For the days I need a break from the computer screen or Miles is just in one of those moods, our go-to's are 1. a walk or 2. Target. Both excellent options. On this particular day, we opted for Target. After meandering through the aisles, we made it out with the essentials = Food, diapers & *wine*. But, before heading to the checkout counter, I swiped one last thing. You would have done the same....trust me.
Once back at the house, we assumed our usual positions. Me at the computer and Miles? Well...usually here:
There's no complaining about this office location. The view is amazing. That is true until he crawls over and tries to suck on my toe. Talk about surprising!
On most days, Miles is happy just crawling around, playing and getting into mischief.

I like to try new foods every once in awhile just to gauge where Miles is and what he might be able to handle. We've had a lot of new foods lately. Cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, toast, greek yogurt, marshmallows, puffy Cheetos, oranges, tater tots, french fries, baked beans, spreadable cheese on crackers, fresh peaches, fresh pears, lasagna, breakfast bar annnnd maybe a donut (thanks Aunt Becky) - all on top of his normal baby foods. Not counting the donut, I'd say the lasagna and breakfast bar were his favorite. Your thoughts?

 |

I came to regret the breakfast bar pretty quickly. It was everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Up his nose, in his hair, in his eyelashes, in his ears, up his arms and all over his face, the table and the floor. That stuff is sticky. Maybe I'll wait a bit before doing this again...
Next on the list to try when I have a little more prep time: steamed carrots, cooked sweet potatoes, steamed peas and possibly some zucchini.
A couple weekends ago, Stephen installed Miles' swing in the backyard. It's getting to be such nice weather that porch sitting will be a must in the evenings. I wanted something fun for Miles to do on the porch, so the swing is perfect. It took him a couple days, but he soon realized the swing is fun fun fun.
The funniest and most unexpected moment was the reaction Miles had to the top of his bottle. Dude, this kept him busy for nearly 20 minutes straight. So funny.
And to top everything off, a few randoms to hold you over :)
