He's growing and growing and growing...

Miles visited the Amazing Newborn Clinic today -- you know, the clinic where only amazing new babies are allowed and the rest are sent home (see Jan. 22 post). Miles isn't exactly "new" compared to other babies, but he's close enough and amazing enough, so they let him come inside. Anyway, good news: he's growing! Did you have your doubts? Well push them aside, 'cause this baby is bigger and badder than 90% of the other babies his age when it comes to both weight AND length!

Miles tipped the scale at a whopping 18 lbs 11 oz and measured 27 inches long. He's almost as "big" as his cousin Hannah, who seems so small... How does that work?!
She doesn't stand a chance when she comes to MN for grandpa's retirement party in June. Sorry, cute little chicken!

Here's what Miles has been up to lately...

On Sunday his baby friends came over to play. Here are just a few - Reid, Kennedi, and Claire.

Since Claire is too small for her jumpy thingy, she's loaning it to Miles. Shortly after this picture was taken, the seat fell through the contraption and he landed on the floor (you can see that it looks a little funny. Where's the baby?). Then he screamed. Loud. It's all my fault...I didn't put the loop-dee-doos in correctly, so the seat gave out on him. I know, I know. Bad mommy.

Miles wrestles with his daddy every day. He's getting to be pretty good!

Eating. Of course.

Sleeping in his favorite position: belly down and arms tucked underneath. So cozy!
