Birthday Part 3

This time, shots of the party. Mostly Miles focused

I picked up some stuff at the local party store, crown, horn blowers, mustaches etc. to celebrate. got a few cute pictures with them.

Mostly you can see how loved Miles in from these pictures.  We are so lucky to have so many caring people in our lives.

Best Santa Photo of 2009

Yes it is early in the season but I think we can look NO FURTHER, Miles you took a classic picture today.   I should have known better as you were kinda on the crank side.  Either way, this photo is exactly how life can be. I like that you aren't posed and smiling because sometimes this is how it is.
I love you and can't wait to snap another Santa pictures this holiday just to see what else you have up your sleeve.

Big Boy Fork

Miles is trying to eat with a big boy fork and having some success!

Getting Ready for Ohio

Picked up some snow boots today and can't wait to break them in

Shadows

You are such a big boy. You can walk and hold our hands at the same
time. You eventually tire out and we carry you.
Snapped today during errands with us.

Phone call

Miles is making some calls

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey and potatoes today for you little one. 

Today I noticed you are getting one of your right second bicuspid (I had to look that one up)

I think it is an odd 7th tooth to add to the mix but whatever, at least i know why you have been having sleep issues and drooling like mad. Cutting that type of tooth is hard work.

Birthday Details

I will go more into the details on another blog... which is another thing that will be unveiled soon

until then, take a look at the details of the party. I wasn't really sure how everything was going to come together considering there wans't a "Theme" but i was so happy with the way it all did.

Birthday Part 1

Cake Shots

For your 1st Birthday Miles Mommy made you a vanilla cake with chocolate icing. I toyed with other flavors but came back to this knowing you would love it.

The cupcakes were vanilla and chocolate as well as cinnamon crunch with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.  They were all so yum. They barely made it through the freak of nature 85 degree October heat.  Either way, all of them were made with love for you.

Below are some shots from the cake eatting. At the bottom of the post is a full slideshow of the cake eatting madness.

All of the upcoming birthday photos are from the lovely Kara Frans

 

Birthday Pictures are In!

The link is sitting in my inbox. I am at work and can't even focus BUT I want to sit down with these suckers and pour over them. I just can't do that at work. So hopefully tonight I will share some with you.

until then, misery loves company. You must wait.

Just like Daddy

Always on the phone

Bitter Sweet Moments

Miles,

Today you woke up again at 5a.m. crying sad little whimpers. I tried to let you work it out but 20 minutes later you sounded so frustrated and sad I warmed up a bottle and went to to hold you.

You took a little of the bottle but what you really wanted was to be held. Just to put your head on my shoulder and feel my heart beat. I tried to put you down after your body went limp but you could feel it and griped hard. I gave into it and held you for 45 minutes. I was exhausted but also kinda missed this close time we used to have when you were a newborn.

You woke a few times and snuggled into my nook a bit more. Your tiny fingers gripped the back of my arms and I could hear your breathing change to slow and steady. You kept me warm and I soaked you in. I knew you weren't feeling the best and it made me happy to know that I could give you what you needed to feel better. A soft shoulder and a tight hold.

Here is to a better night sleep for you tonight little man. I love you more oodles than noodles

Kisses,
Mommy
