...the baby is a TODDLER!

Well, Miles is officially a toddler! He took a few careful steps toward me yesterday and today he decided to be adventurous and climb all over the furniture. This afternoon he climbed up on his rocking chair in order to knock photo frames and candles of the dresser in the living room! He is getting hard to keep track of but we are having so much fun watching him learn to do new things. He can now use a fork and spoon (when he feels like it) and drink from a big-boy cup (if mom watches to make sure he doesn't "share" with the dogs). This morning we had breakfast at the grocery store before we went shopping and Miles was a hit with all of the grandma's and grandpa's there, he was smiling and showing off the whole time. Here are some pictures of our crazy little peanut!

Happy Birthday Miles!

Last weekend was Miles' first birthday, I cannot believe that our little boy is a year old! We had a pirate-themed party at the Ramada in Sioux Falls so that Miles could swim and he really seemed to have a blast. He had lots of fun swimming with his aunts and uncles and when it was time for the cake smash, he dove right in! It was such a special time for Eric and I to be able to spend the day with our loved ones, celebrating our little peanut. Here are a few pictures from Miles' special day!
