Big Monday!!

So... I finally gave into my paranoid mom tensions and took Miles to the pediatrician today. She said that he does have a cold, but it is not (yet) affecting his ears. The mild fevers are most likely caused by that fact that his gums are rather swollen again. Apparently 8 teeth aren't enough. Is this borderline selfishness?? However, the teething issue does explain why he hasn't been sleeping very well either. I was sooo hoping to get a little break from the teething frenzy!

Diagnosis: head cold and teething - give him Motrin for swelling/fevers. Good to fly!

Oh well.... On the bright side, we were home super early today. After going to the grocery store to get Nate his 'bachelor foods' (for while Miles and I are in Iowa), we came home, grabbed Cooper, and went on a super long walk. We broke out the big jogger stroller, filled up the cup holders with Kix, and we were on our way. We walked in an area of White Plains we'd never ventured before and found a sweet side entrance to the Bronx River Parkway... Yeah for my commute! So after our 1.5 hour power walk through Southern White Plains, we returned to our apartment complex just in time to see a firetruck and a motorcycle cop. Miles loved the lights. Apparently a car in the underground parking lot had spilled gas - they were just the clean up crew).

Miles got to shake hands with the big muscly, tattooed cop on the motorcycle, and smiled his pretty smile at the firetruck to get them to flash the lights, honk, and squeal the siren a little. Though little guy was startled, he smiled and clapped as they passed him. It was super cute and I was bummed that I didn't take my camera on our walk!

When we entered the apartment, we saw on the mail room TV screen that we had a package! Yeah... the three of us (Miles, Coop and myself) hauled across the building to the concierge in the other tower. She gave us our package! Miles' bike seat finally arrived!! Nate and I cannot wait to take him on a ride... now we are just waiting for the helmet to arrive (scheduled for tomorrow!!)

So.. when the excitement of the bike seat wore off... I took an opportunity to record Miles' favorite disobedient activity.. Watch below: He already broke one bowl... and he's fixing to break a second...

Ahh.. the beauty of little boys....!!

PS... Only 3 more days until we are in Iowa to see G-ma's, G-pa's, Aunts, and Unc's! Yeah!
