Crawling!

Miles first long distance crawling was captured on video at Jason's parents' house on Christmas Day. I'm not really sure we're ready for this!

7 Months Old

Miles turns 7 months old today and he's busier than ever. The photo above was how I found him during a nap this weekend! He is very close to crawling, often up on his hands and toes, rolling all over and scooting backwards. Miles #1 priority is Roxy these days. He moves to be close to her on the floor and then pulls fist-fulls of dog hair from her body. Thankfully, Roxy is very patient. Miles is also more vocal than ever with constant babbling, clapping and new sounds (see previous 2 posts.) He is expanding his food repertoire eating applesauce, bananas, avocados, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots so far. Our favorite trick is his first lesson in cause & effect: he loves to turn the aquarium on & off in his crib to watch the fish move. Smart little guy! We're looking forward to a week and a half off from work to visit our families over the holidays! I suspect Miles will be crawling by the next post - watch out!

Clapping!

We've been practicing clapping for a few weeks now - this past Wednesday, Miles got it all put together and has been a clapping fiend since.

Baby Babble

Miles has a lot to say lately. Last week he just moved his mouth constantly like he was chewing. This week he's added sound, especially when talking to the doggie! Here's a small sample of what we hear all the time now.

6 Month Photo Shoot

We are very happy to share with you Miles' 6 month photo shoot. We hired Christine Wood photography (who is the sister of a friend) to come to our house and document our growing little boy. Enjoy him. We certainly do!
