Happy New Year!

We had a busy Christmas vacation. Miles spent a lot of time with his friends, opened a lot of great presents, and celebrated the new year with us at home.

Miles enjoyed decorating cookies on Christmas Eve with friends. They all thought it was hilarious to climb in the dog kennel. He opened Christmas presents on Christmas day, quickly figuring out what to do. He made sure to hand us every tiny scrap of paper he tore from the presents so we could put the paper in the trash. His big gift from us was a rocking puppy like the one he loves at the gym.


We went to Zoo Lights at Point Defiance Zoo on Christmas. It's basically a huge display of lights at the zoo. Most of the animal exhibits were blocked off, but we did get to see the aquarium and baby tigers.

On New Year's Eve, we had a play date at the Children's Museum in Tacoma. Miles loved playing at the water tables. He made a shaker with an empty water bottle, rice, beans, and paper. He climbed and explored the indoor playground equipment and loved watching the balls go through the air tubing (similar to the bank drive-up). We celebrated New Year's Eve at home with Miles. I can't believe how much he has grown this year!

Miles is learning his colors, and is very consistent with naming everything that is blue and green, and is fairly consistent with orange. He can find colors when we ask including red, yellow, purple, pink, white, and black. He loves counting everything, but usually skips the number 5 when he's counting quickly. He loves coloring and painting, building towers with blocks (and knocking them over), making baskets in his basketball hoop, and helping with chores.

Miles really wanted to play peek-a-boo in this video:

Here's another video of Miles playing:
