Banana

Little guys loves loves loves his bananas. At the grocery store he chants over and over. My little monkey loves his nana.



once he is done, little man waves his arms telling me it is time.

Baby Crack

Be Careful, it is addictive!

Weekend

Some photos

All Done!

Dinner the other night and I got the "More Pictures Mom... really?" face  Miles also has really picked up on the sign language. Below he is waving his hands in the air  telling me is all done. Wonder if he was talking about dinner or done with the flash in his face.  Either way, I swooped him up and gave him kisses.

Above are a few more shots from Miles' latest obsession. Getting INSIDE of things. He crawls into everything. Any basket he can. Lately it is the red wagon walker. Once he gets in I push him all around the house. Helpful for learning the sign for GO and STOP. This morning we did it again and little guy is already picking up the GO sign.

What Miles had for breakfast

More photos to come

Shout out

Thanks to my first immigrant and black friends for the fit... I pulled
mad chicks.

Monkey

Crazy man is all over the place lately. Climbling up the couch and
sitting on top of it only to then have a sock snack. Phew all in a
days work

Playtime!

Jayden came over for a little playtime yesterday. Miles was a busy boy and Jayden found him entertaining. Laughing at him the entire time. Jayden is such a happy, talkative boy.

Miles said 'Thanks for coming over" in the form of a hug before Jayden had to go home. It was too cute. I missed some good shots just melting over it for a while.

Bath Time Made Fun

Big mess to clean up? Miles always seems to be messy. I take it as a badge of honor. Little man had fun and is wearing it all over.

Bath time is generally an easy time for Miles. He likes the water. Splashes and laughs. Yesterday on parenthacks.com I saw this post.

Shampoo bubbles during bathime, so easy. So so easy. Why didn't I think of this before? So last night I blew soap bubbles magically from my hand as Miles reached up with his chubby finger and popped each one. He laughed more and more as he patiently waited for the bubbles to be big enough for his fingers to poke.

Adding this to the parent repertoire.

Flashback: One Year ago Today

Click to see Miles working hard

This little guy found out quickly that nothing in life is free. We had him working for his milk and clean diapers off the bat.  Never too early....

Now that Miles' is a year old, I will be posting flashbacks now and then. Just to remember how far he has come. Plus they are so darn cute!

I love Babies in Plain White Onesies

I love babies in plain white onesies. So much these days have taglines across the chest distracting the simple beauty that is baby. The white onesie let's you focus on the chub, cheeks and tummy instead of the marketing message. When i want to take pictures of Miles being Miles, i prefer diapers, white onesies or best of all Naked baby! ugh, need more baby butt photos around here!

Doesn't Have Mommy's vision

This is proof miles does not have his Mommy's vision because somehow
he pointed out these balloons that I could barely see. Good to know he
won't be wearing coke bottles :)

Itchy Shutter Finger

I haven't taken pictures of Miles in about 2 weeks. I took a few minutes out of today and snapped my little man playing in the late afternoon sunlight. Chubby arms, overflowing cheeks and tiny tiny teeth. I think each month with this guy gets better than the last. He is using his signing more and more learning new signs. Lately he tells me "all done" when am mid-way through a diaper change. Yeah sorry buddy, not all done.

Little Monkey... tricks or treats

Miles' circled the complex today as a monkey collecting little yummys in his felt pumpkin.

The ears only lasted so long. He actually walked his fair share. Wasn't upset or scared by any of the costumes and charmed the pants off of more than a few.

Look what Miles came home with?

I love Therese at daycare. She made these with the kids today. Miles
"helped" with it. Now I have some decorations for tomorrow
