How many balls can he hold at once?

3??

More than that!

4!!!

Next we're going to work on 5 :)

Here's a video that shows Miles on his "wild" side :)

More Miles Time

Kaylan brought Miles over while she went to spinning on Wednesday, so we were able to get more playing time in. And I did remember to take pictures and a couple of cute videos :)

Here's a little Sesame Street dance for you!

And here's him showing off his puzzle skills :)

And for the grand finale...Here's what he likes to do to Uncle Derrick right before he jumps on him! :)

Sleepover with Miles

This last weekend we had a sleepover with Miles.  Kaylan and T.J. brought him over after his nap, and we spent the evening doing lots of playing!  When Derrick got home from work, we took him outside to this large grass field by our apartments and did lots of running/ball throwing.  We saw a few airplanes too, and the babe sure does love airplanes! 

On our way home, we took him by a couple of small ponds by our apartment, one with a fountain.  We were lucky to see a family of ducks, and Miles loved looking at them.  We ended the night with a bath and some ice cream! :) 

Derrick had to work super early the next morning, so Miles and I got up and had a yummy breakfast and watched a little Sesame Street before daddy came to get him.  I was a bad auntie and didn't take any pictures or videos from that weekend. 

On a side note, after T.J. picked up Miles, I went and donated blood here at our apartment complex, and I won a $50 gift card to Kohl's!  Whoohoo!  :)

Sleepover!

Last Sunday night we had Miles over for a sleepover to give Kaylan and TJ a night off.  We had tons of fun playing, singing, and dancing with only a little bit of snuggling in there, but don't tell Miles I told you!

Sometimes his toys aren't good enough, so he was wearing our gym membership passes around :)

And he definitely has a bit of a shoe fetish!

He was so excited when Derrick go thome from work.  They had a clapping war at dinner :)

(I can't ever get YouTube to work for me on here, so I hope this video works!)
Did you see the little dance with Rafie in the middle and the fast feet at the end? :)

Then they played until bath time.

With some hugs! :)

And of course we had to add some danger with this death-defying stunt!!

We were all wore out by bedtime.  I think Miles might have still been a little tired the next morning too!

We had fun having the little guy stay with us!  And I think Kaylan and TJ loved it too, so it just might be happening more often, which is fine with us!!

Miles Playdate

Saturday afternoon Kaylan and TJ wanted to have a date day, so I came over and watched Miles.  We played a TON.  He is so busy these days and so funny.  He picks up on everything and repeats a lot of what you say.  Basically his favorite thing to do all day was get into trouble...  He climbs up here a lot just to check out the scenery, but he can't exactly get down very well.

And he also is very into throwing all his balls down the stairs, over the baby gate.  So to get him to stop doing that, we started a new game called bounce, bounce.  He had a few balls in the kitchen, and we just bounce them. :) Sounds tricky, huh?

[Semi] Wordless Wednesday

Derrick and I babysit Miles {almost} every Sunday night while Kaylan and T.J. go to their small group.  This last Sunday, I brought some glow sticks over that I just happened to have leftover from Jen's bachelorette party.  We put some in the tub with him and turned off the lights.  Needless to say, he loved it!!!  (Obviously, I got this idea off of Pinterest!)  I will say it wasn't too much fun getting them away from him at bedtime.  He seriously loved them!! 

If you want to try this, go to Target and check out the dollar bins.  I can always get glow sticks there for $1 for 15 bracelets.  Trust me, it's the cheapest you will find them!

Swinging and Chillin' in the Recliner

Tuesday I babysat Miles for a few hours in the morning.  During that time, we got lots of playing in!  It has been really nice here (and I was sweating inside playing!), so we went outside for a swing.  After about 20 minutes, Miles got his hat off and looked like this.

Then we went inside and watched a little Sesame Street!  He LOVES the theme song.  If you play it, he will stop whatever he's doing, plop in front of the TV, and do a little dance for you!  It's too cute.  Today he climbed up in his recliner for the first time, so we watched lots of Sesame Street!

Wordless Wednesday

Check this stud out!

Who did you think I was talking about???! :)

He's getting so big!  "I'm just standing here, all by myself, drinking my milk..."  Oh, the life of a one year old! :)

Miles is 1

It's hard to believe this little man is 1 already!!

It seems like just yesterday we were holding him for the first time!  Now he has all sorts of new tricks and is growing up too fast!  He learned to wave a month ago, but just today he told my bye-bye for the first time!  :)
