So Hungry!!!

"I'm so hungry!!!!  Give me more!!!"

This is clearly what Miles is thinking as he tilts his head back and opens his mouth waiting for the next spoonful of food.  Pretty hilarious to watch....

Sometimes he gets a little frustrated when the food doesn't arrive in his mouth fast enough.

Training Has Begun (queue the theme from "Rocky")

Miles has been practicing his sitting so he'll (hopefully) be ready in time for Christmas.  Here's an inside look at one of his training sessions.  The locker room and practice facilities are generally off limits for the media, but this session was open to a couple local journalists.

Miles gets in a solid sitting performance during a Friday afternoon practice as Coach Scout evaluates.

Miles stops for a moment to pose and discuss his recent breakthroughs in practice.

Working on left and right hand stabilization techniques.

Only a couple more weeks until Christmas!  See you soon!

New Wagon

Miles got a wagon for Christmas!  Yesterday we went for a little ride around the house.  It was a new experience for him - he had a surprised/curious look on his face for most of the ride.  Judging by the picture, though, I'm pretty sure he liked it.

In other news, after feeding him some cereal a few times, he's really getting the hang of it.  When we fed him Friday night, he was visibly excited to eat and seems to have figured out the whole "open my mouth as the spoon gets near" thing. 

It still needs a little work as you can see, but the signs of progress are promising.  We're guessing it won't be too long before he wants to start feeding himself (or at least slathering food on his face himself).
