What sound does a piggy make?

Miles figured this one out on his own...

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day with the Reeths... all of them... up in Shasta this year. I have never been up there an it was simply beautiful. We stayed at a great resort near the mountain, and spent tons of time outdoors, hiking along lakes and waterfalls. While we weren't the best parents about setting time for Miles to sleep in his crib, he did pretty well sleeping in the ergo baby carrier on me and Tim. When we got home, he did take a MONSTER nap to make up for his loss of sleep over the weekend!

... Long overdue

As much as I love to blog about ur family, it seems to be the first thing to drop off my plate when things get hectic... and hectic they have been!

The big news: We are no longer with our nanny share. We think Miles needs a little more social interaction than he was getting and we are enrolling him in an in-home daycare run by the in-laws of one of our groomsmen. This was a very hard decision, and I still have working mom's guilt about it, but we believe it is the right next step for his care. He starts in about 10 days. We are super sad to see our nanny go, but hopefully she can stay in Miles' life as a babysitter - and who knows, maybe Tim and I will actually go out on a date?!?!?

Drum roll please

Mr.Mr. clearly has the Dalton musical gene. Any two sticks and bleacher will do. I love the last stick he picks up...you may not be able to hear it, but he blows into the end of it like a clarinet.

Another Molar??

So I was reading that the top molars come may come in earlier than the bottom - so I ran a finger through Miles' mouth last night at dinner, and sure enough, he has another one up there. 10 teeth!!

And then there was one...

Nap that is.

It seems Miles is dropping a nap. While he has never been a truly great napper - opting for more and shorter naps - he seems to be making his way down to one. Over the last several days he has either taken a morning or an afternoon nap for about an hour - but never both. Today Tim is experimenting with moving to an early afternoon nap. We are holding our breath that he gets at least 90 minutes before he is up and at 'em, but we'll see!

Holy Molar!

I was so pleased that Miles was growing in his 8th tooth (bottom left hand side), when Tim, Grandma and Grandpa all pointed out to me that he has a molar that is mostly grown in (bottom right hand side). Apparently they saw it when he laughed - and they were right. 9 teeth! And I can't believe he is being this settled about it!!
