Miles is starting to walk!

Our baby is almost a toddler! Miles is really starting to try to walk around a lot more and is doing quite well. He has been sleeping really well too and slept through the night 4 nights in a row! He does get up at 5:30 or 5:45am though, but we make it work. I think I might adjust his whole schedule back half an hour or so.

All three kids have had a cold, Reid's has been the worst. He had croup in the night when he first got it, which was scary. I couldn't get him to calm down and I was alternating from the bathroom with steam to the freezer to have him breathe in the cold air. He actually thought I was going to put him in the shower and the freezer so then he totally freaked out. I finally got him to calm down and it got better. Poor guy! Ruby had a bad earache the next night and I was up with her for an hour and a half in the night... so rough week! Miles has just had a slight cough, thankfully that's it. 

 Reid got his thumb stuck in his Hot Wheels track. I had to gently pull it out. Hah!

 Ruby was cold at breakfast so she got her coat on.

 Miles is getting a little mullet.

 And he loves to lounge. (Remind you of anyone, Mom?)

Reid has been "entertaining the baby" by Miles holding on to his tractor while he rides around the house. Haha! 

 Sweet moment. They really love each other a lot.

 We met some friends from Stayton at the zoo on Wednesday. It was cold, but really fun!

 Reid loved watching for the train.

 Riding on a goat

 In the afternoon we headed out on a walk to the park. They all love to swing.

 She wanted to try the baby swing. Haha! And she gets holes in her legging knees almost immediately.

 On the way home we saw a tiny green caterpillar/worm thing hanging from a thread. The kids had fun trying to touch it.

 Reid asked Andy to read "Darth Vader Has a Baby" and gave him the Berenstain Bears book. So andy read it as if it was Star Wars... it was pretty much hilarious. Then Reid was really upset that he wasn't reading the actual story. Silly Reid!

 My mini shopper at Safeway. He did really good.

 And then he "drove" us down to Greenhorn Park.

 She loves getting dressed up in her fancy clothes.

 The kids woke up SUPER early on Friday morning so we made popovers for breakfast.

 They were "Yu-u-mmy!"

 Playing doctor. "You have a little bit of blood coming out of your ear."

 Ready for a bike ride!

 Helping Daddy fix the slow draining sink.

 I love his happy face!

This is how we watched the Royal Wedding on Saturday morning.

 Here is a video of the most steps Miles has taken so far. It is SO cute to see him toddling around. :) Today he walked from the couch to the chair in the living room too. <3

 What??

 They fell asleep in Reid's bed together. <3

 Silly Reid got stuck in a box.

 Family foos ball game at Sunday School!

 This boy loves to eat. He just shovels it in and I can barely keep up with cutting his food up into little pieces. But then I scoop a bunch back out of his bib and he eats that too. Hahaha

 They put on a puppet show about birds building a nest and then flying south for the winter.

Going crazy throwing paper airplanes around the bathroom! It got a little loud.
