First time for stinking everything

Well, we had a good run, but Miles got his first real cold. He's had a snotty nose for a minute or two before, but never a real cold. Motherhood, how could you be so sweet and blissful and then turn on me in a flash and make my life MISERABLE? I would consider not forgiving you, but you turn back to your old ways, and I thank you.

This is Miles' new favorite spot. He's always loved the tuperware cupboard, but hasn't got in and got cozy. Now, at least once a day, he'll climb in and sit in there and go to town throwing all the tupperware out and getting it back in, closing the doors on himself, etc. He sat in there yesterday for 45 minutes or so. He thinks it is dope, and so do I.

He found this seat the other night and now when his closet is open he goes over to it and sits down and swings his legs out like "Cool. Just my size."

Other than that, Miles is just a 14 month old non walking delightful boy. He doesn't talk, but he signs "more" for anything and everything he wants. Lately, when I tell him "no" he looks at me and carefully signs "more." What, kid? You think if you ask I'm going to let you do it? Then he kind of grabs his face and does a frustrated yell when I tell him "no" again. So sweet.

I've got him to sign "please" and "thank you," but "more" is his definite front runner. He eats like a pig and asks for more until his belly is stretched so big and hard and I have to make him stop eating. Also loves Sesame Street-- Elmo in particular, and Blue's Clues. He sits on the couch like a fatty and holds onto the XBOX controller while watching TV. I'm pretty sure he gets dumb whenever I let him watch TV, but what can I say? One hour a day isn't so bad, right?

That's it for the Miles update. Here's a video... I was trying to get him reading his books, but he got uninterested/caught me. Better luck next time.
