my tunnel

Myles got a tunnel for Christmas. He loves playing with it and usually at the end of the day I end up putting it back up (it ties in 3 different spots) and put it in a basket. Every day since Christmas day he'll go up to that basket and get his tunnel out for us to open it for him.

Christmas 2010

Myles had a great time on Christmas morning. Of course he's still too young to completely understand what's going on but he still enjoyed tearing the paper and getting new presents. Instead of having him tear into all of them at once we took our time and let him open one and play with it then another one etc. It was quite enjoyable that way too.

Myles' favorite toy was a pretend blender. He got a play kitchen for Christmas from his grandma and papaw Roland and I happened to see this blender in Walgreen's one day and it's his most favorite toy!

We are so blessed to celebrate Jesus' birth and excited to see Myles grow more and more

it's been a while...

I can't believe it's been this long since I've done anything on the blog. The Holiday's really have made it hard to get anything

done on the computer....and it's even harder to get lots of pictures taken of Myles. Over the past few weeks we've all been pretty good. Busy of course, but healthy and happy and ready for Christmas.

Myles is saying so many new words now and it's just so neat to see how he understands what we ask or say. He sometimes has his little fits (which I guess will happen more and more as he gets closer to 2) but overall he's still our wonderfully good boy!

December 3 - 6

So...I haven't been keeping up with the blog as good, it's been hard because we've been busy - of course. This past weekend we left work on Friday and drove to Winston-Salem where we let Myles go home with Grandma and we went to eat with some friends (Luke's close friend from high school and college and his wife). The next morning I did some Christmas shopping, then Luke went to shop a little after that. Myles had fun playing with grandma and papaw. He also got to see his aunt Ashley and uncle Orlando, who he loves to be around!

Sunday after church we got our Christmas tree and tonight (Monday) we put the decorations on it. Myles was scared of the Christmas lights at first (who knows why) but after he saw daddy put them around his head he laughed and started to do the same. We had fun.

*one of the pictures is of Myles and his grandma eating. He was using his spoon like a big boy, to eat his sweet potato. The other picture is of Myles when he first decided it was ok to touch the lights (or "biiigh" as he says it).

GO!

Today was a cold day in Charlotte, probably the coldest day since we moved here.....but not as cold as Boone! Tonight I made some healthy turkey chili, with pureed carrots, and red and yellow peppers. Myles liked it for the most part. After that he and dada watched basketball. Luke would say "go" and put his fist up in the air. Myles would put his hand out in the air and said "dooooo" since he can't say his g's. You can see him in the middle of hollering "dooo" in this picture.

yup

busy day - Luke stayed home sick today...other than that we're all good. :)
