Happy Birthday Miles

This year, Miles turned 2 years old. We still can't believe at times that we have 3 boys so young. Simon really loves blowing out candles, so we had to keep him out of the way or else he would (again) blow out someone else' Birthday Candles. Good thing Miles was only interested in the M&Ms on top.
All the kids loved the cake.

They had their own little table in the kitchen to enjoy their food.

Here are some pictures over the years of Miles. We thought he looked more like Simon...but over time he developed into his own little man.




We love you Miles. Happy Birthday and may you continue to bring us joy.

Simon and Miles

Simon's got a fan club. He has a couple of little girls that think he's the coolest thing ever (besides his cousin Grace). Haley Hatch has got a "HUGE" crush on this boy. She gets the giggles whenever he's around and both of the parents think it's hilarious to see them interact. We told Simon to give Haley a hug and she was just ecstatic.

Simon and Miles are starting to really enjoy each other's company. They're both still very different people but they've learned how to play and have a lot of fun.

Miles does the craziest stuff some times when we go in and check on him. Apparently he went and read books and played Tennis after we put him to bed.



Kelvin went and represented the family at a masquerade party. It was supposed to be a fancy party but he ended up looking like the crazy butler.

Not sure how this video will look, but here Kelvin not only looks like a giant inside of this small trampoline, but he's got the boys bouncing around unable to stand on their feet.

Chillin'

Kelvin's parents came into town and helped out by watching both Simon and Miles. As usual, Miles got pretty messy after dinner. Instead of taking a bath, Miles decided to accept the chore and treat it like a hot-tub.

Susie also wanted to mention that if Miles keep up his figure, he'll need a "Bro."

We all love Miles. We'll try to post more of him and how big he's growing.

The Boys again....

As you can tell, Miles has been putting on the "LBS". We had a problem trying to get him to sleep during the months of December and January. Apparently, his throat had not quite fully developed, and so he "gasps" at night trying to breathe if he sleeps on his back. What worked the best was swaddling him up and either sitting him straight up on pillows (as shown below) or on his belly (I know...but weren't we all raised sleeping on our bellies?)

Simon still is pretty much oblivious to the new child. He doesn't mess with him, but he does find playing with our shoes and all of Miles' toys quite amusing.

Here he is wedging himself into the Bumbo...he seriously had to tip over to get himself out.

The boys getting bigger...

So, we are getting used to having 2 boys in the house. Simon still enjoys his bath.

Miles is definitely getting bigger...all attributed to the "straight cream" mommy's providing.

Introducing: Miles Robinson Ning

Well, Kelvin finally caved in and decided to do the name talk. The talk was brief as we all loved the name Miles Robinson Ning. We all felt that the name matched so well with Simon. Thanks to Paula for the suggestion. Robinson, of course is Susie's maiden name. We've toyed with alternatively calling him "sonny"

Kelvin's parents came into town to see Miles in the hospital. They have been such a great help as they just adore Simon and take him back to their hotel every morning at 7:30 for breakfast. This gives Kelvin and Susie some time to relax since Simon is such a handful. :)

We adore both of our sons...it's so amazing how much, and yet how little has changed to our routine. Simon is concerned about Miles whenever he's crying...he'll grab the closest parents and take them to him. Simon at times will be caught staring at him.
