Milo Hanging Out In The Car

Milo and Kelly take Judy to lots of places for medical appointments and shopping. He spends time in the car waiting and waiting. He is such a great passenger and can entertain himself. He reads books, sings (well to his own tunes) and of course is in love with his sippy cup.

Milo Loves His Cheerios

See that Cheerio on the back of his tongue?
Now that is what I am talking about. Yumm...
The ultimate happy food.

The further adventures of Milo Kerrigan: April 29, 2009: Milo Learning Sign Langage

Judy and Lew's training included working with deaf students and adults for the first 5 years of their education careers. As a result they both learned sign language and taught many words and phrases to Kelly. There is a lot of research that says that signing to infants and toddlers actually encourages the development of oral language. Kelly is passing on some signed words to Milo.

Here is Lewis' take on what is going on with Milo and learning signs:

The further adventures of Milo Kerrigan: April 29, 2009:

Milo’s mom, our daughter Kelly, is teaching Milo a few signs as he grows. As Milo is being fed Kelly asks if he wants “more” and signs “more” with her hands. Milo leans back a little and mimics the sign: he receives his next mouthful of green gook. Milo loves green gook!

Yesterday Judy was munching on a Lorna Doone while walking into the den. Milo was crawling along the breezeway and spotted the cookie in Judy’s hand. Milo stopped crawling, got his feet under his butt and while perched on his knees he signed “more.”

He is almost ten months old right now and trying very hard to begin talking. However Milo IS communicating!

The following was taken on Sunday as Kelly gave Milo some Ritz Crackers.

A friend of Kelly's gave her a bag of these colorful balls. We bought the little blow up pool to put them in. This was sooooo much fun to watch!

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day: Ring in the celebration

Milo loves being outside. Of course he also loves to put the dirt in his mouth. Kelly took him to see the clematis which he seemed to think was pretty cool.

Spring is such a miracle.

Milo Standing For a few Seconds

Milo is learning to stand up longer and longer. Very Cute!





Good job. It is hard work standing up. I need a hug.




Mommy is so proud of me!



Doug thinks he is pretty cool, too.

Milo Sleeping in Car Seat

Milo frequently falls asleep in his car seat.

Milo in the Psycodelic Sling

Kelly and Milo took Judy to pick out the bedding plants for her yard. The sling makes carying Milo around a lot easier.

Milo Has His Spoon and Gran Has Her Spoon

Milo comes to Gran's house several days a week. He eats lunch and Gran gets to feed him. Much fun to watch and be a part of.

Milo and Kelly took Judy and Toni On Outing to Factory Mall in Franklin

April 8, Spring Break
Kelly put Judy's scooter in the car and away they went with Milo to meet Toni at the Factory shopping area in Franklin. Milo was the star of the mall getting lots of attention with his rabbit hat and bright orange stroller.




We went to the restaurant in the mall for lunch. Milo had corn, sweet potato fries, and rolls. I kept giving him small pieces thinking he was very, very hungry. Did not realize that half was going into his mouth and the other half on the floor. He was having fun dropping the pieces on the carpet and looking at the great patterns of yellow, red, and white. He got really sleepy and yawning took over the eating. He was in the high chair for over 30 minutes and received a lot of attention from the folks passing by the table. When he got in the car it was immediate snooze town.

The elephant was so happy to see them.


Milo and Kelly looking at the Zoo pictures. Can he really figure out which one is the elephant? I say yes he can!

Milo Is Great to Take Out To Eat

Kelly and Paul love Sushi and take Mile to their favorite haunts. Milo is happy to go with them and hang out. He says to pass on the Sushi and prefers to have his pacifier, bottle, and Cheerios while he watches them eat raw fish.
