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.

Inquisitive Myles

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.

1st Baseball Hat

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.

editors note: this box did not contain an Astros hat, which I'm sure will be a favorite.

I see the light?...now I eat the light!

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).

Winter Hat

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.

Myles is ready for a pub crawl.

Myles started crawling a few days ago, and we got some great video tonight. Of course, he has to be properly motivated to really motor, so we broke out some dog toys. Our lives will never be the same!!!

Soap Mohawk!

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.

Who's Your Daddy?

Laura bought this shirt a few months before Myles was born, and we almost forgot to get a picture with Myles wearing it. He's growing fast, and all those baby clothes are getting small in a hurry.
