Hippo Birdie two Ewe (Miles)

I almost can't believe that this little munchkin is one already. The time truly has flown. Partly because life is really busy with 3 boys but also partly because Miles is so easy going and wonderful. I truly could not have dreamed up an easier child. He slept through the night on his own at 2 months and has been a perfect sleeper all along. He rarely gets upset and usually only if his brothers trample him or steal a very interesting toy out of his hands. Other than that he's happy as can be, crawling around, playing with his brothers, and being dragged along everywhere we go.
And my favorite thing? He's a true-blue momma's boy and a cuddler! He prefers me over anyone, anytime. By one both Ethan and Isaac preferred their dad since he would throw them around and play, but Miles hates being tossed in the air and LOVES being cuddled. If I'm ever sitting on the floor he bee-lines for me and crawls into my lap. He loves rolling around and being tickled and has started patting my back when I pat his. Love that!
On Friday we went to the doctor for his 1 year checkup. He's 30.5 inches long (75th percentile) has a head that's in the 92nd percentile and is only 18.6 pounds (3rd percentile). He's right on track to be a tall skinny boy like his brothers. As always he was a perfect little patient for the doctor and didn't cry once. And what was his reward for being so good? 6 shots! 3 in each leg. How sad to see and his little legs are so small that 3 band aids barely fit on each one!
He currently has 3 1/2 teeth which is a record for us since the other 2 didn't get ANY until 13 months.
He LOVES his food. His current favorites are edamames and black beans although mac and cheese is in the running too.
And he has discovered his tongue which is pretty hilarious!
We love this chill boy!
Miles wasn't quite sure what all the singing today was about, but he's happy to clap along!
