4 months!

Miles turned 4 months old earlier this week!  Today we took him to his 4 month doctor's appointment.  We knew he was growing fast-our little guy is now a BIG guy.  He weighed in at 17.25 pounds and was 26 1/2 inches long- both 90th percentile!  He is happy & healthy and that is all that matters to us:)




He is loving his fingers and toes right now!

These little eyes follow us everywhere!



Baptism

A few weeks ago we had the privilege of baptizing Miles at our church!  It was such an awesome evening of celebrating Miles' life and our commitments to him.  Our church holds a separate service for child baptisms/dedications, so Miles and eight other children were baptized or dedicated that evening!  

Several of our family and friends were able to join us that night.  We shared food and laughs before the baptism service and Miles just took it all in...he was seriously perfect all night!  Grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends all came to celebrate our little guy- we are so blessed to have all of these people supporting our little family!





Our church asked us to write a letter to Miles for him to be able to read when he gets older- a letter that explains our commitments made to him that night to raise him in a Christ-centered home.  We were able to share our letter to Miles with our friends and family during the service.  It was a special moment to share this letter with the people who were praying, praying, praying for Miles even before he joined our family.
