Miles Meets Some Fish

This weekend, Tim's brother Kevin played the part of the single Dad as Jeannie was out of town. As such, we all decided to go down to Monterey Bay Aquarium where Miles went crazy with his cousins and got a good dose of fish. Miles spent a bunch of the morning chasing Kiely and Cody around, then we all had lunch together. Afterwards, we headed back to the aquarium where Miles sacked out in his stroller for an hour. Part of the joy of parenthood is being able to look at things with the lens of a child seeing things for the first time, and it was wonderful! For a little more than the cost of 2 tickets, we became members of the aquarium, which means we have to go back!!!

Dude loves corn...

We were up in Soda Springs this weekend, and I decided to throw some corn on the cob at Miles to see how he would do. He did great! And we ended up feeding him corn all weekend. I can't tell if it is the actual corn itself, or the newness in eating something differently. He is recently really interested in no more bite sized pieces and likes to pick up a bigger piece and take his own bites. He is growing up so fast!!

Sunday Morning in Soda

I know this is a longer video than we normally post, but I am doing it for myself who likes to take a moment (or 2) at work and watch Miles. This was just our morning. Miles was going nuts with the sound machine and just going about his business. He is such a good little guy, and we really enjoy just hanging out with him.

First Weekend at Soda Springs!

Last weekend, we opened up our cabin in Soda Springs. We arrived early on Saturday morning, after a night at the Motel 6 in Auburn. Miles fell asleep on the road in, and as he finished his nap in the car, Tim and I moved furniture. We finally work him up and got on with our day. Though filled with unpacking, cleaning, and hauling mattresses, it was a great weekend. Miles took some tumbles and came home with new bruises and scratches, but nothing he (or I) couldn't handle. We are starting to plan our summer up there and really look forward to having Miles as a little boy up there.

Miles and the slide...

As we wait for daycare to start, Miles and his dad have been spending a ton of time on playgrounds. Miles is trying to learn how to go down slides. At this point, I think he has mastered it, but documented is his journey...

Nothing is more fun than dismanteling the pantry...
