Watch Milo Grow: 13 Months Old

I obviously am not doing the weekly watch Milo grow posts anymore. It was getting a little to crazy... imagine me jumping up and down, playing peek-a-poo, and bribing Milo to lay still long enough to get a good picture. 1 year seemed like a good place to stop, but I still want to keep track of the little and big things that happen in his life and post them here monthly. So here we go: 

-Got his first bike, well a push tricycle and he is OBSESSED. Major drama when it is time for it to be put away.

-He is obsessed with all bikes in general. Loves to run on to the porch any time the door is open and touch the bikes. He checks out the tires & twirls the pedals around.

-Definitely his happiest outside. Hates when it is time to come in and insists on walking on his own.

-There are a set of stairs outside our apartment and he loves climbing them.

-He also loves rocks. He picks up one for each hand every time we go outside. I found about 5 in the back of my car when I cleaned it out today.

-Loves dogs. He kind of says/tries doggie and he makes a kissy/call noise every time that he sees a dog lately. He heard Jordan doing it to the little puppy that lives next door and now he does it to every dog. We were biking today and passed by a lady walking her dog and he started saying doggie and making a kiss noise.

-Is an excellent walker.

-Climbing on everything. Can climb on and off the couch. Stands up in his little rocker and high chair. Can climb out of the bath.

-He is getting more of an opinion and isn't afraid to let it be known (in other words, temper tantrums)

-Is so busy and active!

-Says Banana.

-In the afternoon Milo and I ride our bike toward the school to meet up with Jordan. The past two days when Milo has seen Jordan in the distance he will scream "Dadda Dadda." It is the cutest thing ever. He is such a daddy lover!  

-Got his passport photo taken. It took over hour, 15+ outtakes, 3 CVS workers, and a creepy Sponge Bob toy.... but we finally got a useable picture!
-After about 3 weeks of extreme drool, finally had a molar break through. 

Super Milo

I have been trying to do a little spring cleaning around here, slowly but surely. Especially focusing on the closets since its turning into summer on us real quick. Jordan insists that he will go through his clothes on his own, I think that he is worried that I might toss his prized blue sweatshirt. On Monday night, I left Milo and Jordan at home while I went to the grocery store and I also left Jordan with the task of going through his old T-shirts. When I came home I found that Jordan had made a pile of shirts to donate and made this little guy a new cape out of his old BYU-H shirt. I love my boys!

Camping Dreams

I have a new dream ... We are going to buy a vintage trailer and fix it up to be cutesy like these! I've spent the better part of my evening searching Craigslist and looking at pictures of remodeled vintage trailers. I've decided its a must do!!! Jordan loves camping and I love projects. It's a win win for all. So when you see the most darling camper you've ever laid eyes on rollin' down the street you will know who is behind the wheel. Holla.

Lil' Climber

Lately, Milo is climbing on anything and everything ... including right out of the bath. 

Rocking Chair

I found this cute little wooden rocking chair at a yard sale awhile ago. Milo has finally taken interest in it. It is the cutest thing to watch him climb on to it. It took him a few tries to figure it out at first, but he was so determined to figure it out and now he loves to climb right in.

Oasis Gymnastics Power Hour

Heather told us about a Gymnastics gym that offers an open gym for an hour to give kids a chance to play on the equipment, so we had to check it out. Debbie came over from Gilbert to come with us. Milo loved running down the tumble track and liked climbing on all the mats. There was a little donut shaped mat that Milo sat down in the middle of and would come up on the edge play peek-a-boo with us. It is the perfect place for Milo to be able to run around. Jordan loved it too, he was wishing that the parents were able to play too. Milo was a happy little boy which was a good change since he's been a little cranky this week cutting teeth. We love our active little one.
