18 Month

Miles is now 18 months old (well 19 by the time I'm writing this)!  He is such a big boy.  In fact, as I type, he is sleeping in his new big boy toddler bed.  I didn't think we'd be switching to a bed so early but since he learned how to climb out of his crib, we really didn't have a choice.  Miles is all boy!  He loves to climb everything, play outside (in the dirt), and isn't afraid of anything.  We had our first hospital visit  this past month when he got a nice gash in his head. Lucky we avoided stitches and got it glued instead! But we were back at the doctor less than a week later to get it checked out because he managed to bump the same spot again!

This kid loves to learn! I amazed at how his mind works and how creative he can be with his toys.  His favorite activity right now is doing puzzles.  He can take them apart and put them back together very quickly. Even when we have pieces from different puzzles mixed in together, he can still find the correct puzzle to put them on.  He's still not doing a lot of talking but he is very focused on other learning aspects and really improving in his fine motor skills.  He does like to say (and wave) bye and he loves to call Rylie all the time.  Still no mom and dad, but at least he knows the dog's name right? He loves to play with water.  He will take any chance he gets, from bathtub, to my water glass, to the dog water bowl.  He will find whatever he can to scoop and pour the water back and forth. I love sitting and playing with him to see all the stuff he comes up with.
Most of all, he is being a terrific big brother! If Jordan cries, he runs to her and gives her a kiss on the head. He also loves to hold her. They are so sweet together and I am looking forward to their relationship growing.
