My Future's So Bright...

Miles, Andrew, and I recently took a trip to Columbia so that Miles' Daddy could defend his dissertation! The meeting itself went very well and a fun time was had by all. Indeed, Miles and Mommy got to go to the Candy Factory and see how candy is made. It was pretty magical.


In terms of recent developments, Miles is initiating full conversations (with himself) and knows plenty of words that he uses to charm us into getting exactly what he wants. One of his favorite games to play with his Mommy is the "laughing game" in which we try to see who can come up with the silliest laugh (reminiscent of this delightful scene from Mary Poppins). He has come up with some pretty freaky ones.

Really, though, Miles' favorite new activity is showing people how cool he looks in sunglasses.



In fact, he was stealing ours so often, we decided to bust out the toddler-sized ones that we have had on reserve.
