One year old!

Fitting that I am posting this on the day we came home from the hospital-one year ago, with a brand new baby! It never ceases to amaze me the changes that occur in one year. I mean, this is from Halloween 2009:

(I know, I know-I'll never forgive myself for putting such a ridiculous hat on him. I blame hormones and serious sleep deprivation! )

Fresh from our first traumatic car ride home from the hospital.

It has been a most adventurous first year-I can't wait for all the milestones yet to come!

Favorite things

Currently two of his favorite toys-a small wooden bowl and a ball! He throws them and then chases them all over the house.

Vroom vroom

You can hear Miles making the brrrrrmmm, brrrrrmmmm sound while playing with his truck. I am loving all these little changes in the way he plays. It's getting much more organized and deliberate.

Fire truck

This is a new sound for Miles-fire truck!

Slippery shmipery

Miles has improvised a new way of crawling. The hardwood floors are just too slippery for any real traction/speed. So, he figured out an easier way to get around. This was in the early stages. It's perfected now and he can really make time across the room. He often crawls traditional style on carpet, but on smooth surfaces, this is the way ahead!

Game face

Will someone please open this kennel?

During a recent play date, Leah discovered the joys of sticking her fingers into Butters' crate. She thought it was quite silly and I thought it was adorable! Butters was just wishing she knew how to open the door. I'm guessing Leah will have that figured out before long!
