Can't fight the moonlight

oooweeee, did we have a big weekend. It might take a while, but let me tell you about all the cool new things in Miles's world. We went to visit his cousins Evan & Kate Thursday since daddy had to be out of town for the weekend. I knew he was close to crawling, but when he saw the very mobile cousins, he was raring to go. He hasn't done an across the floor crawl yet, but he's made it a few feet in the normal crawl style. He's also very good at moving backwards and rolling to where he wants to be. So in combinations of roll, scootch and stretch he was a very big boy while playing with them.

We expanded his palate tremendously. He was not content to eat pureed peas while watching those two dine on quiche and pancakes. He didn't get the quiche, but he did enjoy pancakes, lima, green and white beans, carrots, goldfish, graham crackers, banana pieces. But the best "dining" experience happened when Kate fed Miles with her empty bowl & spoon. She stirred the bowl then held the spoon to his mouth and said "AH". And he opened wide! Then she said "Mmmmmm" and did it again! Elizabeth and I were laughing, we barely caught it on film.

Saturday we enjoyed watching Evan's soccer game. I asked Evan what position he played & Coach/Uncle Shay laughed. When the game started I understood. It was a squealing herd of kids chasing the ball. We heard the strategy from the pregame huddle loud and clear: THAT WAY! Mary Grace was the star, scoring about 6 goals. Of course that's not hard when the goalie, faced with said herd, decides he'd rather go talk with his mom.

So we're back home now, tired all around. Early to bed... one down, two to go.


P.S. We saw LeAnn Rimes! She was in her convertible (black mercedes?) leaving her house on Hillsboro Rd.
