Miles has 3 New Cousins!

Miles will be welcoming 3 (yes 3!) new cousins into our extended family in the very near future. My sister, Sarah and her husband, Jeremy, have been matched with a sibling group from Ethiopia.

Hirut is the oldest child and she is 8 and a half, followed by Helen, 5 and a half, and then Binyam 2 and a half. Two big sisters and a little boy...why does that seem familiar to me...?

We could not be more excited for our growing extended family! If you would like to check in on the process from now until they travel to Ethiopia to bring their kids home check out their blog.

Miles was so excited he wanted me to share the good news.

Six Months

Miles turned six months old on April 11. In honor of this occasion, here are the top-six things I’m going to miss about his first six months of life:

6.) Being able to lift him and hold him in the “flying position” with one hand as I take him flying around the house

5.) The not too stinky, stinky diapers

4.) Sticking his whole hand and arm up to his elbows in my mouth while saying, “Miles, you taste like chicken,” to his grins and laughter

3.) Immobility

2.) Dancing on the kitchen countertop (So far, I think his favorites are James Brown*, the Beatles* and the Beastie Boys*)

1.) The best damn toothless grin in the history of mankind*
