Fun in the bath

Miller has recently decided that taking a bath is the funnest thing ever. Here he is geeking out this morning...

Classy Move

This is Miller's new trick, where he drops food in his bib, then just tips it back and dumps it in his mouth. He then proceeds to laugh at himself, because he is so amused.

I love it.

Cruising Boy

Miller made it all the way down the hallway with just a little help from his lion friend. Next up...walking!

Baby Bruise Head

So, we got Miller's first birthday portraits done this last weekend, and as you can see, he has a huge bruise on his head in all of them, courtesy of a spill he took at daycare. I guess that just means we will always remember how BUSY he was at a year old!

He loved playing with these - and sticking them in his mouth, of course.

It's a baby in a box.

This is what Miller looked like when we put his Easter outfit on. Not pleased.

First B-Day Stats

This is Miller on his way home from his very traumatic first b-day check-up. He had to have five shots, and he did not enjoy any of them. But he totally passed out when he was done fussing like a mad man.

At this check-up, he was 24 lbs and 30 1/4 inches long, 75% for both. And apparently he has inherited the huge Miller noggin, because his head is in the 95%! I guess that just means he's going to be a brainiac.

Can't wait for all of the milestones the next year will hold!

One Year Ago Today...

One year ago today, Miller Brant made his world debut in an operating room at Medical City Dallas. He was about a month early and just a little over six pounds.

When Mike brought him over to meet me, I couldn't believe he was really ours. He was so tiny and sweet, I just couldn't wait to hold him.

Once we found out he had some fairly serious lung problems, things got a little scary for awhile, and it delayed our first snuggle session. But I always knew that things were going to be okay, and that even though it was going to be hard for now, it was just a temporary situation.


And once we finally got to hold him, all that was forgotten.

And once he started eating, he really started to grow.

It's hard to believe that little tiny baby turned into this big, busy, funny, happy and mischievous little boy in just a year!

Happy birthday, Miller! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Baby Cake Face

Okay, I will blog more about Miller's first b-day later, but I couldn't wait to put this up. How cute is this cake-face baby?
