Miles update

I feel like Miles has really grown up in the last month.

First, he started signing. We have been signing to Miles since he was born, but it finally clicked for him in the last month, after we started showing him the Baby Signing Time DVD.  He loves watching it.  Now he can sign milk, banana, food, more, and all done.  Today he brought me an empty bag of raisins, handed it to me, and signed more.  It was amazing.

Second, he likes putting things away.  Let's hope this is a permanent characteristic.  He'll take something out of its place (i.e. DVDs, books, pots, etc) and at least try to put it back where he got it.

Third, we recently switched to one nap a day.  He was getting up earlier in the morning, taking forever to fall asleep in his crib at nap time sometimes, and one or both of his naps were much shorter than usual.  I am very excited about the change.  He seems to have adjusted very quickly.

Fourth, he can do tricks like waving, high fives, itsy bitsy spider, peekaboo, so big (sometimes) and maybe some others that I can't think of right now.

Fifth, he loves to hand stuff to people.  A lot of times he wants to put it directly in your mouth (isn't that where everything goes?).  And he likes to share his food too.  What a sweetie.

Sixth, he loves playing with the recycling.  It is very exciting stuff.  Gotta love those milk cartons!

Seventh, he loves to blow bubbles (or drink) the bath water.

Here is a video of him signing the word more...


Waving (and saying?!?) bye bye
