Cool Nights

Tonight's playtime was cut a little short tonight. On the way home from work, Miles and I stopped at the multi-level Walmart of White Plains to find a some new, warmer PJ's.

While in the baby section, a lady approached me and wanted to know how old Miles was. She was floored at how well he could walk and wanted to know what kind of food he eats and if he still gets formula. The lady's son was 5 days younger than Miles. She still hadn't let him try table foods and he had just started crawling. She talked like she was going to try introducing table food soon. By this time, Miles had picked up baby food (plastic containers)  from low shelves, walked down he isle and was toddling around the racks of baby clothes. He was moving soo fast! I had to of looked like that mom that can't control her kid in public....

When we got home, we took Cooper out to do his thing. Miles played with Fred the terrier and met 2 month old Vincent. His parents were parking near the dog lot and were about to get a tour of a couple apartments in our buidling. The dad was fascinated by Miles and said that he was looking forward to his new son becoming so active. Nate was the same way when we first brought Miles home. If you asked him now, Nate would probably tell you that he misses Baby Miles, but is having a blast with little boy Miles. Don't wish the baby away... They grow up soooo fast!! Enjoy th cuddling while you can!

Once inside, I took off Miles' boots and socks and sent him off to wrestle with Cooper while I unpacked the diaper bag. Muffled grunting caused me to glance down to the floor. Miles was crawling around with one of his (dirty) socks in his mouth, "barking" as he followed Cooper around. It was super adorable.

I rounded up a few things to feed Miles, placed him in his fancy high chair, and watched him feed himself.  He's a generous little man.  Miles would take a bite if his veggie stick, hold it out to allow Cooper to take a bite, and then finish up the veggie stick himself.  Miles was sneaky about it. After being corrected to not feed the dog, Miles would grunt at me and look to his left while holding the food out to the right. When Miles noticed that I saw what he was doing, he would slowly draw the hand holding his dinner back in just long enough to repeat the grunt.  Miles loves his puppy!!

Now... time for bath. I filled the bathtub with water and bubbles while Miles unloaded the cabinet.  I stripped Miles all of the way down to his all-natural body suit just in time for him to hear Cooper bark at people outside our apartment door. Miles took off in a naked baby sprint to see what his little buddy wanted. Ahh... Miles and Cooper!  I've really got my hands full.

So.. as far as the PJ's are concerned - I was looking for a pair that were warmer than the ones we already had. Walmart was all out of the fuzzy footie PJ's in Miles' size, so I settled for long sleeve and pants separates.  I bought them in 18M size knowing they'd fit a little tight.  I'll get to Target over the weekend to check out their stock of winter PJ's.  Our evenings have been dipping into the upper 40's and lower 50's. Where did the summer go?
