MILES SAMSON...
This month was the a big one one for you. You grew your first two teeth - you accomplished the impossible task of sleeping through the night thanks to the sweetest sleep consultants - you started crawling - you started pulling yourself up. In just one month, you flipped from squishy infant to full on BABY!!! I am so proud of you and equally my heart is sad. I love the newborn stage - the silent hours of feeling you breath on my chest - the constant need to be near each other. I feel you finding your independence and it makes me so proud and so sad at the same time.

Although you are my big, sweet boy - you're a Mama's boy at heart. At this moment, you seem to really want to be near me (or someone) at all time. You love to be held and you LOVE to hold one to someone's hands while you stand. You know your name well and come crawling over if anyone yells MILES!
You are starting to wave and clap a bit - it's so so so cute! You flap those sweet arms up and down when someone enters a room. Your favorite thing to do is dance - swaying back & forth to any / every tune. You LOVE TV - maybe more then anyone I know? Your favorite shows are Sesame Street & Little Einsteins. Your favorite toys are anything that makes noise - any remote - any cord you shouldn't touch - and little cars. You also love to play with Mama's phone and I can't believe how well you know how to swipe an Iphone.
Sleep - we're FINALLY doing well. Even with the doozy of horrible teething and a nasty cold this past week, overall it's incredible how well you've done. In the span of 2 weeks, we managed to stop nursing overnight, you sleep through the night most times and you nap really well in your crib. The biggest issue is early morning wake ups (currently, your wake up time is 4:45 AM) and naps on the weekend. BUT - overall, I can't complain. You go to bed somewhere between 6:30 - 7:00 most nights.
Food - you LOVE EATING. You'll try anything and it's so fun doing Baby Led Weaning with you!! I'd say your favorite foods are yogurt, mango, pasta with sauce, eggs and puffs. We are still doing great with nursing - if I was going to Hawaii in May, I'd say we could continue forever. I love it and so do you :)

You have two teeth on the bottom with 3 more coming through per the doctor on Monday.. I feel so bad as I think it's been reaaaaallly painful the past few months. I can't wait until that pain stops for you!!
I signed you up for swim lessons starting in April - I'm so excited for you!! You love the bath so much - I imagine you'll love swimming in the big pool!!
You are really loving your days with Miss Kristen - she's such a blessing!! You do art projects with her and they are so beautiful. You love finger painting so much!!

I need to go shopping for you as the bulk of your clothes are way too small. My little chubby ham!!

Layla, Benny, Dada & I can't get enough of you - you are the light of our lives.
