Where's Dad?

This video illustrates a new hand gesture Miles has started using. The multipurpose 'where is it?' sign. He started doing it on his own, haven't noticed either of us using it, so I guess it really is a universal sign. Certainly gets the point across! In this scene, Craig is hiding around the corner to get Miles to ponder....where is daddy?

Zoo

Russin and Leah invited us to join them on a zoo outing. It was still a little chilly, so the zoo was pretty empty. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the baby elephant, but all the indoor exhibits provided a lot of entertainment. Leah was far more interested in actually looking at the animals. Miles was just thrilled to be running around in a new place, although he did stop once or twice for a wildlife encounter (you'll see examples of both in the videos at the bottom)!

I think this was take #3

A little trick

This is a little something Leah taught Miles:

It's spring!

Too early to teach him how to weed?

Stomp!

Introducing...

Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Our friends Jessie and Shawn went on vacation and brought these adorable shirts back for Leah and Miles. Very fitting, I'd say!

Some subtle negotiating while waiting at the window. They were watching for buses, trucks, cars, you know, anything with wheels!

Favorite things

A smattering of Miles' favorite activities of late. A little ball kicking, some stick smacking and finally, his newest favorite: truck rolling.

Changing fast

Looking more and more like a little boy every day!

Squeaky clean

Off to the races

This has become a favorite pastime-watching cars. Craig started this with Miles long ago and now that he can walk down to the corner himself, he loves it even more. I put this in here to give you a peek at the speed Miles has been working on. He can move!!

16 months!

Time is flying by. Take a look.

This our sign for dog-every time he hears one barking, he stops to tell us about it!
