The story: I had just changed him, and went to throw away the diaper. I came back, and he was playing with the diaper caddy...(there isn't anything particularly exciting in this video, but I like the way he "studies" the diaper.) Then, off he goes for more exploring!

Eleven Months...can you believe it?
Hi Everyone,
Today was a rough day for Miles (and me). I think he has new teeth coming out, as he was pretty cranky and clingy today. It's pretty unusual for him to cry as much as he did today. And he took a third nap, something he hasn't done in months. So his 11-month birthday was marked with a lot of hugs and consoling (for him). And a big glass of wine for me! :-)
Hello, Mr. Cranky-pants here. (I love that serious expression on his face.)
Go Gophers!!! We were at an outdoor concert on Thursday night, so here's his picnic dinner of chicken and sweet potatoes.

Wobblerhood
Oz Spies says it better than I could: http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/knockedup/archive/2008/07/23/wobblerhood.aspx
I started reading her blog when I was pregnant with Miles, as his due date was just a few weeks before her baby's (Axel). Anyway, as I read her blog, Axel and Miles hit many of the same milestones within weeks of each other.
I'm loving Miles's "wobblerhood" stage, especially the way his little butt sticks out when he's standing up. He can pull himself up quite quickly, which means additional child-proofing. Miles is this close to standing on his own. He's not quite cruising, but he has successfully climbed up our stairs (with supervision, of course!).
How cute is this?!

Mr. Cuteness (long post)
A few things:
1. I took Miles to the "Mother-Baby Center" today for a weigh-in. The MBC is a great resource for moms (and babies) here in Bellingham. They have a ton of resources, on-call nurses, a small lending library, and two scales. Miles weighs 18 pounds, 13.5 ounces. The kid eats a lot, but still (to me) doesn't seem to be gaining weight. He has been 18 pounds for over a month, just gaining a few ounces a week! He's got lots of chub, as you can see, and he seems fine. He's in the 10th percentile for both height and weight (30th for head), but I need to remember that he's compared to other August 26 babies who were at term. He's probably just fine for his adjusted birth date. But still, I worry.
2. He took a bath with Seth tonight. Miles has outgrown his little tub, and I've tried giving him a bath in just the tub, but he's so squirmy (Seth calls him "Sir Squirm-alot") that it's dangerous. So my friend Rebecca gave us this seat, and it does the trick, but I don't feel that he gets as "clean" that way.
3. See, he can stand up!

Mean Mom (59-second video)
We've had a string of good weather lately, and Miles & I have been taking many walks to the park. Life is good in Bellingham!
Most of the time, Miles can pull himself to a standing position, which was my intent when I started filming; to show off his new skill. But as you can see, he had a little oops...

Standing...
Miles has wanted to "stand" the past few days...he can't do it unsupported, but likes to be dangled. And he now has two top teeth in addition to his two bottom ones.
