A big day for the little guy

This morning, Miles started off his day with his first official portraits! (taken by Portrait Innovations) Since each of the other kids had 6-month shots done, we didn't want him to not have the same opportunity. :) (Although technically, today is his SEVEN month birthday.... shhhh-- don't tell him!)

Then, we came home and celebrated that 7-month birthday in style: he got to have his first real food! The other kids were about beside themselves with excitement... who woulda thought a little ol' dish of rice cereal would cause so much enthusiasm around here?

Here are some shots that all the roles the kids assumed: Strider wanted to feed him, Colsen wanted to video it (and he narrated all the way through, "Here's Miles' first meal!..."), and Rayna quickly ran to the kitchen for a towel to do some wiping when she saw what a mess was developing.

In true Frank-kid fashion, Miles decided FOOD is amazing, and kept giving us looks like "WHERE has this been all my life??" in between gulps and grabs for the spoon and dish. Let the fun begin!
Another reason to celebrate today: our new little cousin/niece, Audrey, joined the world! We can't wait to meet/see her...
