Six Months: Ashtray Monument

Lots of things were done this week.  I guess things are always busy leading up to the holidays.  Lucas went to the Ravens game last weekend, only to see them lose to the Steelers.  I took a test to get re-certified in electronic fetal monitoring, we had a surprise visit from the grandparents Carscadden, the presents were wrapped, the christmas cards were stamped and gifts were mailed, the hairs were cut. 

We got in the holiday spirit by attending the lighting of the Washington Monument in Baltimore (the original Washington Monument).  We walked down to our old neighborhood and gathered on the commons with thousands of other Baltimoreans, listening to choirs and watching fireworks.  It was pretty delightful to see Miles' reaction to his first fireworks.

Miles continues to eat interesting foods and he's perfecting his army crawl.  He even stood up on his own today in his pack and play!

Ravens vs Steelers

Yum yum mum mum.

This piece is called "Babe gazes upon feline"

Swinging!

Whoa!

Gimme that present!  I saw my name on that one!

Miles' hair is growing! He's a little fuzzball!

You've got a little something on your shoulder.

Family portrait: Miles didn't get the silly face memo.

Ice cream for babies? Sure.

They're pretty cute.

Still cute.

Miles likes to go out on the town.

Before.

After.
