Here is a video of Miles counting and singing before heading to bed a couple of nights ago. We finally got to record him count in Arabic. Miles loves to sing and count every day. It cracks me up when we're just hanging out - he'll be counting & singing to himself while I do my own thing, working or cleaning up. Fun times. =) He is a very sweet & entertaining kid. Our little baby is growing up!

Time with Inay & Tatay and Drumming in NJ
My parents left out for California yesterday. We have had a great time with them here. Time went by so fast. Miles had so much fun with them. We all agreed that in the 2 week time span, Miles grew up and learned so much.
During the 2 weeks, Miles slept in our room and each morning, after hanging out or sleeping in our bed, he would get up and go to the other room to wake up my parents. They loved the daily wake up call =) Miles would go in there calling out "Tatay!" =) It was adorable. He loved counting and singing many songs to them. He loved getting everyone to dance together. (And I mean everyone, no one could voluntarily pass on the opportunity to dance, Miles enforced it. haha) He has been singing the ABCs (of course), Itsy Bitsy Spider, and now Mary Had a Little Lamb. So cute to watch him walk around the house, just singing. =) He loves to count in the 3 languages he knows and his numbers are getting clearer.
Miles loved to hug and kiss Inay & Tatay. He loved to be around them. If most of us were in one room, he would go to the one person alone in a different room and take their hand to join everybody else. It was so fun to hang out with Miles with everyone. He loves his family. I'm excited to have another family get-together again. Miles' 2nd birthday? =) Now that Inay & Tatay have left, Tim & I can definitely tell Miles misses Inay & Tatay. He asked for Tatay when we got home. He sat at the bottom of the stairs and pointed up and asked "Tatay?". This morning, Miles was excited to go downstairs and asked for Tatay again. He figured since he didn't see them in his room like usual that they were probably already downstairs. =) It was so sad and sweet at the same time.
I'm so thankful that my family got to visit us here in Connecticut. I'm so grateful that the weather was good for us and for all of my family traveling. It really all worked out so nicely. I'm really grateful that my family in New Jersey did not get affected by the hurricane. It's so sad to see the news and hear of people still out of power and without water. I'm so thankful to the Lord that my family is safe and healthy.
Also, enjoy this little video I took of Miles drumming at my cousin's house in New Jersey. He did really well! I'm very tempted to look for a mini drum set for him =)

Happy Halloween!
We did a double duty of trick or treating this year. In the late afternoon, we went to a nearby outdoor mall that had a trick or treating event. There were soo many kids there even at the end. We were pretty late getting there, so it was pretty quick. Miles loved the speaker outside of Brookstone. He danced there for a little while. We couldn't get him to keep moving to other stores! He loves music so much.The kids had a lot of fun. I'm so glad my family came to visit..and Miles had his cousins Lily and Ian to play with during Halloween. After the mall, we went home to relax a bit.. and headed back out to a neighborhood. That was pretty cute. Lily & Ian pretended to not be scared of some Halloween decorations. haha "They're just decorations, Ian" - Lily Miles did great through it all. He had a great time.
Halloween is also my dad's birthday. We celebrated his birthday today instead - with a special lunch made by me, and a delicious steak dinner made by Tim. We sang happy birthday complete with a birthday brownie tonight too. It has been a fun few days.
So cute & yummy!
