Sleep
He discovered crying when going to sleep would get me to go back in there since he never cried I thought something was up.  He then started up crying for 30 minutes or more in his crib.  Then recently after his cold, I let him fall asleep on me in the chair and now he wants to fall asleep on me in the chair every time...and I have let him every time for the past week.

He falls asleep near 9 pm. He wakes up near 8 am.  Then starts his nap later and later daily.
Eating
Miles loves to eat apple jacks out of a snack cup. That is usually his breakfast.  He eat lunch, snack when picking Ella up, and dinner.

Sample Schedule:
8 PM - start bedtime routine, clean feet in sink if they need it and wipe him down, diaper, benedryl, books, sit in chair until he falls asleep.

Special Moments
On June 11, Miles says “No car seat. Run” while I was putting him in car to get Ella.
On June 15 Miles has had a runny nose last few days.
On June 17, Miles got his first haircut. Miles had a dry diaper and then he peed in the potty before bed!
On June 18, Miles went and got something out of freezer. He opened freezer himself first time.
On June 22, Miles said, "Need blanket.” I said, "I don’t have a blanket." He said, “Need hoodie” and points to my hoodie. He said he was cold. I gave him my hoodie.
On June 27, Miles was stacking blocks for the first time.
On June 29, at 4:48 AM, Miles cried for a few seconds but back to sleep on his own. Bedtime was late and there was lots of crying :(
On June 30, Miles just asked me to go potty. I said “do you have to go potty?” (sometimes play and potty sound similar.) He said “have to poop”. He peed right away on the potty and then pooped. His first poop on the potty. He got a cold. He had a bad time crying at bedtime again! He learned stalling tricks saying he's too hot and needs us to remove clothes and saying he has to go potty. He did pee in the potty during the stalling though.
On July 1,Miles slept with the light on since he has been crying a lot falling asleep. It didn't go so well and he woke up at 3 am. He did have a cold too. He cried in the crib when I tried to put him back in but since I knew Dave had to wake up in 2 hours to start smoking the pork, I was nicer about it. Then at 4:45, I got him in the crib and I sat on the outside holding his hand through the crib slats. I couldn't handle sitting any more so I left at 5:11 and he cried. But he only cried for 2 minutes. It was already getting daylight by this point! At 11:35, Miles climbed up the back of the chair to get on the super high counter to climb over and try to get to cupcakes for Ella's party. On July 2, Miles got his hand stuck in the car door. He had diaper rash issues and was in pain so he wanted to wear undies. When he stood to eat, I knew he was in pain so I let him wear undies and he peed in the potty twice and had 0 accidents after 2 hours of undies.
On July 3, Miles went a couple hours again in undies. This time he did have a pee accident.
On July 4, Miles didn't want to wear a diaper. He’s worn undies for a portion of the past 3 days. “Don’t put diaper on me." He spent 5 hours in undies. He only had 1 accident while he was eating in the high chair and I was upstairs at the time and he was crying and crying. So maybe he was trying to get our attention first. At dinner the poor guy had poop explosions up his back while he was wearing a diaper and in the high chair.
On July 5, he had a bad time going to sleep yet again.
On July 6, Miles said he had to go potty. Then carried his potty chair from other room. Then I helped him sit and he peed a lot.
On July 9, Miles had a dry diaper after nap then peed in potty.

Development:
He wants to wear undies a lot and not wear a diaper. He has used the potty a lot asking to go. I've noticed he can jump. I'm not sure when that started but he's pretty good.  He can kick a ball. He's getting better at throwing balls where he wants them to go.  The opposite of development is Miles became to aware and won't go to sleep himself.

Communication:
He gets shy around some people but for the most part talks a lot. He'll still give high fives to people. When he gets tired, it's harder and harder to understand him. I can understand everything when he's not tired but some stuff is a little unique that other people that aren't used to him have trouble understanding.
