Andy's Birthday

2010-06-09T21:15:00.002-04:00

Well I know I said I would do a better job at keeping up with this...then there I go again letting lots of time pass me by. I wanted to share a cute story about Miles on Andy's birthday. Miles woke up very early in the morning on Andy's Birthday...therefore he climbed in bed with us. When Andy got up that morning and went to brush his teeth I put some chocolate and a birthday card on his pillow. By the time Andy came back Miles had already opened the chocolate and was found eating it in bed sweetly. Andy couldn't have been happier!

Mother's Day

2010-05-09T21:04:00.006-04:00

Had a great Mother's Day today. Luckily my parent's were in town as Andy was deep into final papers still! The best part of this day was just before Miles went to bed. We were playing in the living room and he accidentally hit me with his little bucket that is for looking at bugs. It hurt and I said, "OOOOWWW" pretty loudly! SO Miles immediately said, "sorry mommy, sorry". Then he proceeded to give me two kisses on the forehead where the boo boo was and a really sweet hug. It was very sweet.

Miles and I also stopped by a store to pick up matching crocs for him and his dad. Miles was very proud of having matching shoes. It was one of Andy's early B-day gifts!

To sleep at last!

2010-05-08T23:25:00.001-04:00

Tonight was the first night this week that Miles went to sleep with no complaint! Finally!!!! He must know tomorrow is Mother's Day!

Trouble Sleeping AGAIN...

2010-05-03T21:22:00.002-04:00

Again tonight Miles is having a hard time sleeping. He would not sleep in his own bed last night at all...which is VERY unlike him. SO, he snuggled close with us for most of the night. Then I sneakily put him in his bed...and an hour or so later he was up again and was up bright and early this morning.

Tonight was the same as last night....refusal to go to bed. He screamed for quite some time, so I went in to try and relieve the situation. Much to his dismay, I made him lie down, and rubbed his head. I must have rubbed his head for 20 minutes or so before he finally fell asleep. Then, he tried to get comfortable again and woke himself up. He looked up at me and said, "Mommy, I want hair!" So I continued to rub his head and he fell sound asleep.

Andy was the first at attempting to get the little guy to sleep tonight. They lied down together on Miles' bean bag and read, "Curious George and the Dump Truck", one of his favorites. In this book, George gets into trouble with a dump truck. Miles responded to one of the pictures saying, "Monkey broke it. No no, monkey. Time out."

He is a sweet one...and finally asleep.

New posts

2010-05-02T22:11:00.002-04:00

I have posted a few new things...so make sure to scroll down to the bottom and click on "older posts". Miles is up late right now with us. He must be going through a growth spurt...not sure what is going on. So I figured...why not write a little something.

Andy is up trying to finish final papers and I just finished watching desperate housewives. Miles is trying to feed his pet stuffed tiger some pretend food all the while using Andy as a climbing wall. By the way, I took Miles to the climbing gym the other day just to observe...he did not want to leave! I was very pleased. We shall return and see if he actually enjoys it.

Off to attempt to get Miles in bed...oh boy! It is steamy here, hot and rainy. Maybe that us why he won't sleep....

Sorry for the delay....

2010-05-01T21:43:00.003-04:00

Well, once again we have failed, for many months, to update Miles' blog. He has changed so much since our last post. Actually, we have moved since this last post as well. We have decided to attempt to post something everyday on this blog...whether it is pictures or simply something Miles said or did on any given day. After all, this would be a cool journal of his life if we could just keep up with it.

So here is a short update on the little guy:

Likes:
Music ("música") is still one of Miles' past times, BUT tractors, trucks, and motorcycles have taken over. Right now he is actually asleep with two tractors and a motorcycle.

Speech:
Miles is talking quite a bit. He is already into asking a lot of questions...mostly, "What's that mommy? What's that Andy? What's that, what's that, what's that?"...until it is answered. We love these questions and we love to answer them. And yes, Miles calls Andy by his name. Occasionally he says "Daddy." It all depends on his mood. I called my dad by his first name and my dad also called his father by his first name. Must just run in the family. Miles is still learning bits of Spanish. He speaks Spanglish. He says things like, "Look Mommy, camión (truck)." Andy continues to speak to him about 90% of the time in Spanish and Diana tries to do the same.

Health:
Miles is growing like a weed. For his two-year checkup he was in the lowest quarter for weight...but 75th percentile for height. He is a little guy; however, he's healthy and happy. He still got strep throat quite often this winter. If he doesn't grow out of this by next year he may be getting his tonsils out.

