Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Myles got to celebrate his very first Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, we all went to my parents house to celebrate Christmas with my mom's side of the family. There Myles got to open his very first Christmas present. He did a great job. We even got him to rip the paper from a couple of his presents. Granted he was more interested in the tissue paper and boxes more than anything.

Christmas morning came and to Myles' surprise, there were presents in his stocking from Santa. He was pretty curious as to what was in there. Around 7:30 am, my parents and my brother and his girlfriend, Sarah came over to have breakfast and open presents.

In the afternoon, we all went over to my aunt and uncle's community center at their apartment to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. Myles was pretty much the center of attention. We had lots of fun just socializing and playing games. Unfortunately, Myles was not feeling the best due to him teething and his stomach didn't seem to agree with anything he ate.

By the end of the day, Myles had enough of his first Christmas. He was starting to get crabby and tired, but over all it was a great day.

Myles' 1st Time on Santa's Lap

Today James and I took Myles to go see Santa at Crossroads. He did such a great job. He didn't cry or act scared. He just kind of sat there wondering who the heck is this guy and why am I on his lap. We tried to get him to smile, but no luck. Oh well, maybe next year.

Pickles and Myles Mix

Last week while James and I were eating dinner, Myles was starting to fuss sitting in his highchair. We decided to give him a pickle to gum on because I knew he was teething at the time and I thought a nice cold pickle would help. Let me tell you it did. The results speak for themselves.

Myles' 1st Tooth

Over the weekend Myles' 1st tooth finally broke through his bottom gum. I am such a proud mama! If that is not enough, yesterday I noticed his second tooth starting to come in. Before you know it, he will have a mouth full of teeth.

I do not have any good pictures of him smiling yet where you are able to see his teeth, but when I do, I will be sure to post them.

Sighting of Myles' 1st Tooth!!

When I picked Myles up from daycare today, Kelly told me she noticed a little white bump on Myles' bottom gum. Sure enough when he laughed earlier tonight I saw what she was talking about. This explains why over this past weekend he was not himself other than having a cold that he has been fighting for the last week or so. He's teething!! Ya!!

6 Month Professional Pics - Myles' 1st Thanksgiving - New Daycare

On November 5th, Myles had his 6 month pictures as well as we had our first professional family pictures taken. He was such a champ. Not cranky what so ever. Plus he was awake and smiling.

From now on, James and I have decided to alternate holidays between both of our families. It just gets way too hectic to try and go to everyone's house in one day so this year we went to the Hemminger's Thanksgiving over at my aunt Jeanna's new house. Myles had a blast. He was the center of attention. He also enjoyed getting fed turkey, potatoes, whip cream, and pie from everyone. I was a little hesitant at first because I did not want Myles to get fed too much to where he gets a tummy ache.

On Monday, Myles started new daycare. Her name is Kelly and she is just starting out in the daycare business. Right now she has only one other child that she watches besides Myles so it is nice to have peace of mind knowing he won't be neglected.
