He's not so much a baby anymore as he is a full of energy, fearless toddler.  He runs
everywhere and is always wanting to be doing what his big brothers are doing.  He's super
sweet and smiley, and everyone always comments how cute he is.  I mean that smile...
how can you not instantly just fall in love?? 

There are a few things that Miles absolutely LOVES right now.  One of those things is
Mickey Mouse.  Every single day he asks to wear a "hot dog" shirt, meaning a Mickey
Mouse shirt.  In case you don't get the reference, "Hot Dog" is the theme song to the Mickey
Mouse Clubhouse cartoon, so he equates hot dog with Mickey Mouse.  Needless to say,
we've had to invest in a few more Mickey Mouse shirts in order to avoid doing laundry
every other day.  It's worth it to make him this happy.  :)

The other thing Miles loves is sweets!  He's not a huge eater, but anytime he goes and
grabs a snack from the cupboard it's something sweet.  He'll walk up to me with a pack of
fruit snacks at 8AM and think that's a totally acceptable morning snack.  Cookies, cake,
ice cream, brownies, candy...if it's sweet, he'll eat it!

The other thing he would eat all day is smoothie.  Ryan makes us one every morning and
he'll have two full cups, and then drink more later on in the day if there's any left.  He
absolutely LOVES it!!  It's a much better choice than fruit snacks since we can sneak in milk,
yogurt and other things he normally wouldn't touch, so I'm all for his smoothie habit.

Other favorite foods - Pancakes (he'll even eat them frozen!), Fig bars
  

As sweet and innocent as this little guy looks, he's fearless!!  He climbs on and jumps off
anything he can. Nothing scares him!  At the Longfellow playground he'll climb to the top of
the tallest slide without a single care in the world.  I look on, secretly terrified, but trying to
do my best to let him explore on his own and build his independence.

I love this little guy SO much!!  I will never get tired of all his hugs and kisses.  I love hearing him call Owen, "Oh-nee, Oh-nee" and greet Joe anytime he sees him with the sweetest little "Hi Joe!"  Happy 2nd birthday buddy!!  You make us so happy!!
