Three Years Old

Miles is THREE YEARS OLD!

This little boy is a firecracker. He's exuberant, determined, steadfast, interested, smart, sweet, happy, giggly, observant and has crazy mad motor skills.

Yes. That's him under our bed, hiding from Carson so Carson didn't take his toy. haha!

He loves playing "YAR", fire trucks, tractors, mud trucks, riding bikes, fishing, ice pops, frogs, lizards and ALL the bugs.

"Mama! Wach da sneiwl"

His interests are building as he's gotten older and he's wanting to try everything by himself before asking for help. With a little guidance, and a mission at hand, he's has a high rate of figuring things out.

He loves the water and would spend all day outside if he could.

Miles is such a sweet big brother and makes sure Carson is feeling included. He loves to play with him - especially if that includes pushing or pulling him around with toys.

He hums or sings when he's eating something he likes.

Still a little hard to understand speech-wise, but we're making great progress. Highlights recently? Alexa started listening to him AND we've got a K sound!! Big deals around here. He's even started signing again with Carson :)

Loves rolling around with blankets and pillows. "Seep Mama. Seep" A big pillow pile is a favorite in this house.

Dance parties on the daily with Jojo's "big song" (still figuring out which one it is...)

He's a great friend and seems to play with everyone pretty equally. He's a "floater" during gatherings and likes to see what everyone is up to. He's happy playing alone or in a crowd. He's still learning to be a little more gentle, and both Stephen and I are realizing just how different "boy play" is as compared to "girl play."

This was a big deal. Finley has been in the cross fire of some of Miles' more rough and tough moments so she's been more timid around him. But, to see them laying and playing together was so awesome.

 This is Miles. Miles in a nutshell @ 3. We love you buddy!!