Okay...now I will attempt to post some pictures that I have neglected to upload!

Halloween at The Children's Center
This was the end of the day...and most were already out of their costumes. Maggie is the curly haired girl looking like a doll/Shirley Temple. She is Miles' girlfriend. They have been extremely close since the infant room. Luckily they have managed to stay in the same classroom as they move up. She is Miles' biggest fan!

Miles Ahead

2009-09-26T23:14:00.002-04:00

Miles is moving right along...at a fast pace actually. He is 18 months old now. He has a vocabulary of about 30+ words...some English and some Spanish. He can even say a couple of very simple sentences. Maggie is still his girlfriend at daycare and he loves to say her name and tell us stories about her (which we do not understand all the time). They have been close since the infant room. I hope they stay in they same classroom throughout.

Viruses are pretty bad right now at the daycare. Miles is on his second bout of the Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. After this season they say he should be immune. I had no idea it was a very normal thing to get as a child! I guess it is better now than in kindergarten though.

Playing drums is still Miles' favorite thing to do. He is actually getting very interested in harmonica, flute, and guitar. We have to hide the guitar from him time to time. He still prefers any music dvd to cartoons or children's programs. He also loves to sing and manages to always hit the right key of whatever is playing. He can also be vocal in other ways...i.e. screaming for fun...or when mad. After asking his teachers at daycare if he is the same way there...they say he has never screamed there. I guess he just likes to test us at home.

Art is Miles' other favorite pastime...especially if it involves his dad's pens and highlighters while he is trying to study. He is definitely showing signs of being like his Uncle Awesome with art and music.

We actually got a wonderful report from his school. They say,"he is an adorable and sweet boy who warms are hearts everyday". It also stated that, "Miles has a sense of ownership, especially when it comes to his little blanket or shoes." I thought that was pretty cute.

Well I guess that is enough bragging for now...he is easy to brag about though!

This was the first time Miles actually got to see his father play live. We were not sure how it would go over. Let's just say it was VERY hard keeping him from the outdoor stage...and there were some tears involved. He did not understand the concept of Pipo (what Miles calls Andy...a nickname for "dad" in Cuba) playing drums without him. So we let him have his own concert for a bit.

2009-08-07T20:48:00.002-04:00

I must sincerely apologize to all...and to Miles for my extreme delay in updating his blog. Please know though that he has not ceased to grow, learn, and....get down-right handsome!!! I know...I am proud, but he has seriously amazed us every day. So I will start adding some new photos and events from the past few months. They are slightly outdated and I will have to pick and choose as there are sooo many to update. SO be patient as I fill you in on his wonderful life these past few months.

Miles Sharing Books with Pipo

These videos/photos were taken in early spring...before walking.

A long overdue update...

2009-05-19T21:24:00.004-04:00

Wow, I cannot believe how lazy I have been about updating this blog. It has been a while...so be prepared for several big event posts that have happened since our last visit together here on the world wide web.

Miles is definitely walking right now. He still is in that drunken sailor (as my dad would say) phase when trying to run. He hasn't quite gotten there yet with the running part. He is a pretty calm walker...just likes to check things out. His favorite thing to say is "uh oh". Miles also says "agua" (water), "yes" (I think he learned this at day care), "gracias," as well as many other words he just repeats after us without knowing exactly what he is repeating. Today he actually repeated "oh boy!" after I said it as I was cleaning his mess up after he ate dinner. Miles' favorite activity is sharing. He loves to share anything from toys to chewed-up food. I promise it is sweet!

Starting this June Miles will be moving up to a new toddler classroom. I can't believe he has already moved through three rooms. He is growing so fast. I will make sure to include some photos that were sent to us from his teachers.

Miles has also added a new instrument to his ensemble... the kazoo. We bought him one the other day and he played it for thirty minutes straight. Don't worry, his love for drumming and percussion has not waned. In fact it gets stronger everyday! He is truly Andy's son....and Wesley's grandson!

Signing into this blog I realized that I still had the quiz on the side wondering if Miles' eyes would be blue or brown. I am not sure If I have updated you all on this...but they are a green, blue, and brown color...beautiful.

Miles' Daycare Artwork

2009-03-24T15:51:00.001-04:00

Almost there...

2009-03-24T15:02:00.005-04:00

On St. Patty's day, Miles braved the wonderful world of walking on his own two feet! He managed to get in about four steps on his own. He is now up to about 4-12 steps. He still doesn't have a strong desire to just get up and go...he prefers assistance. Within a couple of days of learning to walk, he ripped holes in his little leather slipper shoes. He has now graduated to real shoes.

