Six Months: My Young Family

Miles has gained 10 ounces in 2 weeks by our home scale.  It must have been all that mashed potatoes and stuffing and bread and pie that Miles had over Thanksgiving!  (Or the formula).

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we held it here at our house for the Carscaddens and my mom and her partner, Ed.  As it was my first Thanksgiving acting as a host, nearly everything went wrong.  My turkey was done one and a half hours early!  Then it was a mad dash to cook all the sides with none of the ingredients having been prepared ahead of time!  When Jim and Susan and Schuyler arrived, I put them to work.  No easy, relaxed holiday celebration for you!  A very fun and hectic hour and half later we were sitting down to a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.  Talk about teamwork and family togetherness!

Today we introduced Miles to our annual family tradition of picking out ornaments and a christmas tree at a local garden center.  Since we're using a fake Christmas tree this year to prevent any baby mishaps, Miles just got to pick out an ornament and a wreath.  He picked an owl ornament!  Who would've guessed he'd want an owl ornament?

Mr. Carscadden, this week:


Punk rock bath baby bites ducky's head - mini
Ozzy Osbourne in training.

I'm in a basket.

I'm petting the cat.

I'm grabbing the cat! It's the most fun!

I'm holding my breath until you let me play with your phone!

Alpacas at the garden center.

New winter coat!

Alpacas!

Standing on my own!

Baby loves mirrors.

What's that?

Are you new here?

Something's going on up there.


Baby feets.

Seriously, the best feeling in the world.


Baby face.


Sweetest baby face.
