He is a boy now, isn’t he?
September 17, 2007
My baby is 33 months old. And flesh colored. Kidding. It’s a joke.
What is that sound? Oh yes, me laughing all alone.
But at least I have a cute baby, right?

He’s getting so big! He’s a handsome little fella. Does he still stomp around in those monster shoes?
September 18th, 2007 at 12:01 amSo adorable. His pink cheeks compliment is fleshy tones.
You are not laughing alone.
September 18th, 2007 at 12:03 amI’m laughing. And yes, having a cute baby makes up for lots of things.
September 18th, 2007 at 12:30 amHe is definitely adorable (and flesh colored). His brown eyes are amazing!
September 18th, 2007 at 12:42 amHe’s absolutely adorable. And oh my gosh, he does look like a little boy in this photo. But at 2&1/2, he’s still just your cutie pie baby.
September 18th, 2007 at 12:48 amWhy yes, yes you do. He’s quite cute.
I haven’t been reading your blog all that long and it’s astonishing how much he has grown and changed just in that period of time.
He looks like he’s thinking about what to get into next
September 18th, 2007 at 12:52 amHe’s a very cute baby/boy/hottie in the making.
I bet you just want to squish him tight sometimes and make the babyness last just a bit longer.
(that is to a word.)
September 18th, 2007 at 1:05 amSo I’m the one who’s spent the last week reading your archives — not cyber stalking I swear — just caught up in your fantastic writing and your beautiful family. I had to write and say that I think you’re insanely productive and I’m a little bit afraid of you. 7 kids and you home school? I can barely handle the 2 step-sons who only sleep over on the weekends, they came into my life post-diapers, and one of them is now at college and the other is in his last year of public school! Couple of thoughts…I too pulled out my spacers and had to make a return trip to the orthodonist, I covet your daughter’s shoes, and you’re lucky that you live as far from IKEA as you do. When it’s only 10 minutes down the road, you end up with even more of their stuff in your house! My husband still likes to tell guests about the week we went there every single day.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:14 amAWE! He’s adorable! I’m so excited to learn my son Ari is almost the same age as him
Ari will be 33 months old on the 27th.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:46 amAhh yes. . .the boy man! I have one the same age and even today as I look at him I am amazed at how much they look more and more like a grown up. It’s amazing.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:50 amHa! He’s gorgeous. After another commenter mentioned that she was looking through your archives, I went back and remembered reading about his birth. I’ve been reading here since 2004 and I only just realised that my fourth child Matthew and your Miles share a birthday. Mattie was born 12/12/06. Two years later than Miles but it’s funny that I never noticed in my every day reading….It did always seem to be a good day to have a baby, easy to remember. Miles looks a little like my 2.5yr old - a mischief maker. They are so cute at that age.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:59 amAdorable!
September 18th, 2007 at 2:03 amAdorable! Although I’d do something about that color. It looks a little off. But it could just be the picture. Or my monitor settings.
September 18th, 2007 at 2:13 amp.s. Is he watching baseball in this picture?
September 18th, 2007 at 2:15 amLike all your boys he’s yet another good looker. He looks so cute a cuddly, I could squeeze him to death.
I have just ben back through ALL of your Flickr pics yesterday and today. I so love the one of Miles dressed up in his santa suit when he was newborn.
Take Care and have a great day
September 18th, 2007 at 2:32 amLove Carolynn xx
Beware.. I may come and steal him from you.. he’s too cute for you to keep him all to yourself!!!!
MWAH!
September 18th, 2007 at 3:07 amWhat a cutie. What beautiful brown eyes he has. It is amazing to go back and look at how much he has grown up. All of your children, actually, but I can see it mostly with him since we have gotten to see him from birth.
September 18th, 2007 at 6:45 amYes you do very handsome
September 18th, 2007 at 7:43 amYou are most definitely not laughing alone. He is too cute.
September 18th, 2007 at 7:57 amI’m already mentally fixing him up with my baby
September 18th, 2007 at 7:57 amHe looks just like your older blond son in that photo! Dang woman you have beautiful kids!
September 18th, 2007 at 8:12 amNo, no–I’m totally laughing with you. Or at you. It can be hard to tell.
He looks amazing. Healthy, happy, and 100% Boy!
September 18th, 2007 at 8:20 amThe Boy is adorable! But, I hate to inform you…you don’t have a cute baby. You HAD a cute baby.
I, like so many confessed here today, have been reading your archives. Amazing stories. Congrats on living such a blessed life. I hope mine turns out half as wonderful.
September 18th, 2007 at 8:29 amAnother one laughing with you.
Your peachy, taupey, tawney, apricot, salmon, fleshy colored boy is very adorable…
September 18th, 2007 at 8:31 amYes.. he is a boy.. almost.. I think officially.. you have a few more months.. I still call my 4 year old baby.. so. you know.. they are always our babies.. no matter how big they get!
September 18th, 2007 at 8:50 amIt’s funny how the youngest always looks like a baby….I hate how, when I bring a newborn home, the next youngest always looks as if he’s grown up overnight.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:23 ami tell my boys that they will ALWAYS be my baby, even when they have beer bellies and hair growing out of their faces.
and chris? you are not laughing alone.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:28 amWhat a cutie! My baby is almost 5 and her face is starting to change . . . losing her adorable puffy cheeks - but she’ll always be my baby
September 18th, 2007 at 9:29 amI am laughing with you.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:43 amHe is adorable!
