Children's Museum

Abby helping Miles learn the finer points of the ball tube

In spite of what his expression might say, he really did have a good time!

We had a great time when Craig's sister, Karen, came to town with 3 of her kids (I'm late with this post-this happened a few weeks ago!). Miles warmed right up to them this time and Abby was especially sweet with him. It was so fun to see him playing with his cousins. We hit the Children's Museum again, only this time, he had some kids to pal around with--hooray!

Father/son time

Nothing like contemplating which rock to throw in the river.

The silver lining to being put on hold

Turns out, Miles loves to dance to hold music. This was discovered when I put the phone on speaker expecting a long and lengthy wait. Sorry for the quality of the video-our camera struggles sometimes, but it was too cute to pass up!

Unbelievable!!

I never, ever thought this would happen! Miles actually fell asleep on his own, on the floor of his room. We had been hanging out in another part of the house and Miles went off to get his blanket and binky. I was nursing a terrible headache and while he was gone, I dozed off for about 15 minutes. I awoke and thought things sounded very quiet and sure enough, my suspicions were soon confirmed. It was quite a bit earlier than his normal nap time, so I was a bit surprised. However, a quick transfer to his bed and we were off to sleepytime bliss...for everyone!

Stacking with a twist

Craig and I were both in Miles' room one night when I suddenly noticed this configuration on his stacking blocks. Neither one of us had anything to do with it, so Miles had clearly been very busy. I really love his take on how to play with this toy!

21 months!

I'm going to pretend that we're not almost to 22 months and do this post anyway! Right now, we are experiencing a little bit of this:


And....a little bit of this:



Look out two, here we come! :-)
