tech savvy

Miles was sitting in my lap on the sofa when he glanced to the side table. His eyes got wide and he said "Oh!" then "Ah!" "Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah!"... it was as if he'd discovered his very own toy store... and he had. He's decided that his very favorite toys are the many remotes, phones, cameras, keys etc, that he notices on tables, desks and counters around the house. We tried giving him his own phone, but we quickly figured out why the age range says 18 months. The massive volume of teething drool has shorted the sound card so everything it says sounds like the Chipmunks! We also passed on a remote from an old stereo, but I still think he knows it isn't "real."

Since Miles thought the weekend meant you get up earlier, we brought him into bed for his morning feeding. When the TV came on (our alarm clock) we left it on low and Wayne put the remote on his pillow. Miles grabbed it and started playing with it. He flipped over to the VCR, changed the color contrast, muted it then turned up the volume. Then he hit #6-#0. Yes, he changed the channel to his favorie show, Higglytown Heroes. Okay, it's the only show he knows. It's what he watches from the exersaucer at 7:30 when we're getting dressed and Today starts getting too intense.

Unfortunately Wayne & I were cracking up too much to take a photo of that, but here's one from Friday when we went walking at Lakeshore.
