Practice

Miles gets to practice his physical prowess and I get to practice staying calm, even though I'm terrified he'll fall and bonk his head. However, I remained on his bed- the picture of relaxation and guess what, everything was fine.....(the superstitious person in me is very aware this could change any moment)! Now, just wait until he figures out he can carry that around and use it to climb up on all kinds of things. Oh boy.

Big bites

Loves his oatmeal. I think Nana got this shot while she was here.

Happy Mother's Day

We had a lovely, albeit short, visit with my mom this weekend. It's always great to have her in town and thankfully, she still hasn't given up on the idea of moving back here!

Treats from Nana

My mom was visiting this weekend and brought a quilt for Miles to use on his bed. Remember this one? It is still on Miles' bedroom wall-too nice to roll around on! Nana outdid herself again. I am in love with this quilt and I think Miles is pretty happy with it too. There are animals, letters, stars and lots of marbles (aka: balls!!). I think the size will be perfect for quite some time. Thanks Nana!!

Green smoothie

Before.....

....and after!

So far, this is really the only way we can get vegetables into this kid. He is getting a tad more adventurous with sampling in the last week or so. He tried a cucumber AND a stuffed mushroom. Unfortunately, they didn't stay in his mouth too long, but hey, it's a start!

Guess I can't get too mad at them

....they do put up with a lot!

Oh the joy!

This scene took place a few nights ago after dinner. If only I could remember how much fun it is to run. Miles is a great teacher though, so there's hope for me yet!
