The Short of Things

Too beaten down to write complete sentences.

Miles is still sick. (Complete sentence count - 1). 103 degree fever last Wednesday - virus the whole family can enjoy. Made it through Sunday with only a 99 degree temp - thought we were in the clear. Call from day care this a.m. - fever's back. Visit to doc...again. Sinus infection and problems with his lungs... again. Sad nebulizer mask is back, and screaming baby is back too. Much harder to hold down a 24 pounder than when he was 6 months old.

Better news - Miles loves to talk. (Complete sentence count - 2). Words he can say:
  • Mee-mee (Mommy)
  • Dada
  • Pup
  • Ball
  • Nana
  • Lyla
  • Ash
  • Pop (Papa)
  • Baby
  • Buh-bye
  • Bear
  • Bop (His Jumpstart Baby computer game - he's obsessed.)


Noises he makes:
  • Gug-gug (drink)
  • Ooh-ooh-ee-ee-ee (monkey)
  • Pant, pant, pant (doggie)
  • Pfbt! (elephant)
  • Hop, hop, hop (bunny)
  • Quack, quack (duck)
  • High-pitched chirp (bird or cat)
  • Tongue clicking (clock)
  • Vrrooom (truck, bus, car, airplane...even a poor lady in an electric wheelchair at the fair)
  • Mmmmmm (That tastes good - sentence 3 - or a cow...which also tastes good)
  • Baaaaa (sheep...but also just sounds like he's laughing)
Non-related picture - Diaper heads!


Gestures:
  • More
  • All gone/all done
  • Can point to his feet, hands, eyes, nose, head, ears, mouth, and belly.
  • Getting pretty good at "Where is thumbkin?"
  • Bounces up and down every time he sees a horsey, donkey, or zebra
Last few non-related pics - after swimming (finally liked it!) and zonked out in his king-size bed.
