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.
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.
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.
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.
Myles is getting more independent each day, and he loves to try out new things. He recently started noticing the camera, and wants to hold it when ever we get it out to take his picture. You can also see that his hair is coming in a little more now.
While exploring our closet, Myles found a box of my old collector baseball helmets. He pulled each one out one by one until the box was empty. I tried to put each one on his head, but he only wanted to wear 1 (the Pirates). Last year's World Series teams (Phillies and Rays) were thrown to side the fastest.
Myles looks more and more like a little man, especially when he's wearing a golf polo and tan pants. Of course, everything still goes into his mouth (yes that's a flashlight).
Living in Houston, we don't have too much need for warm clothes, but it does get chilly every once in a while. Myles has one winter hat, but we think he looks awesome when wearing it. While out for a stroll, he wears it the entire time, but he's more apt to take it off inside.
Here's Myles in the bath again. The letter M is in his mouth, and the soap mohawk is perfect. I forget how much fun bubble baths are.
Myles loves his bath time. He especially likes to lay down in the tub and "swim" around. He splash us a lot, and the dogs think he's very strange for always taking a bath. The picture on the left is Myles with his favorite rubber duck. On the right, Myles shows off his new chompers - he likes to stand up on the side of the tub, so he puts the foam letters and numbers in his mouth so he can hold on the side of the tub with his hands.
I apologize for not updating the site in a while, but I have some good photos to make up for it. Myles started standing up a few months ago, and he's looks like a little man. Here he is showing off his GQ look - don't forget to check out his shoes!
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.
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.
Myles & Grandpa Fiegel share a laugh in front of the Christmas tree.
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.
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).
, it's not a dog treat! It a teething biscuit. Myles doe
sn'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.
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.
