Miles Does the Unthinkable!

When Miles turned 8 months old we realized that our electricity bills were sky-rocketing because of blow-drying his hair after baths. The only way to solve this problem was to get him a haircut. We didn't time the cut very well (he was ready for a nap but when we stopped by the shop for an appointment they could squeeze him in so we did it when he was a bit grumpy) but he seems very happy with his classy new look. And what to do you know, he's starting to look a bit more like his dad....

The Great Outdoors

We took our first big road trip this weekend as we headed to Yosemite with aunts Liem and Van, uncle Thai, grandma, and of course cousin Nicholas. Van's friend Peggy and her daughter Chandra also met us for some quality outdoors time. Sure, daddy's idea of the outdoors meant only 9 channels but we were able to do some good hiking around the park. And the best part? The only bears nearby were my teddy bears!

Dog Days of August

OK, it's been a while since I checked in. And a lot is going on. Here are some highlights...

I'm really digging solids. Forget oatmeal, I'm already digging into apples, pears, peas, and other pre-made baby food. Sign me up for eating contests!

I'm starting to crawl! Sure, it's a struggle where I lean to one side, lean to the other, then slowly move across the floor. But it's a start.

I'm starting to get my first teeth. I think I'm handling it well, not to mention that I handled my first cold awfully well.

And finally, I'm getting ready for my first big road trip. Yosemite this weekend! I'm a big teddy bear fan, but hope I avoid the real thing.
