To Boldly Go...

I have had my camera for a while now and until today I had never ventured past the boundaries of the "Auto" setting. With some super generous help from my friend Alexis I made the leap today and together we shot pictures of Miles in "Aperature Priority" mode! Yay! She also sat down and worked with me in Photoshop... I feel like I learned a lot and I had a ton of fun! Now if only Quinn would chill out and play nice with her sweet little boy...

Here are some of the pictures that we took of Miles:

THANKS ALEXIS!!!

First Friend

One of my best friends had a baby boy about six weeks before Miles was born. The babies are old enough now to really enjoy checking each other out... it is super cute to watch them gurgle and coo at each other!

Drew and Miles

3 WHOLE MONTHS

On Friday Miles turned three months old! We have had so much fun getting to know him! I fall in love with him more every single day and I cannot imagine life without him! Here are some pictures of Miles from this weekend:

Travis has been fly fishing like a madman lately and today my brother went with him again. My awesome sister-in-law and awesome nieces spent the afternoon with us while the fellas were gone. It's no secret that Quinn is super unsociable and it was no different today. He is intimidated by other kids and has spent the evening saying, "Chloe scared Quinn!" over and over. Here are some pictures of the kiddos from today:

Miles laughed...

... out loud for the first time on Sunday!! He laughed while playing peek-a-boo with Mommy! He was 12 weeks and 1 day old.

Funny Little Story

We had a little get-together on Saturday to celebrate Quinn's birthday. Andrew, Amber, Claire, and Chloe came over for it and we had tons of fun. Amber and the girls stayed and played while Andrew and Travis went fishing. All together I would guess they were probably here for around five hours (correct me if I'm wrong, Amber). Quinn played, talked, ran around, screamed, laughed, and ate with them all day long. When they left Quinn hugged them all goodbye. As soon as they were outside and the door closed Quinn turned around and looked at Travis and me. He said, "Who's that?"

Back When Quinn was One

I asked Quinn what he wanted to do today and -no surprise- he said he wanted to play at the mall. So, we got ready and went to the mall! I brought my camera along and experimented with some of the basic settings. We both had a lot of fun! It was a fun thing to do for Quinn's last day of being one. I just can't believe how fast time has gone by! We have a big day planned for tomorrow (well, big for him!) so I will surely post more pictures soon (and I will break out the camera when Miles is awake and get some pics of him, too!).
