We went to Hattisburg to visit our good friends Randi and Jason and to watch the Alabama / Tennessee game. What a stressful game! Alabama won because they blocked a field goal in the last second of a game! Talk about almost having a heart attack at the thought of losing our chance at a national championship to the hated Tennessee! Here is Miles with Jason and Randi, already in his jams so he could sleep in the car on our way home!
Steven and I both turned the big 3-0 in October. My birthday was on the 26th and Steven's was on the 27th. Steven and I were able to escape for a date night on my birthday while Grammy came over to babysit. Our "hot" date consisted of going to Sams, Krogers, and dinner at Bonefish! Woo-hoo, living on the wild side! I'm kidding. It was a lot of fun to get to spend some alone time with my awesome husband. Bonefish was delicious, thanks to my sister for the gift card!
For Steven's birthday, we went and ate Mexican food with friends. I planned it all before telling Steven and he was immediately nervous that he was going to have to wear the big sombraro and be sung to... I would NEVER do that...
We also had a family celebration for both of our birthdays at the same time on Wednesday at Steven's parents house!
October also meant Halloween! I had so much fun dressing Miles in a different Halloween-themed outfit every day and sending him to school. He even wore his costume on Friday! On Halloween day, I took him to my friend Susan's house for a little Baby Halloween Party with all of his little baby buddies. There was a lobster, a spider, a doctor, a lion, and a pig. They were all so cute! Unfortunatley, Miles and I were extremely late and missed the photo!
That night, Miles got back in his costume to sit on the front porch and hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. This was our first Halloween in our new house and I was amazed at the number of kids we had! There were probably close to 100! They would come up in herds on the back of hayrides! So cute! Miles had a ball looking at all of the costumes and smiling at all of the kids.
A few updates on Miles - I think he is cutting another tooth. He may even be cutting two at the same time like he did last time. I can definitley see the upper right tooth coming in, but he keeps licking the upper middle. He has been really fussy and cried himself to sleep last night, even with tylenol, his mommy, and a vibrating teething ring. Poor Baby.
He is doing well sitting up, and I swear he now says "Hey". Nobody believes me even though he has said it several times including on video... I wish I knew how to upload videos to Blogger from my Iphone! (Does anyone know?)
He also is beginning to not want to go to everyone like he has always done in the past. You can definitley see a difference between people he knows and doesn't know. He reaches for me now and will look for Steven if I say, "Where's Daddy?"
He can also drink from a sippy cup and hold his own bottle, although we, of course, help him. He is eating stage 2 foods and loves to eat. I just hope he is gaining enough weight! He is as active as a baby who can't crawl yet can be... log rolling across the floor, bouncing in his jumpers, and climbing all over me when I hold him. He burns a million calories a day!
He is a precious little thing. I can't believe it is November already! November will bring his 7-month birthday, Thanksgiving, and an entire week home with Mommy! I can't wait!
