Early shopping and a muffin with mama

Green Juice

Evan might knock me for the blender purchase but this is so worth it. How else can I say "My kid gets a full serving of raw veggies and fruit in the morning"

Every morning I blend up some fruit and spinach for the family. Miles gets a cup full and drinks it up. He gets it in the same sippy cup everyday and actually stands by me as I get the blender going so he can get his share first.

If he finishes his, he runs over to me and opens up his mouth and says "AHHHHH" until he gets a sip off mine. (Video to come)

Bearded Bath

In the last 2 weeks we have moved to the big boy tub. I feel like this is overdue but we just couldn't keep you from standing up in the tub so we waited a bit longer.

Today we had a bubble bath. Remind me to grab the video camera before next time. You were having a blast BUT you have this thing for drinking the bath water. Gross I know but I can't seem to stop you. You even go so far as dipping your whole face directly into the water to drink it. When you came up from the latest gulp you had grown some facial hair.

I also gave you a watering can to play with. You tried so hard to chug from the can. That is my next video for sure.

Coco! and NNNNNNN

Little talker has some stuff to say...

In Such a Good Mood

Miles,

you were in such a good mood this morning it was hard to drop you off at daycare. You woke up all smiles and giggled as you played with Coco and drank from your cup. You were talking non stop. You keep trying to say this word that sounds like DIRT. Not sure what you are getting at;) Either way, you are talking up a storm. You gave the dogs a loud BYE BYYYYYYEE! today as you waved before we closed the door.

Have amazing adventures today little man. I miss you.

More oodles than noodles,
Mama

Birthday Feature: Post Cake

Miles,

After your cake you were hosed down with a million wipes, stripped naked and re-dressed in a Miles Davis tee. It is one of my favorites.  Considering who gave it to you (Shout out to Uncle Paulie and Aunt Steph!) it is one of the coolest things in your wardrobe.

I think you knew it was your day. After cake you ran around 1/2 naked and with one of the biggest smiles ever. You giggled with glee and made your rounds through the crowd. 20 minutes later you were ready for a nap. Lucky you, both Grandmothers were there to take you home and put you down for some sweet rest.

If every birthday has as much love as the first one did, you are going to be one lucky boy Miles.

Love you more oodles than noodles,
Mama

Mostly you can see how loved Miles in from these pictures.  We are so lucky to have so many caring people in our lives.

Best Santa Photo of 2009

Yes it is early in the season but I think we can look NO FURTHER, Miles you took a classic picture today.   I should have known better as you were kinda on the crank side.  Either way, this photo is exactly how life can be. I like that you aren't posed and smiling because sometimes this is how it is.
I love you and can't wait to snap another Santa pictures this holiday just to see what else you have up your sleeve.

Big Boy Fork

Miles is trying to eat with a big boy fork and having some success!
