Potty

Miles has been using the potty on and off. Mostly when he asks for it.  I caught him signing and saying potty today.  Sounds like Bobby if you ask me.

Next I have to catch him making his monkey kiss Plex the robot and signing I LOVE YOU.  which currently just looks like a waving fist. But I know what it means.

The Screen

You are sick. We went to the doctor Monday and had a breathing treatment.  You are feeling better but we have been trapped in the house more than usual and are making due.

This a.m. it was the sliding door that got us giggling. You can see why

California Speeday

it was hot... he was sick and tired... but he still had a good time. Daddy was happy that he shares his love for "Bikes"but as you can see below... he also likes tires.

Fell asleep on the walk back to the car.  And when we had to wake you, you were all smiles and funny faces.  Your hair was crazy with a mix of sweat, sunscreen and water that we poured over your head to cool you down.

A Boy and his Rosoce

Went to the park today and Miles chased Roscoe around. He eventually
let him take his leash. Some day I will catch them cuddling.

Horses and Chickens

Miles went up to our friend's ranch the other day to meet some horses and test out his ranch hand skills.

Little guy loves animals but didn't want to touch or ride the gentle beasts.

He was put to work though.  Nothing is free!

Tried his best to feed the horses but still wasn't sure about them

The Chickens were more his pace.

Thanks again Grace, Jack and Megan for taking us to your Grandparents Ranch.  We loved it and can't wait to go back again soon.

Ready for an Overnight

Chillin' outside Ma-Ga and Papa's house for a sleepover. Mama and Daddy are going to see Hova in concert and for once not taking Miles everywhere we go.

Ready for an overnight with grandma and papa!

Playground

Almost daily we hit the playground to get out some of your amazing
amount of energy. Running in circles you exhaust and delight mama

17 months late

So I didn't post your monthly update. This is a first! So here are some bits from the last month

- You run everywhere. You don't walk.
- You started to sign "I love you" but it only is a fist waving. You do it in return when I sign at you.
- You have lightened up on Nemo but love the zoo and are always asking for animals.
- Top and bottom teeth still cutting through.
- You can crawl out of your crib. I have caught you every time so you haven't fallen out yet.
- New words and signs are popping up daily. Yesterday it was "Cry" when you heard a baby at ikea. Today it is "shiny" as daddy gave you a keychain to play with this morning.

Easter is around the corner and we can't wait to do a little easter egg hunt and we will have a visit from Grandma and Grandpa.

Sunday beach

Sunday was overcast but it didn't stop us from going to the beach. Played in the sand. tried to dip our toes in the water but it was still SO cold.

Buried Miles in the sand

Ikea Kitchen

So husband broke down and let me pick up this kitchen at our last ikea trip. I put it together when you were napping and you woke up to play with it over and over. You climbed in the sink, you open and close the doors. Can't wait to see what you bake mama.

Duck Park

Thursday of last week Miles and I went to visit Grandma for the day. We went to look at ducks, played at a park and then had lunch together. It was so fun to go out during the week.

 

 

 

 

New kicks

Picked these up in size 6 and 7 for my
Main man. He needs fly kicks now and then. At least they gave fun boy
shoes. The clothes are so boring.

Ikea

From toy kitchens to giant planters, we had a great trip. Exhausting
but fun.

Talking and more Talking

Miles is just starting to put two works together. Here is him trying to say Apple Juice over and over and over. I also caught his sweet little "Meow" on video. So cute. Poor guy is teething with his top canine teeth cutting the last few days.

Day at the park. I love daylight savings!

Warm weather

Another trip to the zoo and runs with momma pushing. Tried the pool
but still too cold. All miles was looking for were fish in the water.
He was disappointed they weren't there. Guess it is off to the
aquarium again.

Quick note

Since Thursday everytime we get in the car you ask "animals" over and
over. Think Monday is the zoo again because you loved it.

You also are now making the sounds of animals when I ask you. Cat,
dog,monkey, bird and tiger are the ones you know. Also you are
pointing out girafes "raff" when you see them.

You wave at your stuffed turtle and say "hiiii" and the same goes for
your monkey and pig.

Too much cute for me most days.

Running errands

Miles chills and makes faces at daddy

The Beach

Today we hit the beach. We were actually dressed for the occasion and
got in the water for a bit but BURRRR it was so cold.
Miles went straight for the shovel in the mouth right when we sat down
again. I mean this phase has to end soon right? Beyond that he played
with Noel "well" as he prounces it. Watched the birds, at some sandy
sandwiches and "OOOHHH" at the helicopters going by.
Also placed a bucket on our heads to pass the time. Who knew you could
still eat sand througha bucket. My man has talent.
