At his six-month appointment a few weeks ago, the doctor asked if Miles has started to show preferences. We'll let you decide for yourselves:

 Here's a happier video, to show that we're not totally rotten parents:

Happy half birthday Miles-poo! You are so dang adorable that I can hardly stand it. You rang in the new year by celebrating your six-month birthday on January 1, 2012. You accomplished a lot leading up to this moment. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

He eventually learned to be excited about what was inside the present, not just the wrapping paper and bows.
 Hanging out with Papa like a big boy.

 These next two are of him playing in Toys R Us.


He liked looking out the window of the airplane. Must get that from his dad.

 He met his baby cousin Elli for the first time. They were fast friends. He can't wait to see her again in April!

 Miles got two front teeth for Christmas (there is only one in this picture):



First Christmas with Santa.




Four generations:

I know you don't believe it, but my baby is soooo advanced.

Also, I think I'm scared that Bart is encouraging the endeavor seen below. But Miles is just so proud of himself that it makes me too happy to stop him!

He's been pretty worn out from the traveling and 6-month shots. Here's a picture of him sleeping in church. Maybe they should just call him to be a high priest.

**heart melting**

Just a video this time--and while I think Miles is pretty awesome in it, my singing is not quite as amazing. In case you would like to know the background on the songs, Bart and I made up both of them, and they seem to be the best thing to distract Miles when he is fussy. For Halloween, Miles was a super hero named Napping Baby, which was the inspiration for the song Bart made up to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O." The first song is the one I made up one day after we were substitutes in Primary. It goes to the tune "Scripture Power."
