Miles these days

So I figured that I would go ahead and update everyone on what Miles has been up to. These past few months have really been a lot of fun! Miles has suddenly turned into this little man and I am not so sure how I feel about him growing up so fast on me. Here are some things that Miles is doing.

* He is crawling ALL over the place.

* He is eating pretty much whatever we eat. He very rarely gets baby food.

* He cruises all around our couch and will even pull himself up on the highchair and push it around our kitchen.

* He walks everywhere with his dinosaur walker.

* He took 2 steps while in Florida, but hasn't really done it since.

* He will walk holding onto us, ie: either onto our hands or while holding onto our pants while we walk backwards.

* He says Dada and knows what it means.

* He still only says Mama when he is crying or not getting his way...with Dada.

* His newest "word" is Gaga. I am not sure what he is trying to say, but he says it ALL the time.

* He waves hello and bye bye and knows what it means.

* He will sign to me that he is "all done", but only if I ask him if he is all done.

* He laughs at us when we tell him no. (Oh no!)

* He adores the song "moon river" and it is one of the only songs that he will calm down to.

* He gives kisses when asked for them.

* He only takes his sippy cup now. No more bottles. Although, we are still working on a hard spout sippy. He is VERY particular about his sippy. : )

* He has a STRONG attachment to his "Mr. Frogs." Did I say strong? I mean we can't leave home with out it.

* He still hates to be read to. : ( I am told this will pass soon, and I sure hope it does! He is just too busy for me to read to him.

* He is in size 4 diapers and I think he will be there for a looooonnnng time. Hopefully we can get him potty trained before we have to go to size 5. (Fingers crossed!)

* He hates shoes and socks. (More of a reason to move to an island somewhere.)

That is all that is coming to mind right now. I am sure I am forgetting something, but you get the idea.

In just a few days my baby boy will be 11 months old and I CAN'T believe it! I am currently in the process of figuring out his first birthday party plans and that just seems so crazy to me. Isn't he still my 5lb 9oz baby boy that was so tiny he didn't even fit into his preemie clothes?
