Miles is 4 years old today, and no one is more excited that him.
I still cannot believe he’s 4. We waited so long to meet him and have been soaking in every moment since. He’s changing, growing, learning, and loving something new everyday.
The first few months
October 2009 – year 1
October 2010 – year 2
October 2011 – year 3
October 2012- today – year 4
Today, little man, you are 4 years old!
You’ve not only mastered reciting your alphabet, you can write most of the letters beautifully. You’ve found that you enjoy an academic challenge. You’re quest to be the best has finally extended beyond athletics!
Speaking of athletics, some things NEVER change! You can spend hours in an open grass lot running bases, fielding grounders, playing football or kicking a soccer ball. You’ve even proven yourself a talented skateboarder. Your father cannot get enough bonding through sports! Nothing melts his heart more than your love of “vintage” players: Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, and Jose Canseco. Re-enacting the weekend’s greatest plays seen on Sports Center or watching a full 9 inning baseball game are regular occurrences at our house.
This past year, you’ve camped a lot, attended a Bulls game, Cyclone Game, Cubs game, and an A’s game. You’re always telling your dad to work really hard so that we can buy the next set of tickets.
You’re a master baker, a great helper with chores, and a great singer. Your favorite songs to sing are Justin Bieber’s Baby, One Direction’s Beautiful, Selena Gomez’s LoveSong, and Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe. I’m still not sure where you heard most of these songs!
You’ve become quite the gentleman and are adaptable to most situations. You play well with adults, boys your own age, babies and the ladies. You understand your strength and know that different people play differently. You love to be “in-charge” of things too….
You want to be taller and faster than everyone. This has made you a bit of a health nut. You will reject your dad’s offers for ice cream after dinner because you think it will make you slow. You love to compare your height and arm length with us to prove how much you are growing!
Miles, I love watching you grow, even though my heart wants to keep you little forever.
Happy 4th birthday, buddy!

You are a fun little guy, Miles. It was great to see you at Uncle Caleb's wedding. I agree with your mom. I love watching you grow up, but I want you to stay little.
