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.
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.
, nothing but the fastest animal would do.
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.
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.