Miles is also exploring the verbal world. His favorite word is "uh oh". He knows how and when to say it...which is too cute. He also enjoys the words, "gata" (female cat), "árbol" (tree), and "pato" (duck). "Gata" (we have two female cats) he understands is a cat...or any animal for that matter! The other words he just repeats after you say them...well "tree" is starting to make more sense to him. He also responds to the question, "¿Dónde está la luz?" (Where is the light?). He quickly points up at a light. This started just before Christmas while pointing out Christmas lights.

Miles' love for drumming and percussion has not slowed down. It is still the first thing he wants to do when he gets home...and when he wakes up. He doesn't even like to let go of the drumsticks for a bath...so they have been bathed a few times as well.

I will be posting some pictures soon of our weekend trip to GrandBob and Abuela's house for my grandfather's birthday. For now you can enjoy some of Miles' recent masterpieces while at daycare!

Not Quite Traveling Miles

2009-03-01T20:25:00.003-05:00

Well Miles is not officially walking yet. His teachers at school have seen him take a step...and they know he can walk...he just chooses not to yet. We certainly aren't pushing this "milestone". He happily stands on his own and plays his drum set while standing (which is the most important thing to him).

A couple of weeks ago Miles had his one year appointment. Miles had just gotten over a stomach virus and strep throat for the second time in one month. Being a normal mother this concerned me a bit. I was assured this was perfectly normally this time of year, especially since he is in daycare. They keep telling me..."it's either now, or he will miss a lot of school in kindergarten". So I have dealt with it, in every sense of the word. Andy and I have had the stomach virus a couple of times within the last month...greedy little daycare germs!

Having been sick, Miles was only in the 3rd percentile for growth....BUT 50th for height. The doctor seemed only slightly concerned since Andy has a small build. We had been having trouble transferring Miles from homemade purees to finger foods and table foods. He simply threw up every time. The doctor suggested we see a speech therapist (not for speech) to stimulate Miles' mouth. He also wanted Miles to be on pediasure for the next three months to see if that would help his weight gain.

After returning home from the doctor I was very nervous about the challenge ahead, getting Miles to eat...and going to a therapist. I think Miles is very smart though and heard the conversation. That night I had tried to feed him like normal. He was given a couple of spoons to promote feeding himself. He even had toys to distract him while the food went in the mouth...not interested. When the food did go in...instant gagging. SO I didn't push it. I simply sat on the couch with him, still worried about the lack of food he had ingested, while I ate a slice of leftover pizza. He grabbed for my pizza, and I didn't stop him. There hasn't been a problem with eating since! He now eats most anything. Pizza is by far his favorite food though...and I agree with him. We don't even have to see the therapist now!

He is growing fast. He amazes us everyday with his knowledge. Today he crawled over to the cat food bag, drug it across the room to the cat food bowl, and tried to pour them some food. He was so pleased with himself that he did it several times today...needless to say the cats have a new best friend. Miles does adore them, and I certainly can't blame him!

More to come...

2009-02-02T22:10:00.004-05:00

I know you all have been patient for quite some time now while waiting for us to post new pictures. I have plenty more to post...and of course the big 1 year birthday! Stay tuned...I promise I am working on it!

For those of you who have not seen Miles recently I will quickly update you on his "milestones". He is not walking yet, but happily walks with the help of his radio flyer. I don't have many stats to give as his one year appointment is not until next week. He is slightly picky with food. He eats most anything, but has some issues with textures. For this reason he is not really into finger foods except for cereal. He does love to eat the occasional leaf on the ground though. So I am not sure what it is about that texture he likes so much. He is a maniac on drums. He could probably play them all day if allowed to. We certainly aren't pushing them on him...he just truly loves them. He also loves to play the flute, kazoo and the occasional piano. Drums are by far the favorite though. His favorite thing to watch is The Afro Cuban Allstars live in Japan! He likes baby Einstein okay...but if music is on he can tune in for awhile. Andy is pretty excited about that. We don't watch much tv but Andy does watch a lot of music dvds...and that is quite alright with Miles! He hasn't said any true words yet...but we do say everything in Spanish and a little English. That is probably a little confusing. Don't get me wrong...he talks...it is just his own language. When he gets going the conversation is pretty hilarious. I know he believes he is really telling me something interesting.

I think that is pretty much it for now. More pictures and videos are on the way....

We tried to keep the leaves out of his mouth...but he is quick and rather liked them. He threw up shortly after this photo shoot...leaves (and his butternut squash dinner). A little bit of nature never hurt anyone though.
