He kept showing it off to me like he had found the coolest thing ever created.
And then he gave me a preview for when he is a teenager, and is too lazy to get a glass.....things to look forward to I suppose.

Straight from the carton....
Miles is coming victoriously from the kitchen holding the empty milk jug that was set aside for recycling. It was his favorite thing for an hour or so.

Shapes
Miles has begun to enjoy sorting his toys. We have an old animal craker jug that he will put his toys in and out of. He gets really frustrated when something is too big to fit into it. Here he is with his shape sorter. He can't do the shapes by himself because he won't find the right side, but with help he is a pro.
It is so fun to see him learning these things, and his tendencies to want to put things away. (hooray for me!)

Friday Flashback!
Well, My sister Jen was good enough to give kudos to my sister and her husband on the day of their anniversary, but I am sure it is no surprise to anyone that I didn't remember. Instead they are getting their very own flashback Friday!!!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from their beautiful wedding.
Amanda and John's first dance.
Father-Daughter dance.
My niece Taylor was an excellent flower girl, looking adorable in her peach and green dress.
My nephew Tate, looking a little confused by the giant flower pinned to his shirt.
Congratulations on another great year in love! May the next be overflowing with joy, adventure, laughter, and love!

His Favorite Hat
Its hardly a summer hat, but Miles found it in my hat drawer and fell in love. He doesn't wear it long, but he wants so badly for me to put it on his head, or for me to wear it myself. He looks pretty ridiculous, especially when it is over 90 degrees out :)

The Stats are In
Since Miles had an ear infection on his birthday the doctor couldn't give him his shots, and he was so ornery that he wouldn't let them weigh him or take any measurements. We went to his follow-up appointment this morning and got to get all of that done.
Drum roll please.....
weight: 23 pounds, 12 ounces.....50-75th percentile
head circumference: 18.5 inches......50-75th percentile
height: 33.5 inches.......above the 97th percentile
No huge surprises there. He is sitting in the same percentiles that he usually does. I was recently put to shame with my bragging about how big Miles is, when my friend Carrie posted that her 4 month old was over 17 pounds....over 17 pounds!!! The doctor recommended that we take him to an eye doctor because she thinks one may be lazy. I have no idea what that means or entails, but I am sure the eye doctor will answer all my questions.
The rest of the doctors appointment was horrendous. First they drew blood from his right arm, then gave him shots in the back of both legs, then poked him with a TB test in his left arm. He screamed bloody murder the entire time, and we needed to ask another nurse to come in and help us hold him down....three of us on top of him. He had his blanket the whole time, but nothing would calm him. When they finished I picked him up and he was just whimpering in my arms....it was heartbreaking. Thank goodness that is over. He is napping now, and I hope he sleeps for 4 hours.

Friday Flashback!!!!
Since Mile hit the big year mark this week, I figured it was only appropriate to take us back.
1 month....he pretty much slept the whole time (thank goodness)
2 months, loving his bouncy chair.
3 months, still pretty mellow.
4 months....smiles smiles smiles.

Haircut.
Before....
After....
My Dad will be so happy to see the Miles got a much needed haircut. Our first attempt turned out pretty awful, but I think we spruced it up pretty well by the end of things.

A Rainy Day.
As most of you know by know, the park is a big event for Miles everyday. We get his shoes and socks on, some snacks and water together, and set up the stroller. Well on Sunday we did all of this only to open the door and see it pouring down rain. What!!? I swear it was just sunny outside.
Miles was so disappointed, he just kept going back to the door over and over again. Finally James let him look outside and Miles just stood there watching the rain come down. He still didn't really understand why we couldn't go out.
There was a break in the rain, and the sun came out so we decided to head out. Unfortunately for us, the clouds moved rather quickly and we got stuck in a summer downpour....not too far from home, but we were all soaked by the end of it.
