Summer 2012 is coming to an end.

 I can't believe that the summer is coming to an end.  Schools are starting back up and hopefully the really hot days are starting to taper off.  Scott is home after being in Australia for the last 3 weeks.  I have said it before and I will say it again....I do not know how single parents do it! Milo didn't skip a beat with Dad.  He went running to him the minute he saw him.  I think being able to Skype and FaceTime almost every night really helped.

Milo is starting to talk more and more.  Still not a lot of words, but tons of noises.  He knows what many animals say and he loves to share his skills with random roars, monkey noises, and, my favorite, Cock-a-doodle-dos.   If you point to something blue and ask him what color it is he will say "BLUE".  Don't be too impressed because if you point to something red, green or any other color Milo will tell you it is "BLUE".  He will actually argue with you for a good 30 seconds over the fact.  He has really become a  little boy.  He is very rough and tumble and is always on the go.  I would say he is strong willed and pretty bossy.  He gets these traits from his dad.  He is also extremely lovable and funny.  He gets these traits from his mom :).  It has been the best summer of my life and I can't believe how fast Milo is growing up.

"Milo, Catch!"

An action shot on the slide. 

A day at the park with three grandbabies makes fore a tired Grammy.  Never too tired for some cuddles!

We have construction going on behind our house and Milo loves to watch the action.  Sometimes it is too loud so he has learned how to plug his ears. 

 We have made several trips to the zoo this summer.  Here is Milo showing Nana where the monkeys are.  "Do you see, over there Nana"

Milo and his Nana!

 Milo and Mom.  The giraffes where showing us their tongues so Milo was doing the same. 

what a great day at the zoo.  This little boy is ready for a nap.

 Milo's surprise face.  I love it!

 Get 'em cowboy!

Walking Bosco...or walking Milo...take your pick.
