Miles Update:
My little Smiles is 10 months old! He has 8 teeth that he loves to use (bite/chew/etc.) He is getting more and more blond hair. At his 9 month appt. he was 19.4 lbs (25%), 29.75 inches (90%). He is long and lean!!
He just moved up into 12 month clothes and wears a size 3 diaper.
He loves to eat and has really taken a liking to table food. He likes to feed himself and doesn't want the jars of baby food anymore. Unfortunatly, I still have quite a few in the pantry, so he is being forced to eat them. He still nurses 3-4 times per day and drinks 2-3 5 ounce bottles at daycare. He holds his own bottle and has been doing that for months.
His favorite toys are things that he puts in his mouth that he shouldn't. He loves to bang and bang.
He can crawl fast like a bandit and pull himself up to stand. He will stand by anything, so we have to watch him very closely. He can navigate a few stairs and sometimes will faceplant.
Miles takes two naps of about 1.5 hours each.

Ronan opening his first birthday gift.
Ronan is my little spit-fire. He is so funny and all-boy. He loves to play outside, watch NickJr., and play with his garbage truck/cars/anything Miles is already playing with. He can ride his tricycle out to the road, spell his name, and count to 20 (sometimes 30, but not reliably). He loves to ask which direction we are facing and does pretty good recalling it. He will ride the lawn mower for hours with Grandpa Jim or Dad. He likes to help in the garden and wash the cars.
Favorite recent Ronan question to me: "Are you a princess, Momma?" (My answer: "Yes, yes, of course I am!")
Ronan has started potty-training with the start of his new daycare. He couldn't go to the next room (3 y/o room) until he was potty-trained. This has been quite challenging, but after 1 month of no diapers he is now pretty reliably going in the big potty. He doesn't like the little potty for some reason. At one point during this process he did not pee for 19 hours straight!! How is that possible? He is usually dry overnight and thru naps. He refuses to poop on any potty, so we are still working on that. If he does have an accident he usually tells me that he "Just spilled a little water, Momma."
Ronan always says the prayer at dinner. He usually cracks us up for some reason. Recently he has prayed for the weatherball, for the milker (aka the breast pump), and for his cup/apple juice/ravioli or whatever he sees in front of him.
Ronan's 3 year appt went well. He is 40" tall (90%) and 38.4 lbs (75%).
His favorite books right now are any of the Curious George books. Favorite place to eat...McDonalds (don't judge, you know it is delicious!).
Daycare updates:
The boys started at their new daycare on July 30 (Ronan's 3rd birthday). Things have been going well after a big adjustment for Ronan James. They started full-on potty training at the new daycare. Ronan has to stay in the 2-3 y/o room until he is potty trained. We sent him in undies on the first day and he has been in them ever since. AFter lots of refusing to go (19 hours without peeing or having an accident), we have finally made some progress. The boy likes the shower better than any potty, but I will take it! He is doing well there and Miles loves it too.
Notes:
6/12/12 While outside at 420 pm, Ronan ate sand. We flushed his mouth out with water! (This made me laugh...had to share)
8/21 Ronan used dot paints to paint his clown (he doesn't like clowns by the way).
He dug a big hole in the sand with Eli and Colin and counted. He went ont he potty twice.
8/21 Miles S. (There is another little boy in Miles room with the same name!)
Miles loves standing! He likes to play with our leapfrom table and playskool spinning table because he can stand up to them. :)
*We are working on not throwing plates and utensils @ meals and using our signs for "more" and "all done".
Still atking a morning and afternoon nap and ate very well (waffles, pizza, applesauce/goldfish) and using a sippy cup.
