I DID IT!!! I POSTED!!

Alrighty, I am going to TRY my hardest to keep this blog up. I feel like I have NO time anymore and the time I do have....well I just don't want to spend it fighting with my computer. We have put all of our pictures onto a really big hard drive that is not on the computer and if makes the whole process of putting pictures onto it and then getting into it to create a blog a lot more time consuming. Anyways, here I am and I am going to (like I said) TRY to keep it up. I have been a really bad mom lately and have not taken any pictures of Miles. Poor kid. I know when you have another kid, the pictures are less and less...but I don't have another kid. So with that being said, if you are reading this and you have pictures of my child, (you know who you are!) send them my way!!

He has started to LOVE to just lay down on the floor for no reason.

So a lot has been going on lately. Miles is ALL over the place. He runs. He walks. He dances. You name it. He is a very busy little boy and has really started to do and say a lot of things. His new favorite thing to do is growl. Yep...growl. We read ALL day long. He is literally obsessed (takes after both his parents, sop we can't say anything). So we have this alphabet flash cards and the letter "L" is for Lion and I try to make the sounds and well...he is listening. This morning while we were watching Good Morning America he started growling and I wasn't really paying attention (I was on the computer and he was in his highchair eating) and I look up and there is a lion on tv. I swear it was SO funny. Wish I would have had a camcorder.

He loves to talk is pretty much babbling ALL day long. His favorite words are "no", "book", "car", "truck", "dada", "cup", "bye bye", "all gone", "again", and "up". And I should use the word 'favorite' losely b/c well, those are really the only words he knows. There are few others (that aren't coming to mind) but you get the idea.

He actually knows what "no" means and will tell ME no. Seriously. It has already started. If he doesn't want to do something it is "nay nay nay" and with a shake of his head to top it off. We have also been trying to work on eating with a fork and a spoon and that is going OK. He can definitely hold it and bring it to his mouth but he isn't good with putting force into fork where the food will actually get onto it. Instead, he likes to use the fork with one hand, pick up the food with the other and bring them both to his mouth. I guess he gets the concept. He is pretty darn good with the spoon and more often than not gets the food in his mouth...and a lot on his shirt. : )

Miles has really been enjoying the pool and LOVES to jump off the side. We really have to be careful with him because he will just start jumping, it is quite scary to say the least.

I am at a point where I think he needs some outside learning and playing, so hopefully with in the next few months he will either be in a preschool or learning center of some sort. It WILL NOT be full time...just 2 or 3 days. He LOVES other kids and I just feel a bit selfish to keep him with me all day. I know he will love it...even if I don't. : (
