More of Miles

As promised, more baby pictures! I have spent most of the last three days at Michelle's apartment cleaning, helping Michelle and watching(more playing really) Miles so Michelle can shower, rest and sleep. It's been so fun watching the little things baby's do. Miles LOVES to stretch and he always has to have his hands above his head. He is so content all the time. Such a easy happy baby. Michelle is doing good except for the inevitable tiredness from lack of sleep.

Miles with the "missionary" haircut. Or as Rachel calls it, the businessman cut.

My personal do for the baby, mowhawk. I think it looks rad. He was laying down in this pic, hence the saggy lip.

Grandma (my dad's mom) with her first great grandchild

This Bassinet My Great grandfather made, the blanket his daughter(my grandma) made for Miles. My grandma, dad and I all slept in this bed. 4 generation family bed. I think almost all my cousins and aunts and uncles have slept in this bed. It gets passed around to whoever has a baby at the time. Michelle added the ribbon and made the bumpers. It looks so cute!



Miles asleep in his bed

Baby Buddha and my mom. He likes to suck his mittens.
He loves to sleep on his arm. Always hands above his head.

Cuddly baby and mommy. Mitten suckage again.


Cute cute baby

I'm an Aunt!!!!!!! (Finally!)

Coming in at 9lbs. 5oz., 21 inches long, at 8:55pm on monday May 5th, 2008, we welcomed Miles Alofa Laulu to the Hodgson clan!

Michelle was started because she was a week overdue. She was started at about 10am and had the baby in three big pushes at 8:55pm. She had an epidural and said it was just tough pushing, but everything else went great!

Miles is SO cute!!!!! He has a jet black curly hair (lots of it!), big hands (perfect for sports like his parents), a bit of a cone head, and looks like a white polynesian. That seems the best way to describe it. Not really brown skin, but has his dad's nose and hair for sure. Pic below you can see his hair!

Gramps and Gran loving the new addition!

He only cried when he first came out, and after that he just made little grunting noises that sounded like he was laughing. It was hilarious!

Proud Daddy

Happy Mom

Mom, Dad, Rachel and I went to the hospital about 20 minutes before he was born. Really good timing. Lema's sister and her husband came too. I seem to have a knack for the retarded look in pictures. oh well. I'm an aunt and I don't care how stupid I look!

Flowers we grabbed at walmart. I worked my flower arranging magic with added ribbons, scissors and D.I. vases. Yay for flowers!

It was so cute when he started to open his eyes. The lights were too bright for him and he was squinting so much he looked chinese. He is so adorable I could stare at him forever! Sorry for the wrong camera angle. You'd think I'd remember after doing it 50 times.

Please excuse my insane yodelling voice in this video, but enjoy the cute baby!

This "event" took place about 30 seconds before we left for the hospital. I almost became a patient myself. I was doing the dishes and a pile started falling. A knife fell less than 5 inches from my foot and stuck right into the ground. Rachel was playing with my camera and got the shot. Lucky miss!

Just a note: their will most likely be a flood of nephew pictures until, well forever from now on. You have been warned
