Miles An Hour

We've got new words bustin' out in droves...today Miles added:
-"mih" ("me")
-"mine"
-"di gooh" ("tickle") Sooooo stinkin' cute...he makes his fingers tickle/scratch his belly while he says it.

Miles An Hour

Miles has been learning more and more words lately...since Christmas he's been quite a bit more vocal and it's fun and hard at the same time trying to figure out what his new words are. So far these are the ones he's got down:


-"di duh" ("thank you"),
-"dah dah" ("Daddy"),
-"Mom",
-"sock",
-"shoo" ("show"),
-"buh" ("book"),
-"ahmuh" ("amen"),
-"new" ("no" - he's regressed a bit on this one and now says no for yes)
-"Oh, ay" ("okay") and he says it like it's two different words
-"bye" ("bite") As in, "do you want a bite?"
-"buh buh" ("bye bye")

Miles An Hour

I'm way behind and realized a couple months ago that we needed to start working on body parts. He can point to is his nose now, but we're still working on the others.

November

Out and About
Some friends of our invited us to spend the weekend in Park City with them and it was such a fun and wonderful get-a-way (THANKS you guys!!).  Of course in all the fun, I of course forgot to pull out the camera except this one time! :(

Jack's friend, Kaitlyn, invited him to Disney on Ice, so we found someone to watch Miles and Britton and I both got to go too!  It was SO fun to see how much Jack enjoyed the singing and skating and being with friends.  SUCH a great night (again, THANK YOU for thinking of us!!)

Here's a cutie-patootie shot of Jack's friend Kaitlyn (in the background).

The stars of the show (Peter Pan & Tinkerbell)

And of course, we cannot forget the incredible ride on trax :)

My Big Helper
I heard some interesting commentary from the hallway when I was in my bedroom one day.  Jack was being really nice while he talked to Miles, telling him to move this way or that or to sit still.  When I got up to check it out, this is what I find...Jack is putting Miles' pj pants back right-side-out and is preparing to put them back on him now that he has "changed his diaper".

I tried to get a better shot...notice that it's backwards and one side isn't even fastened, ROFL!!  Jack was all, "Mom, I'm just changing Miles' diaper for you!".  It was too darn cute - and maybe the cutest part of all was that Miles was just sitting there letting Jack do whatever.  (Please don't mind the clean clothes strewn all over the floor underneath Miles - that is what the two of them were busy doing before the aformentioned "diaper change")

And this is a picture of Jack being the big helper when he went with Daddy to the "plumbing" store to get some parts for our leaking kitchen faucet.

Stuck
Miles figured out how to climb into our super high kitchen table chairs, but he didn't realize what he was getting into when he climbed into the chair while it was still pushed under the table.  We didn't figure it out until we heard the yelling, and then I had to snap a picture before I got him down, LOL!

Decorating for Christmas!

As Jack is getting older, the holidays are getting more fun each year.  We had fun decorating the house and especially the tree for Christmas this year together as a family.  Jack really got into it and was even trying to show Miles how to put the decorations on the tree.  But the best part was getting to help Britton put the star on top.

Our little Christmas corner.

And a game of catch when all was said and done.



All of October

Yup...it's October in a nutshell...

Miles started this little number; guess he didn't like my music, HA!

Came home and turned on a show so I could make dinner in peace.  Then I look over and see the boys watching tv like this, too cute!

Finally got to see Toy Story 3 with Jack in the theater and of course he LOVED it!  He must have remembered taking a picture by the movie poster when we went to see Planet 51 because he insisted on a picture by the movie poster this time.

A special day...the day Britton was sworn in to the Utah State Bar (Association).  It was crowded and dark, so I didn't get any good pictures.  He's like the 7th person down this row.

Refreshments with the USBA seal in chocolate :)

Britton's family tradition of getting the cousins together at Gardner Village in their costumes.

Mr. Miles hanging in the stroller.

Got an ok shot of Jack in his costume...

And an ok one of Miles in his costume...but didn't manage to get a good one of both of them of course!

Our pumpkins and the boys dressed up right before trick-or-treating (whoops...Mom's missing, lol!)

And my family's tradition of getting together for a dinner of chili, cornbread and root beer before heading out trick-or-treating in our little neighborhood.



Yeah, so I was a super slacker in the picture department for the whole of October, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun! :)
