Poor little chicken didn't stand a chance.

This is what the cat does. This is what Turner does.

It's nice to get out every once in a while. Britton and Jess came into town and it was really a blast hanging out till the wee hours.

Britton and his wife (Amy) are expecting a boy this spring. That was nice of them to get pregnate to give Turner another friend. Who knows, maybe they'll have pictures like this one in 30 years.

"Chair"

If pointing is impolite, then Turner is the Howard Stern of pointing. Here he is in Missouri. There are plenty of good pictures form the trip and I'll be sure to post some goodins. Until then...

My computer recently died. Something super freaked my hardrive and CPR could not be performed intime. Therefor I've lost a lot of pictures and video of the big guy. If you have any video or pictures that I've sent you of Turner please send it back to me. Much obliged.

On our way.

The family is going on a road trip tomorrow to Missouri to see G-Daddy, Gigi, Uncle Lane and all of the other Happy Hollow Posse. Should make for a fun New Years. Anyway, I'm probably not going to post for a few days so I thought I might want to give you your cutie pie fix for the week. And here it is, another picture of the big guy! Hurrah!

Sign Language

We've been signing to Turner for the past couple of months now. On Saturday he took me by complete surprise when he signed milk to me.

"Are you asking me for what I think your asking me for?" I said. Luckily I was warming his bottle. So I went into the kitchen grabbed the bottle and showed him what he was asking for. "Milk?" I held the bottle up as I was signing. He signed back to me again. I was so excited that I put the bottle down and picked him while praising him. "Good boy! You are so smart!" I said happily. Turner replied with a loud whine as he focused on the bottle sitting on the coffee table. "Oh yeah...You want milk"

Before Bed...

Before Turner goes to bed he usually sits and watches one of his many Baby Einstien DVDs. Here he is in his PJ's with his Mother.

All I want for Christmas is my four top teeth.

This is my son. Turner. He might disown me when he's older after he's sees all the silly costums me and Ashley have put him in. But what can I say? I get the giggles easily.

His top teeth are finally coming in. He's the been the drool king as of late because of it. He's also started to eat those little veggie puffs that pretty much melt in your mouth. But it's been good "hand to mouth" practice. He's pimp.

Ashley's Birthday

Ashley's 30th Birthday was on Wenesday and to celebrate we had dinner at the Samba Room with Whiney and Derrin as well as Ashley's sister Lauren. Thanks Jen for Babysitting! We both had the Skirt Steak (which made wonderful steak & eggs the next day!).

For a week before Ashley's Birthday we got a steady stream of packages everyday. She's a popular girl. Thanks to everybody who sent a card, or a present, or simply called with a birthday message! I know it made Ashley's 30th birthday a special one.

Turner Ring is cool.

Miller's in for Thanksgiving

Ashley's family came in town for Thanksgiving and here's the pictures to prove it. Since our house is small and our son is young (and goes to bed early) we had to brave the 55 degree weather and take the cranberry mojitos and Trivial Pursuit outside. We found that the two make for a noisy combination. In case you were wondering, team "Stealth" beat "The Pumpkinheads". And let's just say that I ain't no Pumpkinhead.

Scary Scary

As a graphic artist I understand that the ultimate goal of most print ads is to make a person look at it. Sounds simple enough but to find just the right image/headline/typeface/direction/etc/etc/etc... can be difficult at times.

I.E. this ad/ads for the Christmas Carol. I've never seen a more scary ad in my life. Not only is that a horrible image (draw the devil horns on either picture. You'll see what I mean.) The fact that they put the same ad side by side (that's wheels off) makes this cute little boy look like those twins in Children of the Corn.

I'm burning this newspaper right now for fear of this kid coming to life in the middle of the night and me waking up with those eyes beaming back at me. UUAAAHHHJJJJYYUU.......just got the willies....

Oh yea.

Here's a picture of Turner after a walk in the stroller.

After we get up

After The big guy wakes up, we usually either play in his room for an hour or so or we go out in the living room and throw down a blanket on the floor. Turner is getting really good at rolling around and getting the things he wants. Sometimes he settles on his hands and knees and gets a little frustrated. Especially if he can't reach his "Water, Water Everywhere" book. (pictured in the background).

Mr. Bighead

Learn Around Playground

Turner got a new toy as a gift from G-Daddy and Gigi. (It is for Christmas but when your trying to entertain a 7 month old, there's no such thing as waiting till Christmas morning... ) A Learnaround Playground! It's got GREAT songs on it like:

"Fuzzy.....Fuzzy,Fuzzy..."

After we eat zuccini...

The Machine

Turner's a machine. Eating and pooping. I could post a picture of the latter but...maybe next time. He really loves to eat. Squash (acorn and butternut), applesauce, cereal, peas, green beans and sweet potato. I'm sure the foods he eats doesn't really interest you. THe real reason I wrote that whole thing just so I could write "butternut" ha ha ha...

...butternut....

How's the weather?

When you're a 7 month old, taking walks becomes a big part of your day. The weather has been so nice the last couple days that Turner's really diggin' it. The perfect football weather.

A Cowboy's bye week is a good time to have a birthday party. Happy Birthday Lila!

Happy Halloween

Doesn't Turner look excited! Sorry buddy. Of course, I would feel bad, but you look so cute!

Anyway, here is a Halloween picture, a picture of Turner in his new Jumpy-jumpy-jumpy-thing and a picture of him sitting up (which he has now mastered).

Did you know that you can click the pictures and it will take you to my Flickr account? That has ALL of the pictures on this blog (and some rejects) in one place. and you don't have to read any boring crap like this!
