Big Boy

I cannot believe its already (almost) Thursday and I cannot believe it is already November! I guess with all of our company... October just flew by. In all honesty, I can probably say that for every month.

Since about Halloween day, Milo has been able to sit up for over a minute on his own! I still like to be right there with him. When he does start to fall, I try to let him fall naturally, but gently... so he understands the natural consequences of his movements. And those early crawling motions are really starting. He can hike his butt up in the air, and he's learning to use his legs to get moving. I really think he'll be crawling by Thanksgiving if not before.

Today we had to take our cat to the vet for some minor skin issues she was having. At the vet, one of the guys that works there was gushing over Milo... then he said he also has a 4 month old... that is 18 lbs!! I thought Milo was a big boy!! We starting chatting about Sophie the Giraffe and leg warmers for boys, etc. Basically, by the time we left the vet, I had his fiancé's phone number to arrange a play date. :)

Milo now LOVES PeekABoo! He also has become quite the horse back rider. Mom and Dad found a vintage Fisher Price horse riding toy that even makes a little galloping sound... that Milo loves. While Mom and Dad were here, Mom would push Milo up and down the hallway on this horse. And its so cute because he'll even hold on the reins and lean right against the horse's mane... he seriously looks like he know what he is doing. Its SOOOO stinking adorable. I want Milo to be whatever he wants to be in life... but I could see him becoming a bit of a cowboy (especially if Grandma and Grandpa R have anything to do with it.) I'm hoping over the new couple of years, we'll be able to find an old saddle for him to play on.

Not much else is new. I got Milo's 6-12 month clothing (I had some out already) because he is so over his 3-6 month clothes. It was a blast getting out the next size up... it was like I went shopping and found all of this great, adorable stuff... but didn't have to spend any money. I guess all of those sales over the past couple (ok... maybe a few) years worked out well.