And be assured you are not alone in your laughter.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:48 amHe is absolutely adorable. I wish your Miles could come over and play with my Myles. They would get along famously as they are only 19 days apart.
September 18th, 2007 at 10:03 amI have been a long time reader, but am a first time poster! I just have to say that seeing any picture of Miles always puts a smile on my face
What a cutie!
September 18th, 2007 at 10:13 amHe looks more like LIGHTEN-THE-HELL-UP color to me…
But he is gosh-darn cute.
September 18th, 2007 at 10:24 amWhat a handsome boy. He looks so grown up.
September 18th, 2007 at 11:40 amFlesh colored. You crack me up.
And yes, he is a handsome boy.
September 18th, 2007 at 11:53 amhis flesh coloring looks good on him!! he is so cute i don’t know how you stand it!!!
September 18th, 2007 at 12:12 pmVery handsome indeed!
September 18th, 2007 at 12:53 pmThat was funny and he is adorable!
September 18th, 2007 at 1:50 pmWhat a cutie!
September 18th, 2007 at 2:07 pmHad to comment–I’m a med student, and when I hear “flesh” I do not think “skin”…I think about the meat underneath the skin. Which is the same color in everyone (who is not so diseased that their insides are changing in their appearance).
So, really…you are correct. Flesh colored is a peachy tone (in healthy people). No matter what color the skin on top is.
Sheesh, PC police!!
September 18th, 2007 at 2:17 pmSo handsome! RC is 29 months has lost that baby frame. His head doesn’t account for a third of his body size anymore. And SO FRESH!!
God makes ‘em cute so you don’t kill ‘em
September 18th, 2007 at 2:33 pmHe is so incredibly handsome. Such a sweet little boy. (And I burst out laughing at “flesh colored” so you are far from alone.)
September 18th, 2007 at 4:31 pmAw, come on. He’s so cute. You wouldn’t want just ONE more? How much work would it really be?
Ah, see - now I’m laughing.
September 18th, 2007 at 4:36 pmPlease post a picture of the wall. I need to see it. I think it’s funny.
Yes, Miles is adorable. He’s looking all kidish. Cept for the hands, he’s still a baby handed boy.
September 18th, 2007 at 4:46 pmCrocs! I love little kids wearing crocs. It makes their feet look oh so sweet.
You have an adorable boy. With a slightly mischeviuos twinkle in his eye!
September 18th, 2007 at 5:01 pmHe is super cute. He really does look a lot like your older (6? 7?) son
September 18th, 2007 at 5:18 pmYour baby is adorable!!! I can say that with conviction because I am the mother of THREE boys and I know an adorable one when I see ‘em. He’s a keeper!
September 18th, 2007 at 6:32 pmWell, he is when you dress him like that. Quick, get some footy pajamas stat!
September 18th, 2007 at 6:57 pmRe your post over at Parenting:
I do not remember where I read about the executive portion of the brain. You can find many articles by googling “executive portion of the brain.”
If you decide to add brain study to your science curriculum, here is a wonderful jello mold; my sister bought one when her sons were studying the brain in school.
September 18th, 2007 at 7:14 pmhttp://www.anatomical.com/product.asp?pn=21013&bhcd2=1190156879
Yes, he is a very cute little flesh colored boy.
September 18th, 2007 at 8:26 pmYes Geppetto, he’s a REAL boy. With grass stains and all. The sound we hear is the clock turning our babies into children. Bittersweet. And he is way too cute!
September 18th, 2007 at 8:57 pmChris,
September 18th, 2007 at 9:19 pmI am a little behind the curve in responding to the whole “fleshy” situation! But I still need to comment to reassure you — because you’re the type to worry and all — that I was not at all offended that you thought the color of my flesh on your son’s walls was revolting. Really. I am a European American and proud of it.
Okay, it has been confirmed. My boy is the same age as yours. And mine too, is looking like a REAL BOY. And I just want to tell him to CUT THAT OUT.
September 18th, 2007 at 10:45 pmHe looks so big in this pic!
September 18th, 2007 at 11:03 pmHe’s adorable!
September 19th, 2007 at 8:26 amI can’t believe people would get their panties in a twist over the word, flesh-colored. Come on peeps!!
I can’t believe the amount of attention and ridicule one comment gets from everyone when the rest are so clearly supportive. Are we in high school?
September 19th, 2007 at 8:42 amA Manly Man.
September 19th, 2007 at 9:10 amhe is darling. and thank you for making me laugh out loud!
September 19th, 2007 at 5:06 pmAWWW whata cutie
September 19th, 2007 at 6:14 pmHe is so delicious.
September 19th, 2007 at 10:30 pmWhat a cutie lil boy you have out there!!!
September 19th, 2007 at 10:40 pmHe does appear to be a boy! That’s a very boyish boy that you have there.
September 19th, 2007 at 11:40 pmHe is so stinkin’ adorable!
September 20th, 2007 at 2:17 pmYou are allowed to refer to the youngest as “your baby” until, well, forever. That’s what my mother told me. Hers called her that into her sixties (they didn’t stop - they died). Mine always called me that. So… Bwah, ha ha - my little guy will always be “the baby”.
