Just playing

Lately we've just had a lot of good, playing time. Bennett is loving school this year. I have already caught her "reading like a teacher" to her babies (holding the book up so they can see the pages). She also told me that she loves to play with the doll house at school but she knows she should "mix-it-up" sometimes. Must be a word her teachers used! haha

Miles is into everything...especially his sister's toys!! Although she does get frustrated sometimes, she is really pretty understanding about it. She also takes her job of "keeping small things away from Miles" very seriously! Miles just started pulling up to standing a few days ago, and now it's his favorite trick. Unfortunately his favorite place to do this is on the living room fireplace where all of Bennett's castle people live. This has been a point of contention for the past few days. Also, he now gets up on his hands and knees a lot, but he still flops down to his tummy to actually move, army-crawl style.

We've had some rough nights lately, as Miles had gotten himself into the habit of waking wanting a bottle sometime between 2 and 4AM. Since we know he doesn't need this, we are working to get rid of it. Two nights ago he was up for an hour before he finally went back to sleep without a bottle. Last night it was 40 min. I'm hoping tonight is shorter again!

Otherwise, Miles is a really happy guy! He's so curious and generally very smiley. He's also doing great eating solids. He's liked everything he's tried and now has solids for 2 meals a day.

In other news, I ran a 10K race last weekend with my friend Mona. It went pretty well! I have one more 10K in October before my half marathon/girls' weekend in Memphis in December!

Happy guy!

On the move!
