Sleeping Milo

Here's Milo the morning after the first night he slept in his crib with a pillow. Notice how well he's using it:


Here he is during our Thanksgiving trip. He crawled out of his tent and fell asleep with his head on my pants. By the time of this picture, I've put a stuffed animal under his head.


And here he is having become more expert in his pillow use:

Hair

Lots of hair:


Haircut!

The Jester, the baker, the mayhem-maker

We thought you might want to take a look at the costume idea rejects...

Easy Rider

Milo wearing his flame helmet (and standing over his balance bike as he walks down the sidewalk):

He doesn't quite have the concept yet, but he sure enjoys it. I'm sure when he gets the hang of it, the neighborhood cats will be a little more cautious about taking their naps on the sidewalk.

Milo and his hep Daddy

Milo's paternal grandparents came for a visit, and we all stopped by the Silver Spring Jazz Fest to hear Chopteeth. Milo seemed to enjoy it.

Milo WAS eating pesto

Milo's language skills are coming along nicely. He's definitely picked up on the past tense over the last month or two.
Now we need to work on other tenses, like: IF I eat my spaghetti with pesto with my hands, I SHOULD wash myself AFTERWARDS.

First day of school

Here's Milo in his stroller on his way to his first day at his new school:


For reference, here's the picture we took on his first day of his old school, about two years and two months ago:


Here's another one from this morning. Dig the frog lunchbox and the hip shorts:

Oh, poop

Good new: Milo pooping on the potty!
Bad news: It was very easy to get him to poop on the potty, because poop has been streaming out of him in very liquid form for about 5 days.
Bonus: He is now terrified of getting his diaper changed, because his butt is raw. What fun!

Milo "Two Trucks"

Smiles

Family photo time!

In which we try to get three people to look pleasantly at the camera at the same time.

The fact that Jennifer has her eyes closed and her hand in front of her face in this one may actually be a blessing, as it distracts from Milo's bolus:


While Jen and I are both looking at the camera for this one, Milo has found something off to the side that has captured his attention. Perhaps it is another family, celebrating their fabulous and well posed family pictures:


The missing half of my face would be tolerable, but here we also have Milo making the first in a series of expressions that are ... less than desirable in the context of a nice photo:


This one might have been the one, if only I had aimed the camera a little better:


I look annoyed here. I hope Milo enjoyed whatever he was eating:


I don't even know what to say about this one:


In this picture, Milo is wistfully remembering the days before I started trying to get a nice picture of the three of us:


And so on:


And so forth:


Happy holidays from the Lewis/Greenbergs!

Yummy dance

Happy 4th of July

Milo enjoys the parade from a good vantage point:

Yes

Over the last couple of days, Milo has started to say 'Yes' on a regular basis.
Do you want a muffin?
Yes.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
Was there an elephant on the telephone wire?
Yes.
Are you sitting in a tree?

The cousins meet

Cousin Emmy shows her dad who's boss:

There was certainly digging in the sand at the beach, but the principle occupations seemed to be getting splashed by waves:



and running in the sand and 'falling' down:

LA photos, part 1

We've got some good vacation stuff coming up. Let's start with the beach:


Maybe we should've named him 'Elton'.

Milo and Otis (and Grace)

First successful potty use: June 3, 2010

Memorial day weekend

Milo the person and Milo the cat:

Milo and Eleanor:

Milo prepared for his future career in baseball

Reading and Taco Times

Happy Mothers' Day

As of today, Milo can climb up the little fake rock climbing wall thing at our local playground. If I can figure out how to get photos off my phone I will post one.

Update:

Bubbles are still fun

Milo meets the ants across the street

Ant attack!

Milo is twice as old as he was yesterday

Bedtime dialog:
Me: Today was a big day. It's not every day you turn two.
Milo: No.

Milo at Ada's birthday party

Livin large

Recent developments:
Last week, he started pointing to things and asking 'What's that?'
I've taught him a joke:
Milo: Water.
Dad: Water?
Milo: Water you doing?

Maybe one day he'll understand it ...

More storm video

Milo really had to endure some hardships when we lost electricity and heat during the storm. Here is an example:



Poor guy.

Snowpocalypse II: Return of the Falling

Our heat and power failed under the blizzard, so we gathered Milo and some groceries and sledded over to our friends' house for a couple of days:






We are back at home, warm and happy. More snow coming tomorrow.
More video on its way.

The Aging Toddler

At some point over the last month, Milo seems to have grown up and become a man. Or at least changed from being a baby/toddler to a toddler/boy.






Still pretty cute, though.
