Milo's first Halloween

Milo's daycare had its Halloween 'parade' today: the kids got dressed up, and the adults pushed, carried, and walked the kids up and down the block while the parents hovered around them like camera-wielding jackals.

Milo's parents give him the best toys ...

Belated video: Milo turns over edition

This is probably about a month overdue. On trying to imitate it, I find that his technique requires strong core muscles.

The return of Uncle Matthew

Since Matt's last visit (in April), Milo has learned to sit up, eat baby food, grab things, put things in his mouth, turn over, and drag himself along the floor. We expect that, by the time he sees Uncle Matt next month, he will be reciting pi to 10 decimal places.

Milo is a modest boy

Grammy feeds Milo

Milo had his first school pictures recently. As you can see by the background, he is in tune with the small town, rural values that make America great.

Now that Milo is adept at sitting and eating, he has decided to terrify his parents by working his pre-crawling posture.


So far it has only resulted in reverse scooting and getting his foot stuck under the couch:


(For those of you who are extra observant, yes - that chin is even more covered with drool than usual. The first tooth has finally broken through!)
