New Word

Yesterday you said this word and I feel over laughing. You were so cute when you said it as well. Today I had to get it on film. I kinda forced you to say it but still cute

Peanut Butter

You love it. That is something that has been consistant.
I Finally found something that you don't just lick the peanut butter off of. Brown rice rice cakes.

Anytime I say Peanut Butter, you run to your chair and jump up. You climb in and chant "butter, butter, butter" until the snack arrives. You also know that you can't leave the chair until you have had a full cleaning. That PB is sticky stuff.

Peanut Butter

He has a new love.

What's for Dinner Tonight

Turkey burger, corn and berries

Blueberry... you might pull a Violet Beauregarde

Blueberries are you favorite as of late. You say "b bubl" to ask for them. It kinda sounds like bubble but I can tell the difference. I am your mama!

For dinner tonight it was all you ate. At this rate you are going to turn into an antioxidant or swell like Violet did in my childhood favorite "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" I think we almost broke that VHS with the wear and tear of daily watchings.

Early Grocery Run

Out of milk, eggs and bananas. You loved the car cart but I could not drive that thing! Glad it was early because if I had to navigate a crowded grocery I might have had a few traffic tickets.

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.

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)

Big Boy Fork

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