Miles is ONE!
Miles has made one whole trip around the Sun! To celebrate, we put Miles in a 70+ year old shirt that his Grandpa (who Miles is named after) wore when he was one, and threw him and his sister into a ball pit!
At his one year doctor’s visit Miles measured 26 3/4 inches long, weighed in at 21 lbs 13 oz. and had a head rounding out at 18 3/4 inches! Don’t let this sweet face fool you…it can turn quickly! Miles is full of love and affection, giving forehead hugs to everyone, including Topo, but boy oh boy, this kid has lungs! He will scream often, sometimes out of excitement, but mostly out of frustration or some need not being met immediately.
This last month has brought on some welcomed developments for our little pterodactyl. Miles is sleeping through the night and I hate to jinx it, but he’s sleeping 12 (TWELVE!) hrs a night! His naps during the day are hit or miss for length, but I’ll take TWELVE hrs of sleep from the little guy over solid naps! Miles now has nine teeth, including one of his molars! And that mouth full of teeth loves to say, “Mom, mama, Mom, mama,” all day long. Miles is off of formula, drinking milk occasionally, but mostly drinking water. He has take some steps on his own at Ms. Janet’s, but he hasn’t shown us his new stride yet. I don’t think there is much else to report other than that he just seems so much more aware and will follow simple directions such as ‘sit down,’ ‘hand me,’ and ‘arms up!’
Below is a special photo block of Ella and Miles. Ella truly is the best big sister to Miles. She loves on him so well. She always wants to help him if he’s crying, shares with him well enough for a two year old, sings to him in the car, and when I ask her who she played with at daycare, she always says, “Bro Bro!”
