Easter egg hunt #2 at my step-brother's house. We had an Easter brunch there with the family and then they staged a fun egg hunt for all the kids. They gave the little ones a head start which was nice and since Miles ended up on the unoccupied side of the yard, he was having no trouble filling up his basket! This all took place on the day we flew home. So weird to start the day in one state and be home for bedtime in another!

Easter- Take 1
Trying to get a group photo with all the grand kids (5 under 5) and Mimi. Ha! I included a few that I took because, well, you get the idea!
First official outdoor Easter egg hunt for Miles. He took to it quite quickly. I had to do a fair bit of running in the beginning to get him to a spot away from older kids (you know how it goes-those kids are fast!), but in the end, he had just enough loot to make him happy!
Trying to get David into the picture. He just wasn't interested. Did I mention it was blistering hot and humid?

Trip to Louisiana to visit Grandma Mimi
Playing cars with cousin Samuel.
Sam was so sweet and gentle with Miles. He has a younger brother, David, who is very close to Miles in age and his experience with little ones shone through. Sam was making up elaborate games and trying to get Miles involved. I'd say he had very little success, but Miles enjoyed watching him.

Refusing to have his picture taken.
Pushing the stroller on a walk around the neighborhood. Honestly, Miles spent more time pushing this stroller, both in the house and on walks.
Playing with cars (that's Lightning McQueen) at the nearby playground.

Daddy's chair
Sitting in daddy's chair like a big kid! This was actually a few weeks ago and shows the evidence from his crazy face plant on the cement. All is healed and well now. I'm just behind.

A few of his favorite things...
Cars (especially the characters from the movies) are still the preferred and much loved toy around here. I wanted to capture Miles giving all their names now, because his pronunciation is improving daily (in fact, this video was made a couple weeks ago and it's amazing the difference already!). My favorite is Uncle Topolino and the main reason I made this video.
As a side note, I haven't been posting many developmental updates lately, so this video may be surprising. Miles is a talker now. In 6 months his vocabulary has exploded. There are even sentences! He has also started repeating everything, so we are trying to be ever vigilant. :)
While I'm at it, I should also mention we have bid diapers good-bye! In January, Miles began potty training and things went pretty smoothly. Definitely a nice transition to make.
