Miles continues to keep us busy and make us laugh. This past month, he:
- Seems to enjoy reading books with us more and more. He often picks a favorite book from the living room shelf and plops down on my lap to read. Current favorites include Go Dog, Go!, Goodnight Moon and That's Not My Puppy.
- Worked the room at baby storytime at the library when we went a few weeks ago. He walked around to each child in the room, touched him or her on the shoulder and bent down to make eye contact and smile. He is proving to be more social and fearless in social situations.
- Had his first real sickness other than a cold. A viral infection in his throat left him feeling pretty miserable and unable to eat anything but ice cream for four days. He whined a lot and wanted to be held most of the time. We felt his misery.
- Is a great helper around the house. He cleans up after meals by picking up crumbs under his highchair and throwing them in the garbage. He also helps put dishes away by handing them to me from the dishwasher.
- Very distinctly says "mine, mine" and "no"--often when his brother is present.
- Is taking more interest in TV, especially Sesame Street, which he'll watch for 10 minutes or more sitting on the couch next to Grant. As much as I've tried to protect the kids from too much TV time {especially Miles}, it's so sweet to see them sitting side-by-side enjoying something.
- Has finally adjusted to just one nap in the afternoon, and as a result is sleeping longer at night.
