Smart Cookie!

Miles has been able to recognize who his mom and dad are for a long time. He knows our voices and our faces well. His new daycare made posters of family pictures for the room. Each kid in the "little panda" room has his/her own laminated 12x12 poster.

The posters are along the low cabinets in the room. The day they were posted, Miles went straight to HIS poster! He kept ripping it down, sticking it in his mouth and crawling away. He likes to use his mouth as a third hand to hold things while in transit - so its almost as if he's trying to take us along on his journey across the floor. Today was the 2nd day the posters were up. Miles continued his new little game of pulling down our family's poster. He has yet to bother the other posters! I spoke with his teacher and we have a little experiment planned. Sometime next week, when she returns from vacation, she is going to hide and/or move our family poster to see if he continues to seek us out, or if he'll bother the other posters..


I think its fun to see how his little mind works! Sorry, that kind of rambled! I'm just super excited that Miles can pick us out of a crowd!

Miles is on the verge of a new skill - I promise to keep you posted as he develops mastery! I've been working with Miles a lot, to learn to wave bubbye. Today, he showed me that he's at least paying attention. He started to do a little of the "hand bending" type of wave (as opposed to the whole hand shaking kind of wave.) His hand was low and not really in plain site of the person we were leaving, but we are getting there! I'm excited that he's such a smart little cookie! The other skill we are working on is trying to blow kisses. That's a ways off yet... But it doesn't hurt to try, right!?
