Miles at Five Months
Five months! What has happened in the last month? Miles has his first tooth in and more are on the way! He has been quite a trooper about it too! He has rolled from his back to tummy and vice versa, but he’s not consistent about it. He’ll roll onto his tummy and then cry because he’s stuck. His once dark hair is coming back in blonde! He is laughing…finally! I tried so hard the last month to get this little dude to crack up and he finally has! Unfortunately, the only good video I have of his belly laugh includes a penis shot, so we won’t post that one here. (I’m sure he’ll thank me later). Toes…Miles loves playing with his toes! He reaches for those things all day (and night) long! Speaking of sleepless nights, Miles has officially been kicked out of Mom and Dad’s room. He’s sleeping in his crib in the guest room, which hasn’t made the nights all that better, but at least we don’t hear him reaching for, and playing with, his toes at 3am.
Miles continues to enjoy adventures, small and large, with the family. He goes for regular walks in the desert (strapped to Mom’s chest…his happy place) with Topo and Ella. He happily watches his sister do anything. He received a visit from Grandma L last month and a dinner out with Schukei’s from Las Cruces.
Although the stretches don’t last that long, he goes to sleep most evenings and naps without too much fussing. He’s happiest when he’s being held regularly, like every 10 min. he wants to be picked up. He sucks on his fingers to comfort himself and loves his blankets as much as his sister. And if I didn’t post it prior, they are officially in the same size diaper.
