for a little while, and was otherwise happy and playful. Sure, Grandpa. Whatever you want us to believe.Grandpa brought Miles the "Favorite Storybook Ever" by Richard Scarry. They read "Mr. Fixit" together, which apparently is Miles' favorite short story. Or maybe it's Grandpa Dave's favorite short story?! In any case, we're excited to have this book and will no doubt read through the whole thing by the end of the week. Miles LOVES books!

In other news, Miles went to the Amazing Newborn Clinic today (only the amazing ones are allowed inside. All the other newborns have to go back home.). He weighs 11 lbs 13 oz today, which means he gained "only" 3 ounces since last Monday. He seemed pretty disappointed, and I don't blame him. With all the effort he puts in to eating, he deserves to gain more than a measly 3 ounces. Mommy and daddy, on the other hand, are a bit relieved that he gained only 3 ounces. We were afraid we'd have to install some sort of support system under his crib to help hold him up at night. Sounds like that won't need to happen for at least a few more weeks now. Whew!

Was this at the beginning or the end of Grandpa's shift? Miles might be trying to tell us something.

Speaking on behalf of grandpa solidarity, I believe everything Grandpa Dave said. Good work, Dave!

How about a book about #4 of the Packers?

Nice job pretending you'd rather be with your mommy than your grandpa, Miley! You're learning the ropes very quickly!

Miles really was a very nice little boy that morning... He only started to cry when he knew I was going to be leaving...!!
