New discoveries

Every day is full of new discoveries lately. This morning I sat and watched Milo try to figure out how to hold four little people in his hands at the same time (one of them was stuck on a fire truck, so it was throwing a wrench in the whole operation). I could literally see the wheels turning as he squatted there, picking them up and dropping them, until he finally managed two in each hand. He beamed at me, and then immediately threw them down and trotted on to the next project.

Milo has also decided that he likes grapefruit, so now we share in the mornings. Not like he needs any more food at breakfast time - the child eats more than I do, and yet he's still in 6-9 month clothes (sometimes 12 month, but that's pushing it)! His regular breakfast is a whole banana, a whole Nutrigrain bar, a big handful of cheerios, and a whole sippy cup of either juice or milk. Now add to that about half a grapefruit. WOW! Imagine how much running he has to do to burn off meals like that and not grow a pound and you can begin to understand how busy my life is these days. I wouldn't trade it for anything, though.

We finally managed to wear this adorable denim jacket (size 12 month) last night. It's a little baggy, but I think it's cute! Not sure about the excessive drool... He's usually a pretty clean little man.

"Awwww, Dad, does Mommy have to take another picture?" (sigh)

We managed to put our bed back where it belongs this weekend (thank goodness!), and we also got the most amazing curtains that make our room practically black. Lucky for me, we hung them just in time for a Monday morning, when I'm up long before the sun has even thought about rising. There's always next weekend, right?
