Myles Escapes the Heat

It is hot. The last few days, we have done various things to escape the heat...


Such as playing with water in the backyard...



Myles does his best Tupelo impression



Or hang inside...




Or relax in the cart while shopping at Whole Foods...



Or the SmithAldridge personal favorite, play at the beach!

Myles, 11 Months Old

Our boy is 11 months old & growing taller by the minute! Pulling himself up all the time & slowly beginning to "furniture surf" from the couch to the coffee table, we are now at the stage where everything's fair game. Poor Tupelo barely has access to water these days as we find ourselves removing & replacing her water bowl at least a dozen times a day. 

Getting braver & braver, Myles holds onto my thumbs to stand then amuses himself by letting go & free falling forward onto me. So much trust. Myles has even begun to play fetch with Tupelo - he'll throw her ball & clap for her when she retrieves it. And although he often prefers Mama in general, he has officially realized that Daddy is where the funny lives. Giant smiles & hysterical laughing begin as soon as Daddy arrives home from the ranch! Sprouting 6 new teeth (!) in the last few weeks, Myles is working on a winning smile to go with his funny sense of humor. And as always, quick with the hugs & kisses, Myles is a lovey man! XO
