Months of Miles: 8 months



 Diaper Size: 5

Clothes size: Mostly 12 months

Things you love: eating, your thumb, your brother, being talked or sung to, peek-a-boo, teething toys, your thumb, rolling all around the room, sitting up, talking.

Things you don't love: being put down alone, waiting on food in your high chair, when we won't let you eat grass.

Milestones:  You are sitting up, rolling all around, and pushing up on your arms all the time.  When you're sitting you can reach really far forward and then get back into sitting easily.  Still no signs of crawling, but we're also not in a rush or pushing you to it!  You have mostly dropped your cat nap at the end of the day and with the shift in naps you are now awake for all 3 of our meals and you love to eat.  You're eating all kinds of finger foods--so far there isn't much that I've offered that you won't eat.  You seem to love anything spread on a biter biscuit (we've done yogurt, avocado, and liver pate-- you've gobbled them all up but are less interested if we offer the rest on a spoon), meats (ground meat, torn up grilled chicken, cut up sausage, etc.), and apples.  You also have definitely found your voice and in addition to lots of babbling you've started doing lots of yelling to let us know you don't like something!  We transitioned out of the Merlin Magic Sleep Suit and into a sleepsack and you transitioned like a champ!

**You saw your first Texas snow this month!**


Sweet baby Miles what a month.  We got to celebrate your first Christmas with both sides of the family and kick off a new year together.  It snowed for the first time here in a long time and you seemed to enjoy being out in it.  You are loving exploring all of your toys, especially your new Little People set. You still have the biggest and sweetest smile and you love being with any of us.  You are so snuggly most of the time and I cherish those snuggly moments.  It's really fun to see your personality start to develop as you get more and more opinionated about things.  We are so thankful for you my little Miles-a-moo!
