Daddy Daughter Dance

Macie was over the moon excited when she brought home the flyer about the Daddy Daughter Dance! She could not even stand it! She seriously counted down the days..and hours! We went dress shopping for the perfect dress. Kinda like Prom, really! But, little girls dresses are a heck of a lot cheaper than actual Prom dresses...I'm kind of dreading those years!

Adam wanted to buy her a corsage, but they were a little pricey. And because we're cheap, we decided to just make one! It didn't turn out to terrible, really. However, it didn't last all night...but oh well!

They both had the best time! Macie loved having her Daddy all to her self. She shows us how her and daddy both danced...and I'm kinda glad I wasn't there! ;-) 

Little Mama

Macie is the best helper. She is really the only one that really knows how to hold a baby and enjoys doing it...well, as long as he isn't wet or poopy! She loves to just cuddle with him on the couch and watch tv or just hold him. She's my go to girl when I have to go to the bathroom or take a shower, she just sits and loves him. It's nice having a child who is old enough and responsible enough to watch a newborn! Noah loves him and likes to hold him, but his legos are a little more entertaining. But, Miles will soon grow out of the "boring" newborn stage, which I love, and be a little more interactive, which Noah will love! For now, though, I'll take advantage of my Little Mama Macie!

Blessed

I know, I know, he's only 12 days old. But, we blessed Miles on Sunday. My mom and dad came to see Miles for the first time, and Carol came as well. It seemed perfect to bless him then, and we don't usually wait long anyway! The first Fast Sunday after the baby is born is usually when we bless them, no matter what! And Miles was no exception. I did, however, think he was going to be born a lot earlier in January! I had bought his blessing outfit in a newborn size months ago, thinking he was going to be early and small. I had no idea that he would be late and NINE POUNDS at birth! But just in case, I did buy the 3 month size outfit, too. And, he wore the 3 month size...at 12 days old! He's my chunker for sure! 

It was really nice to have my parents there and Adam's mom. Adam's cousin, Jared, who lives in Santa Monica came as well, along with his friend Adam, who he has known for years and who lives in Redondo Beach. Adam gave a wonderful blessing to Baby Miles, as usual. And I was able to listen to every word. There was no lapel microphone to malfunction or no screaming two year old to ruin the blessing! ;-) 

 I am very blessed to be Miles' mom. He is a perfect addition to our family. In his short time here with us, I can't even imagine life without him.
