Miles 1 year old!

It is time for an update on our smiley Miles. What a sweetie our second born is.....unless you are trying to take something away from him or get him to do something that clearly is not what he intends to do...then he is just like his big brother.....sassy! He lays right on the floor and screams. He also sasses whenever I leave daycare. Ronan never cared, so that is a new thing for us. Miles is my little cuddle bug. He loves to hunker down with his little head on our shoulders. I just love it!

 

Miles loves to play with his big brother. He never takes his eyes off of him. Sometimes the two of them can be very naughty! (playing, screaming, throwing food, giggling) It is so fun to see the 2 brothers together. Ronan will commonly ask "Can I play with Miles?" or "Where is Miles" or "I need to give this goldfish to Miles".

  Miles turned the big 1 year old on 10/20. We had a great day and had about 25ish family and friends over for a Halloween 1st Birthday Extravaganza.

 Ronan and I made the cake that Miles ate and my mom decorated it. We thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing. I guess you had to be there.

 The kiddos at the party with their costumes on. Poor little Stella. She's was such an angel and the star of the party, but she isn't too happy in the picture.

 Miles loved to eat his cake and was VERY messy afterward. He went right into the bath.

 Miles even tried to open a few presents. He got a drum set, a train, books, gift cards, trucks, a laptop, finger paint....and more.

First words: Jim and I disagree, but I say he said "all done" at 10 months. Now he is chattering up a storm. He says Mama, Dada, all done, uh oh, ho ho ho, hi, bye, and what's that.

 

Miles has 9 teeth and is getting 3 more molars. The poor child! He is still a biter. Ronan recently got a good one on the forehead. Eight little teeth marks, nice and deep.

 

1 year doctor's appt:

Height 31" (75-90%)

Weight 22 lbs (25-50%)

Head is full of lots of brains and is in the 75-90%

 

Miles is such a good eater and stopped his bottles just after his birthday. He now eats all kinds of table food and drinks his milk from a sippy. Still nursing just a little before bed. Every day his daycare report lists "ate well" beside all meals and snacks.

 

Miles waves bye-bye and blows kisses. He also give kisses. Once he starts kissing, you had better be ready for about 6-7 forceful ones. Then he will give them all around.

 

Sleeping through the night (finally) and goes to bed about 8pm. He takes 1-2 naps per day (1 at daycare, 2 at home). He is somewhat of a light sleeper, but goes back to bed easily. He wakes up between 630-730 on most days.
