March

Our little Miles is something else. I'm not sure how he has so much spunk but he goes and goes and goes from sun up til sun down. And we love it. Well, we do get really tired chasing him around but we still think he is funny. Here is a recap of ole MBD in the last month.

-He loves to look underneath closed doors. Weird, I know but he gets down on the floor and tries to look underneath, he especially loves it when there is a light on behind the closed door and it shines through just a little bit.

-He likes to stomp his feet when he gets his shoes on. It kind of looks like he's tap dancing but for Ben's sake, lets say he's stomping.

-He tries (keyword: tries) to repeat everything you say, and is quite chatty and loud. He'll talk to strangers, norm, yells out the windows, etc. Pretty friendly little guy.

-Obsessed with the great outdoors. Could walk aimlessly around all day up and down the driveway, looking at plants, picking up mulch, and "chasing" norm. I got him a "water table" because I love how much bright colored plastic looks on our deck. Such a nice touch. Never say never.

-Claps. Seems like other babies did this a lot earlier but he is just now clapping. And it's a wild clap. He's even been seen sitting up in his crib and clapping when he wakes up.

-Likes sitting on the porch listening to the little white dog across the street (named marshmallow I might add) bark at everything/everyone. He likes it. Ben and I on the other hand have different feelings about marshmallow.

-Parks. We hit up the park behind our house every few days at least and he really likes watching big kids play. Its like he thinks he knows what they are talking about and is always trying to get in on their conversations.

-I've started taking him to LePeep for breakfast on Fridays. Ben's work has started back full force so I thought breakfast on Fridays would be good for M and I. Plus every other week the cleaning ladies are there so we can get out of their way. He does great. Except he stares people down. For example: this guy. He thought he was going to go have coffee and a nice breakfast. Instead he has a baby turned around 90 degrees in his high chair staring him down for 30 minutes. The poor guy was trying to act like he was busy on his blackberry (that i'm sure he didn't know how to use) and would look up every now and then and smile at Miles, to which Miles would laugh and keep staring. It was awkward. I couldn't distract him with anything. Jelly packets, pancakes, cheerios, bananas, sippy cup, toys. I'll just have to face Miles out to the restaurant next time so he can see everyone!
