19 months

Miles is 19 months! He's wearing 24 month/2T clothes and size 7 shoes. Here are a few of his new tricks:
- talking in sentences of 3-5 words
- jumping down from the couch or anything else he can climb
- climbing up chairs to get on the table or counter
- helping me cook by mixing ingredients
- telling us everything he wants, needs, and all of his opinions
- eating whole foods by himself



Blogger has decided that I have uploaded too many pictures, so I will be creating a new blog for pictures. Stay tuned for details.

Pumpkin carving

We carved Miles's pumpkin today. He loved helping dig the pulp out of the pumpkin. He did get bored when he had to stay out of the way of the knife, so he left to play until I was done.

Miles and I ran a 5k yesterday for Halloween. He enjoyed the pouring rain, and I loved the run. We finished 2nd for my age group in 26:40. I think I would have won my age group if I wasn't pushing the stroller, but it was more fun to run with Miles! Not the best quality pictures - I forgot the camera at home so we had to use my phone. They will be emailing the race pictures sometime this week, so I'll post that later.

We caught Miles giving Kitty loves. It was so adorable, and she finally didn't run away from him.

Miles practiced drinking from a "big boy" cup and spilled a bit so I was cleaning it up with a paper towel using my foot. He wanted to clean up too.

18 months!

               Miles is 
                       18 months old
                                       32 1/4 inches tall
                                                   and weighs 25 lb 13.5 oz.

We attempted bear pictures, but he didn't stay in the same place long enough to look at the camera.

Miles loves his sweater from Great Aunt Linda

 He's getting more adventurous climbing the cat tree. One of these days he'll be sitting on top.

We took a break from shopping to play at the mall yesterday.
