Four Months And Counting!

A couple of weeks ago, Myles had his 4-month checkup at the doctor. It was a little difficult, as it was the second stage of his immunizations (it's amazing how big those needles look next to such a little body), but it's always exciting to find out about Myles's status in his progression towards full-sizedness.

For a little visual status, here's what he looked like at 1 week:

...and here's what he looked like 4 months later:

As you can see, he's grown a bit. His numbers reflected this obvious change, putting him at 17lbs 1/2oz and 26 3/4 inches.
As I type this, he's wearing a 12-month old's shirt, and I'm really hoping he slows down some time 'cuz they don't make child seats for 200-pounders.
At least if I don't make it to the gym, I can still get a workout after a few minutes of the "UP!" game.

He's getting to be a real music-lover now, too. He smiles and "sings" along with me as I sing him "Folsom Prison Blues" on the changing table, and last night he was hopping along to some jazz with Miles the Crocodile.

It's been motivating for me to bust out the guitar and try to learn some new and entertaining songs for him too. And he doesn't even mind when I mess up, since I've never really played anything that wasn't power chords on a stratocaster before.



This last week, we had some visitors. Allyson's Goddaughter, Ella, and her mother, Dr. Evelyn were up celebrating a recently completed dissertation.


And now that spring is in the air, Myles has been getting out more and more:

Workin' in the yard with Momma.

Walkin' the dogs with Daddy.
