9 Months Old!


Good Lord, time is flying! Miles turned 9 months old this weekend and he's growing and learning like crazy. The official stats this morning were 30" long (90%) and 21.4 lbs (60%). He has four teeth showing, (two top, two bottom,) and the doctor said that the next two on the top are soon to come. Miles now pulls himself up to stand on anything he can and is amazingly in control of most movements up and down with few crashes to the floor. He is eating almost everything we eat in small bites or through the blender. It's fun to see him understand us more and more. When we say "No, Thank You" he actually hesitates and turns to look at us before charging ahead toward impending danger! Miles and Roxy are also deepening their bond as they legitimately play together with toys now, handing things back and forth. We did get a funny report recently at day care (or baby work as we call it) that Miles was "biting" the other baby. I think it's his version of kissing, but we'll have to ask the other baby for his opinion on that one - ha!

Brave New Skills

Today, I'm not sure I'm excited to share these new baby skills with you all. We're moving quickly through the stages of development these days and it's so fun to watch Miles learn. By the way, he's OK at the end. :)
