Miles 13 months

Miles was a puppy for Halloween - his favorite thing in the world!  He has officially said his first real world (besides mama and dada): PUPPY!  It is SO CUTE when he says it. For a few weeks he would say "pup" but the last two weeks he has started to say PUPPY all the time. In fact, last weekend our family took a little field trip to Home Depot and Costco and there was a Petsmart in the area so we decided to go inside to see if owners had their dogs in store with them. Boy, did they ever! Miles was in awe for a solid five minutes -- that's all the time he needed.  

Miles had a pretty sick month. He had bronchiolitis and had to be put on a nebulizer for a week which was AWFUL. He hated it. He had a fever for 5 or 6 days in a row so was out of daycare. Luckily, gramma was able to help out!  

Teeth: I don't know - a lot? He has his molars and is constantly drooling so I assume the rest of 'em are popping up left and right.

Favorites: Puppies, trucks, tractors and his golf clubs.

Sleep: Still generally taking two naps a day. At daycare he sometimes will take one and on those days he's easily sleeping between 5:30-6pm.

One year old!

12 month stats:Weight: 20.15oz (19%)
Height: 29 1/2 inches (35%)
Head: 57%  

I'm a couple weeks late but better late than never; especially for Miles' big milestone of turning ONE!  Miles Magoo is continuing to be a busy little boy. He started walking for good right at 11 months or so. He is on the move and loves exploring on this new 'level'. He currently loves fire trucks, trucks and puppies. He lovesssss his daddy. When we pick him up at daycare he always goes to Dan. Like, he will look at me and smile but then see Dan and get super excited and literally walk past me like I'm chopped liver and go to Dan. WHEN WILL THIS CHANGE?!  He all of the sudden started to enjoy reading books. He will almost make it through a book without pushing it aside or getting distracted with something else. He still loves Baby Beluga but he got a trucks book for his birthday and a zoo animal one that makes sounds so he loves those now, too. He understands simple commands or questions. For example if we say "Miles, let's go take a bath" he will walk to the bathroom. "Miles, where's your firetruck?" He will walk over to his firetruck. "Miles, where's the Baby Beluga book?" and he will go to the stack of books and pull out the Baby Beluga book and bring it over to me, sit on my lap and start bouncing his little body when I start to sing. He can do simple sign language to communicate more and all done. He's basically a genius. ;)

Teeth:
Bug bug got his one-year molars last week. It. Was. Awful. It lasted less than 72 hours but those were the longest days ever. 


Sleep: 
He is still taking two naps a day but there have been a few days where he has refused one of his naps. I really want him to take two naps for as long as possible! We had conferences earlier this week at this school and they let us know he will be transitioning to one nap a day starting at 16 months.  Uuufda! He's still going down around 6:15pm and waking anytime between 6:30-7am. #thankful

Words:
He can kinda say puppy. He says mama and dada and babble A LOT.  He loves bananas so will say a long "bannn" when he points to a banana.
