Better late than never...

These pictures were taken of Miles when he was one month old. It took a bit to get the images released from the photographer and to have them made, but I love how they turned out. It was so hard to decide my favorite one, I got them all, lol!

Miles Alexander 2 months!

Happy 2 months Miles Alexander!! I can't believe you're two months old already! You are such a sweet boy, and I think you're finally getting past your colicky stage!! YAY!! Full of smiles and coos, you are just a joy to be around. We're so happy we have you, and that you're such a happy and HEALTHY little boy! You had us worried there for a bit! And now, for the picture overload!

Papa Steve's mom, Mary, made Miles this hat!

He's not to sure about it at first...

He learned to love it quite fast!

We love you Miles!!

Happy 1st Birthday Peej!

Today is Paul Matthew's (AKA Peej) first birthday! Here are a few shots from his special day!

Opening some presents!

Miles relaxing with Ghea

Mmmm, cake!

He was loving it!

And cousin Eli...trying out one of Peej's new toys!

He's outta here!

Happy Birthday Peej! We love you and can't believe how fast this year has gone by! We look forward to all the trouble you and your cousins will be getting into!

Miles' Baptism Day!!

Today we baptised Miles Alexander! He did so great, and actually slept through most of it! He had me a little worried when he screamed his head off the whole time I gave him his bath this morning!

Proud Mommy and Daddy

Miles' Godparents, Callista and Steve!

We're so blessed they are a part of our children's' lives!

Our Family!

Miles and Tata

Here's the man of the hour himself!

Back into comfy clothes, and fast asleep with Kiki

Meanwhile, Eli is getting dirty outside with Avery...

as you can see, she's hiding from the paparazzi!

HUGS....kind of, lol!

Miles and Aunt Shirley

And one exhausted little man after his big day!

We're so thankful that we had so many family and friends surrounding us on this special day! Tata, Grammy and all the aunts did so much cooking, and everything was delicious! A special thanks to Callista and Steve, who will always be a big part of all of our lives, especially for Mr. Miles! We love you all!

Brotherly love...

It all starts with a sweet kiss...

a quick squeeze of the head...
then a smack...

Miles is starting to get mad...

and being smothered is the final straw...

He's had it!

Poor little Miles. He was put through the ringer today! He's going to be one tough little guy once Eli gets through with him!

Are you talkin' to me?

This is the face we get after we ask for an apology before getting out of "time out." He acts like we're the ones who need the time out!

And he's back to normal!

Miles slept through the latest tantrum

And a couple more of Mr. Miles!

So sad...pouty lip!

My sweet little man!

Smiles from Mr. Miles!

Miles is such a smiley baby...as long as he's being held of course! Here are a few shots of the little man!

Give a boy a magazine...

And he rips it to a million pieces:

And then he buries his brother in the pieces...

Poor Miles...he's a such a trooper!

Happy Birthday Tata! (Round 2)

We went to Cheesecake Factory tonight with Diane, Joe, Avery, Hayden, and of course the birthday girl Hiyam! We had a great dinner, and the kids did very well, especially considering we took our sweet time!

Eli chillin' in the car on the way there!

Eli and Avery...Eli was too distracted by food to look at the camera!

Nothing like a bowl of ranch dressing!
The Kahl's!

Our happy family!

And of course, Happy Birthday Tata! We all love you and appreciate all you do for us!

Oh...and that photo shoot that was so crazy, was well worth it! Hiyam loved it, along with the framed poem and each of the kids hand/footprints. We'd do it again in a heartbeat...we'd just have to find a different studio to do it in! ;)
