(stats using WHO)
Miles wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00. Then he takes 1 nap a day. It’s mostly near 1:00. Sometimes it's a little later. He naps 1-2.5 hours daily. We start bedtime at 7:30 PM. He goes to sleep so well and even if he ever wakes up and cries for a second, he puts himself back to sleep.
Eating
Miles snacks in the morning upstairs while we are getting Ella ready or has breakfast in the car. He eats a bigger meal at some point before nap. He likes to eat right after nap. Then we get Ella and they snack in the car on the way home. They start dinner or snack immediately after getting home. The kids eat while I cook. Then they mostly don’t eat the actual dinner.
Start bedtime routine pretty close to 7:30. Routine is Benadryl, diaper change, put him in his scratch sleeves and sleep sack. Put on some ointments but most of the time I don't put on any. Then I read books to him. We read 5 or more every night (and before every nap.) He has some favorites but those favorites seem to change. I leave one arm out of the scratch sleeves so he can turn pages and lift flaps. He takes a book to the crib with him. I recently starting holding him and swaying and singing after books and he loves it. (I have no idea why. My singing is so horrible.) He always goes into the crib into the corner with his head on the pillow. I cover him with his 2 afghans and the fleece blanket. Then I turn on his night light elephant and he holds his book. He falls asleep within minutes. He sleeps all night. If I happen to hear him make noise in the night he goes back to sleep himself. He wakes up anywhere between 7:30 and 8:00 for the day. Get Ella ready for school, drop Ella off, and he has a snack in the car.

Special Moments:
On February 11, Miles climbed up and went down the slide himself at play place at mall. This is the first time he did this.
On February 12, he tripped, hurt his ear, and cried a lot. He said straw. I noticed he spins in a circle. He started a new thing of climbing up into his high chair, holding my hands, and then jumping off.
On February 14, after 2 days Miles can use the shape sorter. He is not perfect but better! If only I could find all the shapes.
On February 18, Miles fed himself cereal from a bowl. He got a bit better as time went on.
On February 19, I accidentally forgot to put 2nd scratch sleeve on at night on the 18th. He slept fine. He woke up in the morning and scratched his face though. Dave put Miles down for nap! (First time when I was home and maybe 2nd time ever.)
On February 26, He smashed his hand in hall closet door.
On February 27, I had to wake miles at 9:05 to get Ella to school or he could have slept longer. Then he didn’t wake when I opened the door and he slept longer. I didn’t have the heart to wake him. He slept 20 more minutes. He had an awful short nap. He wanted to sleep more, but didn’t at same time. There was lots of crying.
On February 28, Miles rode on the big swing himself!
On March 2, Miles walked down the steps holding my hand for the first time. He stepped and didn’t scoot on his butt. I sure was shocked. We never had steps when Ella was little so I don't have a comparison for this. Miles fell off couch and smashed face He had a bloody mouth. (When I documented this in my app, I wrote bloody, bloody bloody mouth.)
On March 3, Miles walked up the steps while holding my hand. I couldn't believe he just walked up instead of crawling.
On March 5, Miles started saying many new things. The best word over and over today was no.
On March 6, Miles says Dora when wanting Dora books. He's been for a few days but I forgot to document it.
Development:
He can climb up on the couches that were a little higher and he couldn't climb on them last month.
He's learned even more body parts.
He will sign water, more, all done, milk, and eat. He said many words one time but not really again. He has repeated animal names when playing peek-a-boo barn. He's said a lot of things one time but then not really again. He does repeat a lot of things.
