Did I have any part in this???

Yes this is a cute baby, but no it is not Miller; it's his daddy! I came across this baby picture of Bryant today and could not believe how much it looks like Miller. I think my only contribution was carrying him for nine months :)

A few firsts...

Over the last few weeks we've had a few "first" experiences with Miller. I've learned to go ahead and add about thirty minutes to anything I try to plan for. :) We are loving being parents and enjoy Miller so much. He is so absolutely precious and we can't get enough of him!!

Our first night out. We went to Craw Mama's with Will and Kendall. Miller slept the whole time!
Waaaaaaar Eagle! Ready for the Auburn game. (We watched on TV of course).
I had to convince Bryant that this isn't an "Auburn" outfit. It just happens to be orange and blue. :)

After Miller's first time to church! We weren't ready in time to take pictures before we went and by the time we got back Miller had a bit of a blowout (hence the burp clothe underneath him :)

The rest of the pictures below are just some that we've taken over the past few weeks. He is getting so big!

One Month Old

I can't believe Miller is already one month old! Here are a few pics from his one month "birthday" and the days surrounding it. The first picture is of Miller at One Month. In the one below it he was just a few days old. He's already changed so much!
On another note, my appointment went well on Monday. I am on the road to recovery :) Thanks for your prayers!

Home and Healing

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! For those of you who don't know, I have been battling what we thought was Mastitis for the past three weeks. After it wasn't responding to two antibiotics my doctor admitted me to the hospital last Friday. It turns out that I had a staph infection (MRSA) and two abscesses. I stayed hospitalized until Thursday of the next week. I am feeling much better but still not completely better. I go back to see the surgeon tomorrow so please pray that things are looking good! I'm nervous about going because I really don't want him to have to do any more procedures - it was extremely painful the last time! We continue to be thankful that Miller is healthy. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for him also. My dad took some really cute pictures of Miller while they took care of him my first night at the hospital. Hopefully I'll get those from him soon and I'll post a few.

Rolling Over!!

I know - I can't believe it either! He is only 16 days old! Today Miller was playing on his play gym and I decided to see how he would do with a little tummy time. He fussed a little at first but then seemed to enjoy it. All of a sudden he rolled over! I freaked out! So, I calmed myself and decided it was probably just a random coincidence that wouldn't be repeated. I flipped him back on his tummy. As soon as I did he rolled right back over! He did it four times! I ran to get the video camera and I did get it on tape, but I think he was getting very tired of performing for Mommy so he's a little fussy and it's not the best video. It was so amazing though! I'm looking forward to so many more exciting "firsts"!

First Bath

We gave Miller his first bath today! I wish I would have taken a picture of him when we first put him in the tub; it was so cute! He seemed to like it once he got over the initial shock. We also went to the pediatrician today and got good news. Miller has regained his birth weight (back up to 7 pounds) and he even grew 1/2 inch in length. Everything else they checked was great too! We are so thankful to the Lord for his health!Hanging out with Daddy and Oreo while Mommy got the bath ready.



So clean and snuggly!

Settling In

My sweet baby boy is 2 weeks old today! We've been getting settled at home but we're still up most nights. :) I keep reminding myself that this is only a season and that I'm sure I'll miss this stage when it's over. Here are a few pics from Miller's first two weeks!



This is how my sweet mom spent many of her nights here as we tried to get Miller to adjust his days and nights. We still haven't accomplished that! Bryant and I have started doing everything we can to keep him awake during his wake times and we're about to get tough on bedtime! (I hope we can do it anyway - it is so sad to hear him cry!!) He goes right down for his naps during the day but wants company at night. :) If anyone has any tips on getting this straightened out let me know!
Miller's first sponge bath. He still has a little bit of a scab where his cord was so we're waiting to try a tub bath.

Miller loves his new swing! Thank you, Aunt Kate!
I could bite those sweet feet!!
My mom came to stay with us for about a week and a half. She was such a huge help! Thanks, Mom! We were so sad to see you leave!
