10 lbs 3 oz.

Yes, Miles is officially packing on the weight. We had a paranoid new parent moment at the children's hospital on Sunday night and they weighed him. He's now tipping the scales at 10 lbs 3 oz. Look out Easton, Miles is hot on the weight trail. He still has the cold he caught from someone after his first week of life . . . Coy, Gary, Cathy???, but he's doing well otherwise. He's such an angel and seems to sleep better in the kitchen than anywhere else. I think that's what the "Baby Whisperer" calls "accidental parenting." Here are a few more pictures for your enjoyment. I think Miles may be the only person in the world that's more pink than I am.

Parenting . . . ?????

There appears to be a very common theme with Coy and Miles. Is this really parenting????

Well its official! Sort of.

We're thrilled to report that the birth parents did not change their mind about the adoption, so Mr. Miles is definitely part of the Beaton family. The adoption won't be finalized for about a year, so we'll have to wait until then to bless him and to be sealed as a family. I'm guessing he'll keep us plenty busy between now and then. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.

Today's the day!!!! Counting down the minutes . . .

Well, we're counting down the minutes until we know whether or the adoption will go through. I thought it would be helpful for you to see how much Miles looks like his papa. I think Coy's a bit envious about the hair, although Miles' has some crazy cowlicks that will cause us all a lot grief.

A few more pictres from our first meeting.

Some pictures

I think I've finally figure ou how to add pictures. There's one proud papa!
