18 Month Dr. Visit

, originally uploaded by cedehaven.

You finally had your 18 month visit. Glad we went again because your eye wasn't getting better.

You checked out a few patients while you were there and wrote a few prescriptions for cherrios and goldfish. Met the Doctor's son Mika and played with him for a few.

Stats
HEALTHY
32 3/4 inches tall (70%)
25 pounds and 15 oz. (50%)

Beyond that we have to cut down on your milk intake to try to increase your food consumption. Little boy entering his picky phase.

Phone Flashback!

I have over 2000 pictures on my phone here are some that never made it to the blog.

My updated iphone is cropping them oddly but oh well!

Update

Wiggle worm this morning as the eye got worse. Didn't crush his mood though!

Peanut Butter for Lunch?

Eye Infection

Swollen eye this morning that only got worse this afternoon. Dr. here we come.

Eye infection. Caught it early but don't know if it is viral or
bacterial. Only time will tell.

So sorry baby!!

MINGO MINGO

I have been trying to blog more but getting back in shape (running) getting the photography business going and keeping up with an 18 month old can be draining!

Miles is learning new words all the time. Some are sweet, some make me laugh. Lately he says "OPEN" and waves his arms like he is a magician to open doors, elevators or the garage door. So commanding!

I have to say that flamingo is one of my favorites as of late. We went to the zoo to see them after he took an interest in the animal. We have a set of animal flashcards and he loves to go through them. Hippo, Flamingo and Snake are some of the new ones he loves.

Small video from just before our trip to the zoo.

Windy day at the park

Yesterday the weather called for rain but it didn't show up. We went to the park after your nap and were the only ones there beyond the middle school kids messing around. You lasted for about 30 minutes and then we decided it was too windy and headed out. It was great to get out of the house and get some fresh windy air.

Bubbles and Color

You crack me up daily. You want to try everything and are so interested in how things work. Today you wanted to blow your own bubbles.

Also your littler personality is charming... yesterday you moved to your own beat when you colored at the table

Weekend

These photos are from daddy time on Saturday. I had a photoshoot all day and Evan was super dad. Running Miles to the beach and a birthday party.

He LOVED the ball pit. He would fall in and giggle. Then he would ask for help to get out only to dive back in again.

This 18 month old is hard enough to keep up with let alone photograph anymore.

Slacker this week

I stink at my blog this week. I am trying i swear ;)

MILES IS 18 MONTHS NOW! (bigger post later)

here is a little video of Miles from earlier in the week. Will try to get some fun stuff today as we go to the Science museum.

and P.S. got a few notes about Miles turning the car on. Since it is a Prius he wasn't able to start it without putting his foot on the break at the same time. Evan can barely reach so I think Miles is safe just turning on the radio with the button for a while.

Waffle

You love your morning waffles! Asking for them when we get downstairs, you chill with your milk and watch a show while I get the dogs fed and the morning moving.

You now smile when the camera comes out. Too funny. You still move so much it is hard for me to get a good shot of you unless you are distracted.

You still love your kitchen. Cooking me food everyday and serving it up. So happy we made this purchase.

Daddy Cuddles

Daddy and Miles cuddle watching Wow Wow Wubzy. "wa wa" as Miles calls it. Love that isn't even a weekend. Normal old Wednesday. How does Daddy pull himself away for work? So hard.

Weekend

Daddy was in Vegas so we played!! You went to Maga and Papa's and we
enjoyed some time together. Weather was stinky but didn't matter. You really played hard at Maga's so sunday you took at 3 1/2 hour nap. You needed it grouchy boy.  So did Mama!

I am trying to update the blog but my phone isn't working since i updated to the beta 4.0 iphone os.  So will have to go back to old school updating.  BOO!  more updates to come today during your nap time.

p.s you are almost 18 months!  WHOA

Fish!

Again another trip to see the fishes.

My Favorite Playground

Miles favorite playground lately is the CAR... ugh i can't wait till this is over. I can only do so much laundry/organizing/chillin in the car. But it makes him happy.

This has been going on for a week.  Most of the time it just means I have to take extra precautions when turning the car on because who knows how many blinkers, wipers or buttons are pushed and turned on. 

Today he figured out how to put the keys in and turn the car on.

Crayons

Easter Bunny brought some crayons. We have tried them at brunch numerous times but you always ended up seeing how they tasted. I taped down a peice of paper and let you have at it. You didn't eat a single color but did draw on your face a bit.

Say Chesse

Handsome

Hello Kitty

We went to the mall the other day to get pictures with the bunny. You were so excited to see this kitty too you almost jumped straight of Daddy's shoulders to go say hi. You ran into the store and started to hug and kiss Hello Kitty. You even turned around and let me take this quick picture of you. This is why I love having a camera phone. I would miss sweet moments like this. Sometimes it doesn't matter how great the photo is, it is just how perfect it captures that memory.

Miles jumped off daddy's shoulders to see this little kitty. He ran
into the store and straight into the window. Gave her kisses and
smiled for the picture

Easter Bunny 2010

Went to get pictures with the bunny yesterday.

Here is last years photo

He actually liked the bunny unlike THIS classic Santa photo.  He waved and hopped and smiled.  Miles stared at the bunny for a good long while. He wouldn't sit on the bunny's lap so this year we had to jump in the photo as well. 

I Love His Run

He runs with all his might and so enthusiastically that it makes me smile ever time.

At the park

Before picking up grandparents we headed to the park. You weren't too
into playing so we left to get a bite to eat.
