Cutie Miles

Miles absolutely LOVES bathtime! He squeals with delight every time we walk into the bathroom because he thinks he gets to play in the water. He enjoys the pool almost as much. I think he prefers the tub, though, because he gets a little more freedom from mom!

He's not really crawling yet. . . .but we love to encourage him by putting him on his knees. Usually, this is how he ends up though!

"What? What are you looking at? So I love crackers, okay?
I shove them in with my fists! Yum! Yum!"

Just showing off his two new teeth on top. (He actually is getting two more on the bottom now too. This = loads of fun for mommy. Huh. I think we are keeping OraGel in business!)

He has really been exploring cause and effect lately. His favorite way to try this out is by throwing things. "If I throw this bowl off the table - where does it go?" The other night he discovered the joy of throwing a ball off the couch, watching it roll and laughing like crazy when I threw it back to him. During this game he showed us his new favorite sound - a high pitched screech of excitement that occasionally sounds a little hoarse - like he's losing his voice. (Maybe he IS from all the screeching. . .) His other favorite noise is a grunt of frustration. This usually is demonstrated when I think he's done nursing before HE thinks he is - or - when Luke takes a toy from him and thinks he doesn't care, but he's wrong! It is truly hilarious.

The new favorite toy in the house! This fabulous rug (super cheap, but good quality) from Ikea. Man, I love that place. Since we couldn't bring a lot of toys to Florida, Luke spends literally HOURS playing with his race cars (esp. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Doc Hudson, etc, etc. . .)

So, Jacob decided we need to help him out a bit and suprised him with this! Miles likes it too! Fun!

Every once in awhile Miles just gets a little worn out from all the Orlando adventures . . . Poor baby!
