Labor Day = lots of firsts for Mac

Mac had a fun filled labor day weekend!!  Saturday he got to experience his first game day!  Grant had his FL jersey all ready to go in time for kickoff.  Mac didn't watch much of the game b/c it started after his bed time but the Gators won so maybe Mac will be our lucky charm this year!

He is one handsome Gator fan!

I love the way he is looking at Albert in this picture!


Sunday we hung out around the house and relaxed because we all had a big morning the next day!  On Monday Mac participated in his first 10K!  The Chiles Family got up at the crack of dawn to run in the Big Peach Sizzler.  We ran this race two years ago and it was a lot of fun.  Grant was the lucky one and pushed the stroller.  He ran the race in 55:46, I finished in 1hr 6 mins.  Yes...I'm out of shape....Yes my husband beat me by over 11 minutes all while pushing our son in a stroller.....Yes I had a C-Section a little over 4 months ago.....that should sum it up. 

As you can see from the pictures it was not a pretty day.  It rained almost the entire time.  Mac was lucky, he was completely covered and after the first 1.5 slept the entire time.  I on the other hand was pounded in the face by rain all while feeling like I could die on the side of Peachtree. 

Grant was very proud.  He was the only one out there with a stroller and everyone complimented him!

Ingore my smile and just my overall heinous appearance.  It was a rough race for this mama but I'm getting back into it!


Family shot - the man I asked to take this picture was just sitting in his minivan..shoeless.  I don't blame him, my shoes were soaked!


After the race we went to breakfast at the Flying Biscuit and it was delish!  We always go and have a good breakfast after races.  One might say I only run them so I can eat the breakfast ;)

I was sad to go back to work on Tuesday but at least it's a short week!

Macster Update

I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I last posted! We have been busy, busy, BUSY!!! Mac has really started to show his personality!  He is a really happy boy most of the time but isn't afraid to let you know when he is not happy!!!  He is growing and changing everyday it's hard to keep up!  Mac went in for his 4 month visit Aug 23rd!  He got another round of shots :( This go around he had a harder time than the first round.  He ran a low grade fever, was very clingy (which this mama didn't mind) and fussy.  I felt so bad for him but by the next morning he was his normal happy self!  Here are his 4 month stats!

14lbs 6.6ozs
24 1/2 inches long
15 3/4 head

And just for comparison here are his 2 month stats
10 lbs 12ozs
22 3/4 inches long
Head cir - 15

He is a growing boy!!!  He eats five 6oz bottles a day and goes to bed around 730/8 and sleeps until we wake him up at 6am!






Today he celebrated 20 weeks. I was going to upload the 20 week picture to put in this post but realized that the camera is in his room...and he is asleep so it will have to wait!
