Full Speed

It has been crazy busy here. The last few weeks have included work on most weekends, a radio interview, TV interviews, walls being painted at home, evening meetings, sick Miles, and tax returns. It's all so much. It's the quiet times in between (like now) that I remind myself that all is good, even though I feel like I am running on empty most of the time and have no time to recharge. It's hard to complain when so many people are loosing their jobs right now. In about two weeks, everything should quiet down again for a while. Looking forward to taking a couple of days off to visit family and the beach! 

Miles is developing at full speed. His vocabulary has grown imensly (recent new words: zebra, sunshine, moon, lion, snow, earring). He all of a sudden started climbing into his high chair and is close to climbing out of his crib. He can't get enough of his books. First thing in the morning, he brings his book to read as he climbs into our bed. He has recently discovered the moon when it was shining particularly bright the other night. Now every time we are in the car when it is dark outside he wants me to show him the moon. He has become much taller and skinnier, less and less babyish. 

In less than two months he is two years old. How did that happen so fast?

This is my 100th post y'all!

Saturday was pretty cold but we went out to the playground anyway. Miles had fun, but his eyes were watering from the cold. 



Today it was 63 degrees, more than 20 degrees warmer than Saturday! Crazy. It felt awesome being outside. Can't wait for spring to be here. 
We went swimming this morning at the Y. Miles is getting good at kicking his legs and holding on to our back when we swim. 

Miles and yogurt


Miles enjoyed eating his own yogurt. He is all about doing it himself. 


Though he wasn't too happy when it was all gone.
