first swim

Miles took his first swim in the lake over the fourth of July.  He didn't care for it all that much.  Although jumping right in waist deep was a pretty bold step.  He was happy to be in the sun and watch his cousins jump and splash in the lake.  His second attempt at swimming in the lake was out at lake Lida at uncle Lee's cabin.  He was a little more comfortable with the added safety of the floaty tube, but definitely not too thrilled.  One thing he did like was just sitting on the dock steps and splashing his toes.

We had a great time visiting family at the lake over the fourth of July holiday.  Thanks to Dani and Matt for this super cute twins hat!  

book worm

We are starting him early.  He'll be reading by 2 ;) 

baby love

Olive and Miles, together again!  These two light up when they see each other.  This photo sequence captures it perfectly.  They smile, they squeal, then they try to eat each others faces.  Just doing what babies do best!

pals

Mike and Miles are hanging out in our new house.  It feels awesome to be all unpacked and settled in to our home.  Can't wait to make a million memories here. 

6 months

Here are photos from Miles' 6 month photo shoot.  I put him in a pair of vintage overalls that my mother passed on to me.  I believe they used to be my brother Matt's.  This was my best attempt at a pro photography session.  Found some cute green spaces in our backyard, some are a little cheesy but how can you blame me, they are SO cute!
