Celebrity dispatch #3: NEWMAN!

PERIODICALLY MILES WILL BE FILING CELEBRITY UPDATES ON HIS SIGHTINGS AROUND TOWN. HERE IS THE THIRD...

Well, my friends, I have really outdone myself this week. It seems wherever I go, a celebrity follows me. So, check this...I was out with the parentals and some friends for dinner in downtown Burbank. They're pretty lame because they decided to call it a night at 9:30 p.m. Me, I was ready to keep the party going...Alas, on our walk to the car, I saw Wayne Knight. Yes that's right, Newman!

I wish I had seen Jerry or even Kramer (I would have chastised him for using the n word--SO NOT COOL). But I was stuck with Newman. Isn't that Seinfeld's life story too? I know the show is well before my time but that's the beauty of syndication.

Yada Yada Yada

For those of you across the country following my haps on the web, I'm going to try to get some pics with celebs in the future. If mom and dad were a little faster at pulling the camera out, I'd share, but they're kinda slow. You know those old people.

Until next time, peace out!
The Bird

Celebrity dispatch #2: One cool designer

PERIODICALLY MILES WILL BE FILING CELEBRITY UPDATES ON HIS SIGHTINGS AROUND TOWN. HERE IS THE SECOND...

Dudes, I was strolling around downtown LA today with my parentals, and their friend Cara, and guess who I saw? Jeffrey Sebelia. Now that name may not ring a bell with you, but that's probably because you're not very cool.

Jeffrey, you see, was the latest winner of Project Runway, the rockin' designer show hosted by Heidi Klum. Still don't know it? Well, I can't help you out. Set your Tivo to Bravo! Jeffrey was covered in tats and lunching at Pete's at 4th and Main.

I was looking pretty hip myself, if I may say so. I think Jeffrey was saying to himself, "That's one good lookin' bird."

Afterward, mom and I headed to Babies R Us, where I tried out the latest in exersaucers. I liked pretty much every one I tried and I was having momma eating out of the palm of my hand.

Until we meet again, Auf Wiedersehen! (If you don't get it, watch the show.)

Mommy and me at Gymboree

Miles and Mommy went to a Gymboree class, along with our friends Barbara and Isaac. Isaac, who is 6 weeks older, seemed to buy into the concept a lot more than Miles did but the curious guy was fascinated with the mirror during "tummy time."

Miles goes camouflage

Miles loves this outfit (given to him at his baby shower by Bill and Jennifer Heisel). He looks all grown up. Tia Dities (Brenda) loves holding him, too.

Turn your sound up

Miles sucks his thumb and makes the cutest sounds. Check it out. Click play. Tell us what you think.

Miles' First Chanukah!

As you can see from the picture, the little guy is smiling now--and he really liked being surrounded by SO many presents on his first festival of lights. We lit the candles, dressed him in his Chanukah bib from Bubbe, put on his yarmulke and let him open one present. (OK, we helped him open the present.) Tia Dities got him a CD called Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Coldplay. It is really cool--and a great way to introduce him to rock. Happy holidays to all.

Celebrity dispatch #1: My first brush with fame

PERIODICALLY MILES WILL BE FILING CELEBRITY UPDATES ON HIS SIGHTINGS AROUND TOWN. HERE IS THE FIRST...

So, my parentals dragged me and their friends Lenny and Shirley to an estate sale held at the home of Tori Spelling. Um, yeah, that's right...Donna Martin (so before my time.) Anyway, after waiting outside for 30 minutes, we finally were allowed in. As mom and dad shopped and opened Tori's drawers and closets, pawing at her half-used makeup and unmentionables, I slept. (What else is new?)

But it wasn't long before I got hungry and that's when things got snarly.

I started noshing on a bottle of breast milk when a nice lady started talking up my mom and asked if she could hold me. Next thing you know, I ended up in the arms of... Donna Martin. That's right, the Spelling gave me my bottle and burped me. She even stood up with me when I got fussy. Don't even get me started about what was going on in my diaper at the time.

Camera guys were all around and my parents were told that I would be on Tori's reality TV show debuting in a couple months on Oxygen. Dudes, I'm going to be famous!! We'll see if that's true.

It was a lot of fun. And I must have looked really at home in her lap because one of the shoppers asked Tori if I was her son. YEAH RIGHT! My parents are far cooler. Word.

Dressed for success

Today, Miles is eight weeks old but he's already dressed for success.

The little guy knows how to have fun

Check out this video of Miles enjoying his vibrating chair. He's really starting to have fun.

Miles' Bris

The dreaded Bris actually went very well. Miles didn't cry until after the ceremony was over. He was a true champ! Our Mohel was amazing, the weather perfect, food beautiful and we were so pleased with the way everything turned out. Here are a few pictures from the day...

Catching Up! (Halloween)

Here's a few pics. from Halloween. As you can see, he had several costumes from which to choose!

The dalmation costume was first worm by Miles' cousin Ashley in '99 and then Joshua in '02. A family tradition!

So We're a Little Behind...

We weren't convinced we could keep up with a blog and a baby but we think we've got the world's best baby! In a nutshell, Miles arrived on October 12. He was and still is perfect in every way.
