Miles is eating lots of finger foods these days, and is getting very proficient at it! He eats green beans and peas and carrots and peaches and all sorts! The newest addition to the party spread is meats (chicken, beef, turkey, ham...) and some yogurt occasionally. He gets whole meals for dinner with meat, veggies, and the works! Gourmet! But I will say, I can't wait until he just eats what Andrew and I eat. Baby food has pushed me to the limits of my creativity!
He also cut two teeth a week or so ago! They are so cute! I miss his gummy-smile but besides the little teeth marks he leaves all over everything now, they seem to be making life easier! They really help with all the new foods.
Miles also watches Little Bear and it is his favorite show! The episodes are short and sweet so that helps with his attention span. He also likes to watch Baby Einstein, but doesn't get a lot of screen time as we still don't have a tv! I will say, sometimes I wish we did, but the nights when we sit and talk for an hour after dinner as we play with Miles reaffirm to me that we have made the right decision in not getting one for so long. Plus we have access to Netflix and the internet if we want to watch something.
Also, Miles is crawling all over and exploring his little world! So fun but so much trouble chasing after that kid! I thought our house was pretty kid friendly, but he finds mischief in every corner! I love seeing him peek around the corner, coming after me when I leave the room, or crawling across the carpet to get one of his toys back from a neighbor baby. He already has decided that sharing is not going to be in his vocabulary. Hopefully he outgrows that.
We have had time to go on a hike to Wind Caves recently with some of my siblings and their families. It has been a lot of fun having Jacob and his fam in town, though we don't get to see a ton of them. He is doing his rotation in Tucson and is there all week while Becca stays at her parents' house with the kids. But we see them on the weekends :) We also went fishing for Labor Day at Red Mountain Park in Mesa. It was really fun, even though we didn't catch anything!
BTW, I went to lunch with a friend to Applebee's for lunch and I have a new favorite order! Normally I get the Veggie Patch Pizza from the appetizer list cause it is super yummy with artichoke hearts and spinach and such, but I got the Wonton Tacos... To die for! If you are going any time soon or just entertaining the idea of going out to eat, go there and get those tacos! Kinda small, so get a side too, but dang.
Alright...there is so much more I could say, especially with a kid like Miles in our lives! Sorry this blog is practically all about every minute detail of his life but, oh well! And pictures:
