R & R 101

We arrived safe and sound in Oregon early Saturday morning (4:30 am to be exact). Craig drove the whole time and Miles and I tried to sleep in the backseat. Miles did pretty well, only one short scream fest and a brief waking period at a rest stop. The rest of the time, he slept pretty soundly. Although, I think he was a little over the car seat. He's quite a wiggler in his sleep now and he seemed a little restless at times in the car, being contained and all. Thankfully, once we arrived, everyone was able to get a couple more hours of shut eye before the day truly began. Our vacation is in full swing now and we've been doing a lot of the following:





It's great having nowhere to go and nothing to do. We just lay around and play with Miles all day. Then, when it's nap time, we either sleep, watch TV, knit or read. No house to clean, job to do, chores awaiting or animals to take care of-pure heaven!

Parting shot


We're about to leave on another summertime adventure. This time...a car trip to Oregon. We'll be spending a week with Craig's family. I doubt I'll have access to post updates, so watch for a slew when we return.

This is Miles enjoying Leah's swing at our playdate on Thursday.

Clapping



I suggest stopping the video after the clapping at the very beginning. The rest shows his ridiculous parents trying to get him to do it again, with no success. Well, at least you've been warned.

Bubbles



I tried to choose the shortest video on this topic. I think it's pretty cute though-he'll just sit and make bubbles with his never ending supply of drool. At least he's resourceful!

Party in the park


It was a fun get together, the temperatures didn't seem to affect anyone's spirits. Well, maybe the pitcher of margaritas helped a little.

New hand gesture



Haven't quite figured out what this new hand gesture means, other than "I want something." Not too clear on the specifics yet. Oh, and you also get a peak at him practicing the pincer grasp. Still not interested in putting the food in his mouth, but he's having fun picking it up.

Mittens

This may be one of those things only I find amusing.
