Miles Update - October 2008

Looking so much like his big brother...nothing like a baby sleeping so sweetly!

Peek-a-boo Mama!

Silly little boy!

This one loves to wrinkle up that nose!

 

Where'd Mama go?!

Hello?!  Is anybody there?!  (This is Miles' newest trick...anything goes up to the ear like it's a phone)

Ever the happy sweet baby!

My gosh...well, my boys are growing like weeds!  Miles is just as sweet as can be and so cuddly still.  I just love it!

He's been army crawling for about a month and a 1/2, but about a week ago he started crawling regularly SOMETIMES.  He seems to prefer army crawling because he's mastered it and he FLYS across the room!  I really have to watch him because he really moves.  Gone of the days are being able to sit him down and go do something really quickly!

He's babbling more and more.  It's really nice (because he was so quiet for so long...but who can blame him.  It's hard to get a word in with Max around!) until the screeching starts!  LOL!  He says, "Maaaamamama" and "Dadadada" mostly right now.  He plays a game of back and forth weather it's a hummm noise or a pretend cough.

He started self feeding about 3 weeks ago and he'd prefer to do that rather than baby food.  He likes Gerber Puffs and Crunchies. 

He has been able to sit up on his own (from lying down) for the past 2 weeks or so, but within the past week he's really doing it well.  It's still pretty funny to look in on his monitor and see that he's sitting up playing in his crib. 

We've finally weened the early morning (between 5-6am) feeding/change and he's sleeping until around 7:30am.  Actually, I think he wakes earlier some days but as long as he can find a binkie...he'll roll around and sit up and play in his crib quietly until around 7:30 or when he hears Max get up.

Naps are still great...and he's on a great schedule.  He's such a good little guy!  He's definitely a mama's boy and he's good until he sees me and then he darts for me to hold him.  He plays really well by himself for longer durations when I'm not in the room.

He loves being read and sung to.  I don't have much of a voice...but he still loves it!

All in all...he's a complete joy and has a beautiful disposition!!

***OMG, I almost forgot!!  He FINALLY broke his 1st tooth today!!  I've been waiting and waiting and finally one appeared.  The lower left front tooth...yeah!
