Myles & Santa 2010

We visited Santa in Old Town Spring, and Myles was very good. I think he thought his gifts were based on his behavior in front of Santa.

Afterward, we stop and some cake balls from a little shop next door, and when I offered Myles a 2nd bite, he swallowed the hole thing. His mouth was too full to actually smile, but he definitely thought it was funny.

Christmas 2010

My Future...

...is so bright, I have to wear shades!!!

Future Streaker

We're not sure why, but Myles sometimes likes to pulls his pants down to his ankles and waddle around. He thinks it's funny when he stumbles and falls down. Maybe he's getting ready for potty training...

Christmas Day

Myles had a great Christmas in our new house. He got lots of great toys including the Blue Dolphin ball pit you see in the back ground. He enjoyed openings the gifts and try to play with each one immediately after unwrapping it. It was funny trying to get him to open the next one since he was enjoying the previous gifts so much. These pictures are Myles opening his dinosaur and taking his 1st ride on his rocking pony.

Cold Weather Kid

The temperatures in Texas got pretty cold this year at Christmas. Cold weather doesn't stop Myles from enjoying the outdoors. We've got him bundle up in his Mickey Mouse jacket, and he likes his gloves too.

Overalls Rock

Myles got some overalls around Thanksgiving, and he looks great with his new shoes and shirt. The blond hair is really coming in and we've had it cut a few times. He does great at the hair cut place, although the prices they charge are ridiculous. This picture was taken in Myles' classroom at daycare.

Style Setter

Myles loves hats, or least putting things on his head. After dinner one night, he found a plastic pitcher in the cabinet, and presto!! he's a conehead!!! He wore it for an hour.

The Smallest Superman

After attending the neighborhood Halloween party dressed as Kermit the Frog, we stopped at our friends' house (Dwayne and Jana) for some drinks. Jana found this costume and Myles was very excited to wear it. It fit him well, and I think it gave him super strength, or at least super energy. He spent the next 2 hours running up and down the stairs and all around their house.

Halloween 2009

The daycare had their Halloween Party today. Myles (aka Kermit the Frog) got a ton of great candy. He's a sucker for suckers, and started to eat one with the wrapper still on.

Devious Smile

As we were packing for our vacation, Myles climb onto the bed and into our luggage. He wouldn't let us close the lid and zip up the bag. We took this picture and got him flashing his most devious look.

Crab Claws

Myles loves to get hold of a pair of oven mitts and pretend he has claws. When he has them on all the way, his entire arms fit inside. We're trying to teach him what "hot" is, but the boy doesn't have much fear.

1st Table

Myles likes sitting at his new table. We tried to feed him at this table, but we found out that he's too close to the dogs, so he's back eating in his high chair. The table is great for playing, especially coloring and his animal popup. We got 4 chairs in hopes that some friends will come visit once we move into the new house

I Love Barney

Myles took his first trip to Chuck-E-Cheese. He liked the Cheese band and skee-ball game. We also got this great picture of the purple dinosaur. The funny part was that Laura and I didn't remember the pizza being so bad.

Fast as a Cheetah

We went to the zoo for Brooke and Jack's birthday party. Myles liked the petting zoo where he got to pet some goats. On the carousel, nothing but the fastest animal would do.

DuBrul Pool Party 2009

Myles attended his 2nd DuBrul pool party and had a great time swimming and floating around the pool. He fell asleep on the way home (around 7:00 pm) and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Too Tired To Eat

Myles thought he could skip his nap, but a morning of swimming finally caught up with him when he was eating his dinner. After he ate some beans, rice, and a quesadilla, he started to drift off while he had his 2nd helping of beans. We think it's the first time he's ever fallen asleep in the highchair.

Father's Day 2009

Dad had a good father's day this past weekend. Laura gave us the "Me" and "Mini Me" t-shirts last year, and the "Daddy's my Hero" outfit is from this year. As you can see, Myles is getting bigger every day, and he's still a ham.

Love that Wagon!!!

Myles got a wagon for his birthday, and as you can see, it's a big hit. We took him on his 1st ride one night right before bedtime, and he had a great time riding through the back yard. We've pulled him around the neighborhood a few times, and even went to see cousin Greg (whose house is just a few blocks away). Myles has a lot of fun bumping around in the back and seeing all the new things along the way.

Myles' 1st Birthday Party

We had Myles 1st Birthday party on Mother's day, and he put on quite the show. After tasting his cake with one finger, Myles decided the best attack was a face-plant into the middle of it. I actually had to raise his head because I thought he might not be breathing well with his mouth and nose submersed in icing. He then proceeded to eat the whole cake, covering himself (and me trying to change him) with cake. The last photo is Myles showing everyone his belly after a long day of food, fun, and presents.
