Miles Goes To a Wedding

We attended the wedding of our friends Joe and Beyth in downtown Portland on Wednesday

Sarah got a new haircut and Miles still has very little hair

Christmas Cookies!

Sarah and Miles are making cookies!

Are you sure that's enough?

Paul and Miles apply green frosting to the cookies!

Miles Has A Few Things To Say

"I love my sweater that Mommy made me, and I love natural wooden toys! They are so nice to chew on!"

Out for a Christmas Stroll

Sarah and Miles pose with our Bumbleride stroller in front of our apartment.

Miles may not look excited, but he actually is very happy with his stroller.

The Christmas tree at Jamison Square

Hey! We're over here!

Miles Rolls Over!

Miles has been rolling over for a couple of weeks now, but I think this is the first time it has been captured on video. It only takes him a second, but once he's on his tummy he doesn't know what to do and starts crying! Where did the ceiling go! He'll be scooting along in no time!

Floor Time

Dark Eyed Miles

Miles shows he can hold his head up pretty well!

Here Miles shows off his natural wood teething ring, which we prefer he use rather than plastics.

He isn't officially teething yet, but this is fun, no?

New Camera for Baby

Mom! Mom! We got a new camera! I was beginning to forget what I looked like!

Miles loves to play with blankets near his face. He usually licks them.

"I am not amused," said the out-of-focus cat.

"Silly cat," returned Miles. "Soon I'll be mobile and I'll come over there and pet you"

Miles and Paul get ready to go outside for a walk with the front loader.

Make some noise!

Happy November!

 

Miles is holding a rattle

This is my island!

Start them Early

Paul and Miles are drinking coffee at Cloud Seven Cafe on Jamison Square.
If Miles would drink his own coffee, then Paul could reach the cup on the table.

Miles! You look like you've had coffee....hmm.

"Smiling is great fun," Miles smiled.

I can look at you and laugh

Because you look funny

After all, you're always making funny faces at me

Miles with Daddy and Mommy. - Someday Miles will read Dwell.

"There be peaches yonder!" shouted Miles.

Hark! What peaches be these?

They be from Miles's first visit to the Portland Farmer's Market!

The tomatoes looked particularly...red.

More fun things that grow on vines...

And less interesting things that grow under the ground.

Today (Sept. 23) Miles took his first ride on the MAX Red Line from Kings Hill to Galleria!

"Yay Flowers," thought Miles apathetically.

The roses are still blooming in Portland!

Miles makes his first journey up to the Rose Garden at Washington Park with Daddy and Mommy

It was a nice, misty, wet afternoon...

But who cares about flowers anyway?

Mr. Miles is 4 Weeks Old

Kurth Family - Everyone smile!

Miles with Uncle Sam

Ahhh! Lady bugs!

Daddy, why are you taking so many photos of me? I haven't changed since the last one!

Just waiting on the curb...

Sleeping

Not sleeping

Miles and Daddy

Sir Miles of Portland

These are my hands!

I like to eat them!

Miles with Daddy

Why do you make me wear this hat?

First Week

I'm so cute!

Feed me Mom!

My diaper is huge!

Hey good-look'n.
