Chilling in my saucer

Recently, Miller has grown increasingly bored of his baby Papasan swing. He does not look amused whenever we put him in it. Don't get me wrong, that swing was our lifesaver in the beginning. We couldn't live without it. Each new stage brings different toys. Landon worked hard on Sunday putting together Miller's new exersaucer. It had TONS of little pieces. We packed up the swing and stored it away for future use.

Miller has had practice sitting in grandmama's exersaucer, so we knew he would be thrilled when he learned he had one at home too! He loves to rotate around and explore all the little interactive toys. He shrieks and shrills with excitement..it's too cute to watch!

Now, he will hop from the floor to the jumpster and back to the exersaucer. It's a play gym over here!

Found my feet!

Over the last few weeks, Miller has found his toes and has fallen in love with them. He loves to hold them at every opportunity he has on the floor. We love to watch him when he first wakes up in the morning on his video monitor. Miller makes so many happy sounds and just plays with his little feet. It's his new form of entertainment. Today, he discovered that his toes can go in his mouth. Somehow I knew that he would figure out this stunt....everything finds his mouth!

It's official..Landon replaces Michael Vick

ah...just kiddin..too bad they aren't shaking hands. We were hoping the picture that Landon took with Arthur Blank would look like he just signed with the Falcons.

We enjoyed celebrating Allison and Tim's wedding on Saturday night. The wedding was on the most perfect of days with a touch of fall in the air. Alli and Tim made such a beautiful bride and groom.
The bride is a high school friend who happens to nanny for Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons.
The reception was at the Arthur Blank foundation in Buckhead. It was just gorgeous with outdoor gardens & architecture right in the heart of the city. The reception was soo much fun....a much needed reunion with old friends.
At the reception, Landon and my dad toured Arthur's office, library, indoor golf range, and workout room...they were in heaven!! It was one of the most amazing wedding reception sites we have been to.
Congratulation Alli and Tim..welcome to married life!

Labor Day Trip

What a wonderful trip we had to Arizona over Labor Day. We traveled to Arizona for a little getaway last weekend to celebrate in the marriage of Landon's cousin Roland. It was our first time away from little Miller for an extended time.

On Friday, we flew into Phoenix and stayed with Landon's friend from high school and his wife Cori. They were wonderful hosts and showed us their "oh so fun" life living in downtown Phoenix. We enjoyed having dinner with them and even took in a Diamondbacks game. Jer even let us take a ride on his "scoot"!

Saturday morning Landon and I drove a little ways north to the Grand Canyon. This has been something that I have wanted to do for awhile, so I was excited that we had the opportunity. Pictures don't even do it justice...it's magnificent! Landon talked me into taking many "daring" photos beyond the canyon's fences. Let's just say I had some sweaty palms:)

On Sunday, We enjoyed Roland and Sarah's wedding in Flagstaff. The setting was so picturesque among Aspen trees and the mountains in the background. The weather was a beautiful 75 degrees. Who knew Arizona had so many climate changes and landscapes?

We had a wonderful time as a couple, but I was definitely ready to kiss Miller's sweet cheeks again!

Baby Dedication

Here are some photos of Miller's baby dedication....What a special time for our family!
Check out all of them under Miller's 4 month photo album at the link to the left. We can't believe he will be 5 months old next week!

Favorite Toy

Miller has a new favorite butterfly toy. He reaches and grabs for it & of course....loves to nibble on it too! It makes a loud crinkly sound which holds his interest. Thank you Miss Heather and Meg for such a neat little toy!
Grandmama practices making him reach for toys each day. She has a little floor time with Miller each day to help him "work out". Miller is just loving his time with Poppy and Grandmama. What a blessing they have been to our family to take such time to invest in Miller's life.

Fun at Gymboree

Miller enjoyed his tummy time at Gymboree today. He had a fun time with Jack and Nathan. He is getting stronger each time we go. The boys love playing with the toys on the mirror. It's neat to watch them look at their reflection staring back at them! Of course they love to drool all over the mirror too. They're having a grand time...mommies too!
