Got to See You!
Yesterday we got to hang out for a whole HOUR. I treasured it and snapped a few shots too. I miss taking pictures of you sweet face more often. Christmas holiday watch out! My shutter might be smoking.
Banana on your face, all over your hands and the stairs. It happens.

One of my Favorite Shots
Miles,
This is one of my favorite shots from your birthday. Almost 2 months ago but still feels like yesterday. I was so lucky to have someone capture the moments of your party so I could enjoy every yummy one with you.
This morning I tried to get you say your new word "Tattoo" you said it twice and then I grabbed the video camera but you were to busy eatting pretzels by then.
You get temporary tattoos at daycare and yesterday when daddy picked you up you were curious about your latest addition, a zebra. Daddy told you it was a tattoo and you walked around proudly saying Tattoo...Tattoo over and over pointing at your arm. I wish I was there. I got a small preview of it this am so that made up for me missing the moment. I will continue to try to video this unique word for my 13 months old.
Just when i get used to saying you are 13 months old, you go ahead and turn 14 months. Ugh just a few days away AGAIN. Before I know it I will be saying I have a 5 year old and crying as I drop you off for kindergarten. Yikes!
Breakfast Every Sunday
Every Sunday we try to make it to the local deli for breakfast. This visit was the first attempt with crayons. It was a FAIL. You ate them instead of colored. Whatever, it happens. Instead you liked to watch Dad color. That lasted a whole 5 minutes and then you were on to charming the waiter.
You were so keen on making new friends that day that you offered him up your "baba" and weren't happy until he kept it. You actually signed "Thank You" to him when he brought you back a kids cup to play with. You were charming, sweet and actually ate breakfast. Mama was proud.

Hungry?
Today you stuffed your face. I thought it would be funny to get you to talk with your mouth full. Good manners come first in our house.
Work has been crazy lately and I picked you up at 6:30 today from daycare. When I opened the door you were at the other end of the hallway. You saw me and moved those little feet the fastest I have seen to date. You had your mouth open in an exaggerated smile that I have burned into my memory. I was greeted with big hugs. After we left, we stood outside the car for a minute just pointing at passing cars and getting smothered with kisses.
Daddy took you to daycare today and before I left for work I am so glad I took the time to prep your dinner and bottle because by the time we got home you were so tired. Instead of getting dinner ready I was able to play with you for the precious few minutes we had today. After dinner then it was upstairs to get ready for bed. When you are ready for bed, you get monkey and I turn off the lights and hold you for a while. Lately you are a tight hugger. You grip your little hands on my arms and snuggle your monkey into my shoulder. Your little feet crawl up my chest to tuck into a tight little ball and get comfortable. We rock for a few minutes and sometimes I almost fall alseep.

I love my enthusiastic eatter
California Science Saturday
Today Evan wanted to go for an adventure. We hit up the California Science Center right on the USC campus. USC was playing Arizona today. Not good timing but didn't stop us.
Miles ran around and played at the discovery zones. The zones are perfect areas for kids his age to 7 years old. So much hands on and exploring. I can see us going back again.
All the photos from today are on flickr and the slideshow below
On top of that, today Miles has been trying to say Roscoe. He already says Coco now and then
He also was so excited about a big boy bath that he crawled in the tub early, fully clothed and asked for bubbles. that was a first. So I stripped him down and we took a bath before dinner that was FULL of bubbles.
For dinner he polished off a cup of spaghetti, a full banana and a half and some pretzels. Hungry man.
Miles now calls me Mama when he wants to get my attention and isn't always a fan of sitting down to eat. He wants to always be on the move so taking time out to sit and eat cramps his style. Tonight he would cry when I put him in this seat but when I would take him out, he would walk over to the table and cry to get the food. Eventually he figured it out and sat at the table to eat. Mama gets her way!

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.

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
