Christmas Eve Smiles

Myles is all smiles sitting with Great Grandma Bunnie. Myles enjoyed his 1st Christmas as he got to meet a number of new family members.

Santa !!!!!

Myles sat in Santa's lap this afternoon, and even got to pet a real reindeer. With his red reindeer outfit and elf like hat, Myles got lots of compliments and attention. Unconfirmed reports is that Myles put in an early request for a trampoline.

Christmas Tree Photos

Myles & Grandpa Fiegel share a laugh in front of the Christmas tree.

The whole family (minus Anna the cat) take their 1st group photo.

Playpen Picture

Myles loves his toys - so he likes to sit in his playpen where he can reach all of them. He also like the mesh sides because he can see out and watch us or the dogs.

Myles & Marci

For Thanksgiving this year, we were in Austin at Aunt Anita's house. Everyone was so excited to see Myles and marveled at how much he had grown. Myles was eager to show off how he could stand up (Marci was happy to hold his hands for balance).

No, it's not a dog treat! It a teething biscuit. Myles doesn't have teeth yet, but he really enjoyed gumming this biscuit and get himself (and Daddy) all messy. He was munching right before bedtime, so the last picture is more "sleepy" rather than "full". Notice that Sasha is waiting and ready to finish off any remaining food.

Future Doctor?

Myles is wearing his first set of scrubs. As you can see, he's mastered sitting up. Next step is the transition from laying down to sitting (or crawling). I'm sure he'll be running in no time.

I Can Do It!?

Myles has started eating solid foods, and he always wants to hold the spoon. Hopefully, as time goes by, more food will end up IN his mouth rather than on it. However, his parents both have the clumsy gene, so he made be in for a rough ride.

Nude Photo!!!!

We could not help but share this photo. We took it right before bath time, and Myles loves his bath. He splashes in the water and plays with his rubber duck. The duck squeaks, so Kira is always close by in case Myles wants to share his toy.

Smyles & Pumpkins

Myles' 1st Halloween is approaching, so Laura got him a Smiles costume. Luckily, he's all smiles in this photo with the pumpkins we (Mike, Marci, Greg, Matt, & Laura) carved. The pumpkin on the left is a spider and web (very cool), and the one 2nd from the right is a Pacman. The funny part was that after a few days, the Pacman pumpkin started to droop, so it looked like and old man pacman that wasn't wearing dentures.

Walking?

Myles has always had strong legs, so we thought we would see how well he could stand. With a little help from the computer chair, he supported himself...for about 3 seconds. That's Daddy's hands in the background ready to grab him when he started to lean. We know one thing for sure...as soon as he can walk - he'll be running.

As you may notice, his Peanut shirt is showing definite signs of Myles' teething. He likes to gnaw on almost anything - including our fingers.

Myles & Mason

Myles met his 1st cousin Mason for the first time when we had to evacuate for Hurricane Ike. Myles enjoyed hanging out with Mason, and we took some great photos - like this one of Myles examining Mason's foot.

Naps!

Myles and Kira take a nap on the couch. Myles laughs and smiles at the dogs all the time, and they don't mind when he grabs their hair.

Myles 1st Driving Lesson

Leah gave Myles his first driving lesson today.  He totally enjoyed it, especially the turns.

Birthday Boys

We tried to take a picture with Myles for Matt's birthday, but we had a hard time getting him to look at the camera. Maybe he'll follow Dad's footsteps and his first word will be "Cookie!!"

Bouncer Boy

Myles is getting big enough to use his bouncer, and he likes it a lot. His smile is an amazing thing..."Myles' Smile" is the greatest thing Laura and I have ever seen.

Bath Time

Myles loves his baths, but we're not sure about afterwards. At least he looks funny in his elephant towel.

DuBrul Pool Party

Myles attended his first pool party, hosted by Bill and April DuBrul. Myles was a big hit at the annual festival, looking cool in his shades and taking a dip in the water with mom. A short time later, still in the pool, he fell asleep.

King Myles and his court

Myles tries out his Bumbo for the first time, and he looks like a king on his throne. Laura always says that Sasha is a princess, so I guess that makes Kira the court jester.

Aunt Marci & Uncle Mike

Mike & Marci got their first chance to hold Myles and we got a great photo. I think Mike is trying to teach Myles his secret Hawaiian handshake.

Cool Dude!!!

Myles tries out some shades and flashes his 1st gang sign - I think the three fingers represents he, Sasha, & Kira.

4th of July

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the July 4th Holiday. They got to see Myles for the first time since he was born. Also, Anita, Wendy, Zach, Harold, Tammy and her girls all came to visit as well. Myles loved it outside on the swing, and the weather was great. Inside, Myles favorite spot was in the rocking chair - I think it was Grandma's favorite spot as well

Sleepy boys

Daddy does the hard work of watching the baby

Myles & Mom

Mom took this video where Myles give us a little smile (and some spittle) while wearing his green frog jumper.

Cool Outfits

Myles has some pretty cool outfits, but these are some of Dad's favorites.

Wookie T-Shirt

muuuaahhhhh!!!

The t-shirt says "Change Me...I smell like a wookie."

Myles 1st trip to the office

Myles visited Dad's office on June 11th. He was a big hit as 40+ people came by to say hello. One coworker said, "I know my son was that little once, but I don't think he was that adorable."

Our Little Thinker

Myles was born with his right hand near the side of his face. In most of our pictures, he has his hand up in this pose. We think he's contemplating whether or not he wants to held or to be fed.

Myles 1st Photo

Myles was born on May 13th @ 4:39 pm at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston Tx. He weighed 8 lb 15 oz and was 20 in long.
