Miles has discovered eyelashes. Not his own, ours.
Yesterday I was lying on the couch while he was cruising around the couch and coffee table. He came over to me for kisses, but stopped and started reaching for my eye. It looked like he wanted to poke it out, but he stopped and pinched and pulled my lashes. He then did it again, again, again....
It's amazing what is entertaining for a 11.5 month old.

R.I.P. 6 ozs of Blackberries
It's the Mexican berry season and they are super yummy. We went to the store yesterday and picked up his weekly fruit. At dinner, I gave him a couple of blackberries and he went crazy. Literally. Apey. As fast as I could get them on his tray, they were smeared all over his face and in his mouth. He went though the ENTIRE 6 ounce container in under 10 minutes. As much as he loves blueberries, blackberries are the one top.

Point of no return
We're so very proud of our little man! Miles crossed the playroom upright this morning! He had a few runs at it with varying degrees of success.
Notice his enthusiasm and glee in the video. He likes it...he really likes it. This is such a great milestone for Mr. Mr.
We're happy for you buddy - you're such a big boy!

Tooths
After a couple drooly and fussy weeks, Miles got his top 2 teeth. He has the next 2 top ones coming in soon, as well. It's hard to think of our little boy with a mouthful of teeth, he is just growing up so fast.
Weekend update
Miles is the best little boy ever.
But that is besides the point.
On Saturday morning, some new friends came over for brunch. She is 6 months pregnant and we talked a lot about pregnancy and the first year of childhood. Miles was asleep when they arrived, but was charming once he woke up. The clouds were closing in on Saturday morning, so we took the opportunity to eat on our deck. Miles played around our knees and we had a lovely visit.
On Saturday afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa Reeth came in from Reno where they were hosting cousins Cody and Kylie for the week. Kevin and Jeannie met them at our house to reclaim their children. Miles is totally obsessed with his cousins. They played great with him, Kylie was very attentive to everything Miles and Cody was great at building up blocks that Miles could topple over.
After they left, we took Miles out for a walk and a visit at the park. We got him back on the swings and he had a blast. He also is now at the stage where he can start playing on the playground apparatuses like the train. He cruised throughout it, moving from one car to another. He loved looking out the windows at the 4 of us, and played his own version of peekabo.
The weather came in on Saturday afternoon, and we were house-bound after that. Sunday was a lazy day with the grandparents - which made is super exciting for Miles. I think it it wonderful that he has so many people that are more than happy to get down on the floor and crawl after him. He loves the games, the attention, and mostly the love. He is free with his kisses and just lights up when he sees them.

6 steps!!
Albeit little ones.
Miles walked about a foot and half this morning while holding onto a block much to his mom's, dad's and grandma's delight! He has great balance and can easily stand on his own, but he still isn't so confident moving his little feet. He does pretty well when he is distracted (thus the block) but isn't yet confidently moving forward. It's pretty clear that he is going to be mobile very soon.
