jump Myles jump!

Mommy was gone a few days and the day I came home I took a bunch of pictures. It was warm when I came home on Saturday and Myles had some hot sweatpants on so I took them off and was about to put some others on and he put his shoes on...that's the reason for the pictures with the t-shirt, diaper and shoes! Later on that night he started jumping over these blocks and I loved taking pictures of him. Also, his hair is getting long so when I got it wet I spiked it up and it was funny.

is it potty time yet??

this past weekend Myles' grandma and papaw came to visit. They brought some awesome Sesame Street underwear and went went to Super Target where Myles got a cool new frog potty. We aren't starting potty training yet, but we were curious what he'd do when he sat on the frog. He got so excited and when his dada got the camera he just sat there and said "cheese" over and over. He of course never did pee pee, but when we decided to put his diaper back on he then wanted to carry the frog around with him because he liked it so much. We wouldn't let him because then he'd think it was a toy and we definitely don't want to start carrying the potty around when he starts to use it. Sooo, we put it up for now.

static electricity

this past weekend was so beautiful...we explored and found a park near our house on Saturday and we had a blast! they had a field we let myles run around in for a while then we took him to one of the 2 playgrounds and helped him go on the slides, he had a scared look on his face at first but as soon as he went down came the word "adain" aka "again." A little while later we decided to leave and we got to experience Myles' first huge meltdown, at least we were outdoors, but it still wasn't pretty.

Tonight i was folding a blanket and Myles thought it would be fun to run through it. I noticed a great deal of static happening on his hair so i had to get a picture...this just may be one of my favorite pictures ever...every single time I look at it I laugh

Mr. Myles eating lunch

I just had to upload this picture from last monday on Martin Luther King Jr. day - Myles' daycare was closed and we didnt' want to sit at home all day so we went to work and ate lunch with a group of ladies...Mrs. Capin was having her 68th birthday (she's the wife of a man who works there and has been friends with Billy Graham for many many many years). Myles was such a good boy and so cute...i just couldn't get him to smile for this picture though.

chocolate Myles

the picture is a little fuzzy because it's taken from my cell phone, but it's dark chocolate letters spelling out 'Myles'. Not only is it chocolate, it's chocolate from France! At work we have a couple of people that we are partnering with to start an Internet Evangelism website through the BGEA, which is really cool...but I always help them with their schedules etc. while they are in Charlotte, so they bring me chocolate! And...since Myles can't be with me at work during the day, I thought I would bring him to work...by spelling out his name :)

cheese

This picture was taken sometime a couple weeks ago when I was playing with our new camera. For the longest time I've been trying to teach Myles to say 'cheese' for the camera and sometimes I'll take a picture with him and he'll say cheese but then when I look at the photo his face looks like the normal "I'm ready to do something else now" look. But this time he actually did "cheese" for the picture and has the cheese face! The funny thing is, it makes him look different - it looks like a fake smile, haha.

January 2011

I haven't been able to do a blog in a while and honestly I didn't really think anyone was looking at it, but I'm happy to know some people actually miss it.

Luckily we've been able to avoid sickness in our house this winter...until the end of December. Myles got sick right around Christmas, then I got it and was sick during New Years. A week or so later, Myles got really sick with a high fever and was totally not acting himself so we took him to the doctor and got horrible news, "one of his tubes is coming out of his ears and there's an infection behind it." I was devastated because even though Myles' ENT doctor in Boone told us his tubes didn't really do anything I think they did something...they kept us out of the doctors office and his fever gone. So now, who knows what's going to happen, we may start that cycle over again...but I'm choosing to believe that it's not going to happen.

Myles finally got over his cold and after a week of antibiotics he seems to be better....except this evening his nose is running and his temp was 99 degrees and he had some goop in his eye earlier today....and Luke has felt sickish all week.

as i alway say...tis the season
