Trying to breathe

Last week found Salt Lake buried in an inversion. This means we had quite a few 'red' days with very high particulate counts. Ultimately, they warn you to drive less, exercise less and if it were possible, breathe less. It's quite disgusting. The only respite is the mountains. So, we loaded up the car and gave it a try.

Blue skies, sunshine and a very happy poodle straight ahead.

Starting out on our hike. Isn't Aunt Mary nice to carry the babe? She wants an extra workout and who am I to argue! :-)

YES!!! Sunshine and fresh air. Our lungs and psyches were so grateful. Miles actually dozed off for a portion of the hike, so good for his psyche too!

Escape artist

During a recent diaper change, Miles decided to forgo the part where you put your diaper back on and managed an escape. He had great fun running around the house half naked, so it was hard to be too adamant about re-dressing. I'm guessing there will be a lot more of this as the weather gets warmer and he figures out how to take off his clothes on his own. Hopefully, it will make potty training that much easier! Plus, how cute is that tush??

Wasting no time

Now that he's figured out walking, it's on to kicking!!

Christmas

A few shots from the holidays.

We were happy to have Nana back in town for Christmas!

Blocks and fun container Daddy made.

Playing with the Lego people from Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Aaron

A post-Christmas Eve dinner dancing session with Aunt Mary

A picture with Mama (I have no idea what is going through Miles' head, but it is clearly not 'smile'!)

Giving up

Starting to drop the morning nap....sort of!

Noisy!

Fun new toy from Grandma and Grandpa Evans that has lots of buttons to push. And proof we put up a tree!

Walking

Two little videos to highlight Miles' recent activity....walking! He took a little break after his first steps and then suddenly on Wednesday, decided that walking might be the way to go. It's still not his preferred method, but I don't think it will be long before he's cruising all over the place!
