9 months
He has a new nickname: TANK. This kid is a bruiser. Happy to say that he is now over two months tube-free and just got invited to the hospital's NICU Reunion in a few weeks. Looking forward to seeing all the doctors and nurses who took care of our sweet little man for the first month of his life. 
Happy Easter!
After we had some Easter fun at home, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house. The Easter Bunny (EB) had left clues all over the house that finally led Miles and Sam to their surprise!

Taking Care of Miles
Miles came down with some sort of nasty flu bug this weekend. I grabbed the camera because I found Sam resting his head on his brother's pillow. I didn't get a picture of that but did get a couple of other sweet ones.

The Space Nut
It all started with "Goodnight Moon". From the time he was a little guy, we read this book to him and he always wanted to hear it over and over again. We used to think that it was just a phase. Sooner or later (we thought), he would lose interest in the moon. But it actually turned into something much bigger (and better!) than we could have ever imagined. He is so absolutley, genuinely interested in the moon, the planets, the solar system, the Milky Way, whatever it is. We took him to the Planetarium today. As he was looking at the posters reciting the planets (in order, of course!) and referring to the poster of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune as the poster of the "Gas Giants", the lady in the store dropped her jaw and asked how old he was. Yes, he'll be only 3 in a little over a month, but knows more about space than most adults. You can look around the house and know that a "space nut" lives here. The first pictures are my favorite...during February 2008's lunar eclipse.

Mr. Creative
Miles has the best imagination. Usually, it involves him going to the moon or a planet. Grandma Ellen found these great "tell me a story" robot cards and Miles is very good at using the pictures to tell stories. Tonight I wrote down his story for the cards below. This is how it goes...verbatim: "Schmool is falling down. The doggie flies through outer space. Schmool holds the doggie's tail. They fell in the Earth's crater. Then Schmool's daddy finds them. Schmool's daddy blasts off. He's completely shadow and I can't see him at all." My favorite picture is the orange, green, and brown painting. He made this for Sam before he was born and now it is hanging in Sam's room.
