ONE!

Miles is already 1 year old! When did that happen?

Miles had his 12 month well-baby checkup yesterday. Miles is 23 pounds 5 ounces and 29.5 inches tall. His pediatrician thinks the height measurement is a big short, so he's actually probably just over 30 inches tall. Miles had 3 different immunizations yesterday too. Now they go in his arm. Poor little guy screamed for the MMR. It didn't last too long though. He just needed some cuddles with his mama.

It's close to 70 degrees today. Miles and I went to the park after getting him a new pair of shoes from the consignment store. Converse shoes just like his mama!

Can't forget about Miles's bear pictures!

One of Jared's friends sent cupcakes for Miles. He had a lot of fun with it. And they were delicious!

Video of Miles walking on his birthday. He walks all the way across the gym when Jared takes him now.

Walking!

Miles started walking on Friday! He now walks all the way across the living room when he wants to. He also started talking more. Well, babbling, but he is quite vocal.

Here's a video of him walking on Thursday, just a few steps.

And him walking on Friday. He walked up to 8 steps in a row on Friday.

Miles also thought his turtle was hilarious.

We went to a park yesterday for a little bit. Miles really enjoyed the slide. He wasn't too sure about the rubber turf under the playground equipment. He did enjoy climbing the fake rocks.

Happy Easter

Miles is lucky enough to celebrate Easter twice before his first birthday. Last year:

This year:

He didn't care too much for Miles the bunny this year either:

We also went to the park today. It was about 70 degrees! Miles's first experience in sand. He didn't quite know what to think.

 He found a rock...

 and promptly tried to eat it. Don't worry, I caught it just in time!

 Love my little man.

Miles really hated the grass. We'll work on that...

He was attempting to crawl to me but couldn't figure out how to do it without touching the grass.

 Done.

He did enjoy the slide.

And flying through the air.

Miles still loves balloons.

Miles really enjoys yogurt for breakfast. And a yogurt goatee.

Park

The sun came out today, so Miles and I headed to a park in Federal Way. Steel Lake Park, to be exact. It was a great day. Perfect weather, bright sun. Now Miles is napping - playing is a lot of work!

He loved the swing.

And the tires.

They had swings, a few slides, and a lot of things for climbing. Miles really enjoyed watching the other kids play. There were a few younger kids there (18 months-2 years), but mostly school-age kids. One little girl came up and told us how adorable Miles is. Of course I know that, but she was only 6! It was really sweet.

We met another mom and little boy while we were playing. He's just over a year older than Miles. We even exchanged numbers to get together in the future! 

Here's another video from last week.
