Leaps and bounds


The title does not describe my movements (although now that I think about it, it probably does). But I was really referring to how much I have been learning lately. Mommy and Daddy have really been keeping me busy learning lots of new things. Mommy even put up some really cool posters to help me practice.

I already know most of my body parts. However, Mommy just recently introduced me to my elbows. I get the biggest kick out of saying that word "elbow".

I have also been working on learning my colors. Right now I know orange, purple, yellow, and blue pretty well. I am still working on red and green. I know orange so well that I even seem to find it whenever we are driving around town. You would be surprised at how many orange signs there are on the road. I also point out all the red lights I see. I don't think Mommy ever gets tired of that one.

Although I practice my letters every day I am not quite ready to share my knowledge with the world. So as not to discourage, I do point out the letter "I" whenever I see it written. However, I am keeping the rest of the letters to myself for the time being. If I give them too much they might expect me to perform at that level all the time.

In other family news, I got to go to Asheville to spend a few days with my Grandpa Rob for his birthday. He is really funny. He makes funny faces all the time. Sometimes I join in with him just to humor him. I can't have him looking silly all by himself. Asheville is a pretty cool place. You wouldn't believe all the good food that is there either! I can't wait to go back for another visit.

My other grandpa, or Papa as I like to call him, left to move to Richmond. I am pretty sad about that. But I know that I have to be strong for Nana. I have to try and keep her company while Papa is away. She says that Papa is gonna come back and visit us a whole lot.

This past weekend Mommy went away for almost 2 days!! I wasn't sure if Daddy and I were going to make it. But somehow we found a way. Daddy seemed a little sad without her. I did my best to cheer him up. I also made sure I was on my best behavior so that Mommy wouldn't worry. Daddy made sure to call Mommy every night so that I could talk to her before I went to bed. She even read me a book over the phone. I haven't figured out exactly how she did that. But she got most of the words right so I am not going to complain. I am not sure what all Mommy was doing while she was gone. But she sure was tired when she came home. So Daddy and I gave her a few days to get herself together.

Next week Mommy and I get to go with Daddy to Florida. So don't expect to hear much from me for awhile. :-)

P.S. my birthday is coming up soon....I'll be 2 on October 8th!! I can't wait. Daddy said that he'll just be happy to be able to say my age in years instead of months. He's so silly :-)

Love, Mr. Miles
