(stats using WHO)
Miles wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00. Then he takes 1 nap a day. It’s mostly near 1:30. Sometimes it's a little later. He naps 1-2.5 hours daily. We start bedtime at 7:30 PM and 8:00 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. He no longer takes Benadryl before sleeping.
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 7:45. (We try for 7:30 but I fail at being done with dinner.) Routine is diaper change, change into PJs (or not), read books, put him in his scratch sleeves, sing songs, put in crib. After diaper change, I will put on some ointments if he needs them but mostly he doesn't. He is very particular on which books he wants to read. He takes a book to the crib with him. I either hold him and sway or sit in the chair to sing to him. He always goes into the crib into the corner with his head on the pillow. I cover him with his 1 afghan and the fleece blanket. I put one afghan right beside him so it touches his cheek. Then I turn on his night light elephant and he holds his book and a stuffed animal. 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.

1:30 nap routine starts (This time keeps getting later.)

Special Moments:
On March 12, Miles was pointing at my ears. I said does the teacher have an ear? (The one in brown bear Brown bear.) Then Miles said “two.” Miles has such an issue with getting a diaper change anymore and he does not want to lie down for it. I asked him if he wanted to start potty training and he nods so then I ask him if he wants to start going pee in the potty and he nods so he wants to start going potty in the bathroom so that he doesn’t get a diaper change let’s see what he thinks about this later. A few hours later Miles cried at the restaurant to go potty. He kept saying potty. I took him but then he got scared and want to go. Then Ella was using the travel party and he pooped in his diaper.
On March 13, I said Miles to him. He repeated. First time saying his name. Miles said iPad.
On March 14, I noticed that Miles has said full sentences today and yesterday.
On March 16, Miles had green fluffy poop twice today. Miles was putting fingers in his ears and not hearing. He loved it.
On March 17, Miles had a mild diaper rash
On March 19, we attempted first nap without sleep sack. It went way better than I thought. I had the freezer open gettin something. And I turn around and Miles has the ice cream. And he walks to the table. Pulls out the chair. Climbs up. And has it at the table. Also earlier I told miles we could go upstairs for a lollipop. He found a book and was showing me the “pop” and I asked if he wanted one. So then I put him down and held his hand and he walked. After about 4 steps he said "jump" and I told him no jumping while on the steps.
On March 20, Miles went to sleep at night on 19th in footie pjs not sleep sack and slept well.
On March 22, Miles did not want to nap. He was playing. Then he had a super late nap. Then I woke him at 5:15 pm to get Ella.
On March 23, I realize Miles is basically repeating all 1 syllable words.
On March 24, we went to the March for Our Lives today. Miles‘s first activism.
On March 24, I was reading five little monkeys to Miles. We were on the last page and the mama was jumping on the bed then I sat ask Miles if she was going to fall off the bed and he said to her “don’t fall.”
On March 27, I was singing to Miles for nap time I got mixed up on words so Miles told me!!!!! Something with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
On March 30, at my parents earlier Miles told us he wanted to go home to nap and he agreed he was ready to nap and he did not want to nap at their house. And just now I told him it was bedtime and he said ”no mama”
On March 31, Miles said “night night” to me before I even said anything to him when I put him in crib.
On April 1, Miles had his first day in over a year where he did not have Benadryl.
On April 2, Miles says "ok google" this morning clear as day when we were talking about clock music and he wanted to do something.
On April 5, I was running down the steps and Miles wanted to come. i picked him up to go down. I start walking down he said "I want to walk" so then I put him down and held his hand and he walked. After about 4 steps he said "jump" and i told him no jumping while on the steps. Not only says basically every 1 syllable word but he forms sentences and says harder words. He tries to repeat from books. He said elephant the other day.
On April 6, Miles jumped. He got feet off ground!!!
On April 7, Miles went the entire day without bennies. And I forgot to give him the bennies last night. So it's still in the syringe
On April 9, Miles took his first bennies in days. The syringe has been full and I finally used it.
On April 10, Miles fell going from family room to kitchen. He had a bloody nose and bloody mouth. He fell off the step stool later and got a bloody nose and lip again. (This time upper lip.) He's been forming sentences. He said "ate it all."
Development:
(I can't think of what to put here.)
Miles talks way more. I took off the categories of new words because he basically just says everything. He repeats. He will say 1 word to let us know what he wants. He has said sentences too. "Ate it all" is one he says a lot. He also says "need more." Most of his words involve food. Its funny when he sees a bottle and you hear him say "Bennies."
