Just in Time

Ahhhhh... La Jolla

So we here at the Dayley household had a nasty run of the stomach flu last week. I got it starting Monday, Miles got it around Wednesday and James topped it off by getting it Saturday Morning. I am glad to say that I think the worst is over and it couldn't be at a better time. We leave for San Diego tomorrow morning to vacation with my fabulous family and I couldn't be more excited. Of course, I could do without the 7 hour flight to get there....wish us luck!

Friday Flashback!

Anna's Bakery. I wish I had taken more digital pictures so I could show you some more of my favorite people. Here we are on some random afternoon. Ada, Marisela, Monica, Me and one of my fabulous bosses Lisa.
 
 
Here are Lisa and Monica. One trying to make their chest larger and the other trying to cover up. We were always having a great time, even when things were crazy busy.
 
I loved my job so much, the only thing that made me want to leave was James...and sometimes I just asked him to come there and hang out while I worked. I got to work with my best friends, in a beautiful place, with bosses that were willing to work right along side you. I am so grateful for that experience and I miss them all dearly. Love you guys!!!

Typing Test

So my friend Dani is a rock star and she got a 96 with no incorrect words. I am sure you can beat me, but can you beat her?

Miles on the Run!

This is right before Miles decided to get the flu. We were having so much fun getting ready for bath time, hence the rushing water noise in the background. Miles was thinking he could run up and down the halls. He only does this kind of stuff with James. It's as if he saves up a bundle of energy for when he gets home from school. :)

It's official...Nothing is Safe

There are a lot of great things about having a big baby boy......
1. Everyone seems proud of me, like I did something right.
2. He doesn't seem as breakable as a little baby.
3. It has been fun watching him achieve all his physical milestones a little early, and I am sure there are more.
But there is a BIG drawback....Miles is so tall, that at nine months he can now officially climb onto our couches, which means pretty much everything is accessible.




I tried to shoot a video, but he was so distracted by the video camera that he wouldn't climb for anything, not even my cell phone. :)

Play Time in Mom's Bed

Our neighbors are doing construction on their house. So today there was some sort of machine on the construction workers truck outside our front door. Not only was it loud, but it was slowly filling my living room with the smell of emissions. (Our door is a little drafty) So I opened the window to the back patio, turned on the fan in the living room, and Miles and I headed upstairs to play.



I brought the camera along because Miles isn't so easily entertained these days unless he is climbing onto something. But the camera is always a winner. Here is a slideshow of some of his highlight shots. Hope you enjoy! It was a good time for me.

Friday Flashback!

Halloween 2005. It was our first Halloweed living in Philly. Here we are with our Fab Friends, Kelly and Dave. Can you guess who we are?

31.25 and using every inch....

Roseola no more! Miles doesn't have a rash any more from his Roseola attack over the weekend, Hooray! He looks just as cute as ever. The one good thing that came out of the whole event is that we got his 9 month appointment over with at his sick visit. We were scheduled for next week, so she took all his measurements right then and there.

Miles is off the charts tall (he has done that once before). He is 31.25 inches. The woman even measured him twice to be sure. Then she asked me if my husband was really tall, nope, my son is just freakishly big. He also weighed in at 21.2 pounds, good job kiddo. He definitely uses every inch of his height as he meanders around the house....

How cute are those little legs? He doesn't like to wear his pants around the house anymore since he learned how to crawl. They make him slip on the hardwood, so instead he wears a jacket all the time.

Tag...you're it!

OK, so Kelsey is really tricky and put up a post and tagged anyone who read it. So now I am doing it to you! She wrote 100 things we didn't know about her. I don't think I can do 100 so here are 20....

4. I don't like gravy.
5. I don't like cut flowers, I think its sad...I would rather have a plant.
6. My favorite color is not pink (even though my sis Jen insists that it is)
7. I have freakishly strong nails.
8. I love writing thank you's.
9. I hate Walmart.
10. My first kiss with James was awful. (we both thought so)
11. I eat dessert every night.
12. I love to bake, but don't love to cook.
13. I talk in my sleep.
14. I have dyed my hair: blond, pink, blue, silver, black, red, purple and brown.
15. James usually cuts my hair.
16. I love shoes, especially high heels.
17. I wear one brand of jeans. (they fit just right)
