10 Months

I know I say this every time, but holy smokes time goes by SO fast! Each day just gets better and better. Miles is so much fun right now; he has been such a busy little guy and is so curious which usually leads to mischief.
He is so close to walking, I mean seriously close. He still loves bath time and even though it's freezing he still loves being outside. He absolutely loves to dance and thinks his Daddy is the greatest! Here are a few more highlights from this month...

11.1.09
-He started to walk along the furniture
{slow & steady}
11.4.09
-He has decided he likes to crawl under things. Who doesn't love a good tunnel :)?
11.12.09
-He jabbers all the time. His favorites are "dadada", "mamama", and "nananummmm".
-is getting his top teeth.
11.20.09
-top tooth #1 popped through!
-Total number of teeth, 3.

Miles you are so much fun and we love you to pieces. Daddy and I are constantly taken aback by your cuteness and can't believe we are lucky enough to be your parents. I can't even put into words how much we love!
I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately {yea I know, bad mom}, but we got the cutest one of him during Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Unfortunately it's on my mother-in-laws camera so you'll just have to take my word for it {at least until I get a copy}. In the meantime here are a few pictures of Miles doing some of his favorite things.

He absolutely loves Finding Nemo {don't judge me}

And we wouldn't call him Mr. Mischief if he didn't love doing this!

We sure have a lot to be thankful for and hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

So Much Better!

After Twilight I told myself I wasn't going to go to anymore of the movies, but I am glad I did. New Moon was so much better! There were a lot of improvements, though some of the special affects weren't all that special. Overall though I really enjoyed it!

OK so now that I have more time I thought I would hit up a few of my favorite (and least favorite) things about the movie.
Favorite things: Jacob standing shirtless in the rain, Jessica's "like" attitude after the movie, Victoria's beautiful, vibrant red hair, the meadow was actually a meadow {that was one of the things I hated most about Twilight}, and Jacob after their "group" date to Punch Face {haha}.
Least favorite things: Edward's nasty hairy chest {come on he's supposed to look like perfect smooth stone - did anyone picture him with hair?}, Alice's vision of happy vampires frolicking through the woods {can we say cheesy}, and Bella's not so devastated reaction when Edward told her he was leaving {sorry Kristen I just didn't feel it}.

FINALLY!

Let the record show that Miles Gabriel Lucero started sleeping through the night at the age of 8 months. That's right, we have been sleeping soundly for over a month now!

It has been so wonderful to actually get a full night of restful sleep. He goes to bed between 6:30-7:00 and will usually sleep for 12 hours. He has been such a good little sleeper lately and we are feeling much more energetic these days.

We know that after all this time you probably want to let out a cheer on our behalf. It's okay, really, go ahead just let it out.
