Summer fun

Miles loves playing outside. He gets to go to the park almost every day to play.

 Wood chips!
Slides are fun!
 Love the hair....

 Peek-a-boo!

We went to Five Mile Lake today. It was a beautiful day. Miles loved all the geese and ducks.



He loves the water.


Miles was having fun kicking a balloon around the apartment.


Miles has a new skill - jumping!

Moving

It's been a busy few weeks. We moved to a different apartment, so that took a lot of our time.

Miles has been busy trying to do everything we do. Including wearing our shoes.




All smiles for the camera.


Miles loves coloring pictures.
And his diaper.

He loves going upside down. He can even say "upside down" (up da do).




We have enjoyed exploring our new neighborhood while running.
And swimming in the pool at our new apartment complex.



Miles has figured out that he can tell us NO by shaking his head. He just started shaking his head YES, but I'm not sure if he knows what it means yet. He is definitely beginning to assert his independence. 

He has a few more words including:
-whoa
-ow
-down
-woof woof (he says it whenever he hears a dog bark while we're running)
-sand box
-water (his favorite Olympic event is water polo)
-toe
-shoe
-bottle
-towel
I'm sure he has more words, but that's all I can think of for now. He also knows the signs for more, milk, all gone/all done, and please. 

We moved into a larger apartment, so Miles finally has his own bedroom. We're still working on decorating it, but I'll get pictures up when we are done. He spent the first night in the new apartment in our bedroom (since he had spent the previous 15 months in our room). We tried letting him sleep in his own room the second night, and he been sleeping in there ever since. I'm so proud of how great he did with the transition!

Miles really enjoyed his food tonight. He was eating right off his plate...

More vacation!

More pictures from vacation in Aberdeen. Lunch at Culver's with uncle Spencer.
 Miles loved pushing the trike.

 Water!
Enjoying time with grandpa Jim



 Checking out animals at the zoo in Sioux Falls








 Miles feeding goats at the zoo in Sioux Falls.
We went to a water spray park in Sioux Falls. Miles was more interested in the flowers right away.
It took a little convincing to get into the water
 but he finally decided it would be fun to get wet.
 Kisses for great grandma Grace
 and great grandpa Pete on July 4th in Inwood
One evening Miles climbed up on the couch and passed out on my back in less than a minute. He must have been tired!
Enjoying a playdate with some friends at Lake Wilderness in Maple Valley today.


 Miles loved splashing in the water.

Words

I haven't updated with milestones in a long time. Miles has learned to say a lot of new words in the last few weeks:

Mama
Dada
Uh oh
Up (new yesterday)
Moo (when asked what a cow says)
Hoo hoo (when asked what an owl says)
Umbrella "um ba"
Ball
Balloon
Choo choo (when asked what a train says)
Vroom vroom (when asked what a car says or when he sees a car/truck)
Puppy "pa pa"
Simon "da ma"
Achoo "aaa doo" (mimicking me sneezing)
Blueberry "bu bu"

There are probably a few more, but that's all I can think of this early in the morning!

A few more pictures from vacation...
