16/17 weeks!

We had a busy couple of weeks, and I started working again so there is less time to update the blog. Sad! 

I have a few days off this week, so expect more updates soon. :)

Miles this week:

-Miles is 17 weeks old!

-He loves talking and making new sounds. He talks to his toys, he talks while I read him books, he talks to us. 

-He is starting to sit unsupported if we prop him up with his hands. 

-He is starting to tolerate tummy time for longer periods of time.

-He is drooling like crazy and chewing on everything - must be teething.

We made a delicious dessert. Thanks to Liz for posting the recipe. Chocolate chip cookie dough, double stuffed Oreos, and brownie batter layered in a 13x9 pan...

And the finished product. It's also great topped with ice cream. You know, just in case you didn't already fall into a sugar-induced coma.

15 weeks!

Miles is 15 weeks old today! This past week, he has:

-Rolled from back to belly a few more times.

-Scooted forward over the boppy during tummy time.

-Tried sitting independently, and was able to hold himself up for a couple of seconds before toppling over.

-Discovered his feet.

-Decided on a few favorite toys.

-Gone for a couple of walks in the stroller without the car seat.

-Survived a 9-mile run with me. That's a long time to be in the car seat/stroller.

We went on a walk and stopped for some pictures on the bench. He enjoys looking at the camera when I take pictures now.

Tummy time with adorable arm rolls.

Napping with Jared after a long walk around the neighborhood looking at garage sales. We found a baby gate for 50 cents! Hopefully it will be a while before we have to start using it, but we couldn't pass up a deal like that.

 Hanging out on the couch.

Om nom nom...

 Had to turn the boppy because he thought it would be fun to dive for his feet.

Cuddling with his giraffe.

The blog has had some serious lack of Kitty and Simon lately.

Simon managed to fall out of our 2nd story window a week ago. He scraped his lip, but otherwise appears fine. I think the trip to the vet to get checked out was more traumatizing than the fall.

Giggling with Jared after the 9 mile run.

Giggles

Miles rolled from his back to his belly today! Then got very frustrated that he put himself on tummy time...

I took several videos of him after the roll to catch one, but he was having too much fun on his back. We did manage to get a few giggles on video:

Fun at the Park

We went for a nice long walk on Saturday and stopped by a park when Miles was awake. 

More faces of Miles. Love my adorable little guy.

And a video.

Videos

My post was so long on Monday that I was afraid to add the videos. 

Miles playing with his rattle.

The many faces of Miles.

Miles playing with his blue bear. And chewing on his hand.

Miles and Jared

Finally caught a tiny giggle on camera. Miles had a few good ones right before Jared turned the camera on, and usually shuts down as soon as the camera is on. Jared hid behind me for this one so Miles didn't see the camera. Fast forward to about 1:30 to catch the giggle and skip my random noises. :)
