Friday, December 11, 2009 - Tonight was the first night of Hanukkah. My parents came over to light the candles with us and Miles got to open his first Hanukkah present. We got him a soother for his crib that plays music and lights up. I know Miles enjoyed his first Hanukkah and we are excited for next year when he will be able to open up the presents himself. :)

Saturday, December 12, 2009 - Today we went to our friend Kitty's house for a Holiday Party. Miles got to meet many of our good friends and we had fun playing Taboo. I still can't believe Miles was able to sleep through our VERY loud game of Taboo. Also, tonight was the first time Miles sucked his little thumb. So cute!!

Monday, November 23, 2009 - Miles and I went to Carlsbad to go visit Uncle Adam and Aunt Shilah. We went on a walk around Carlsbad Village and up to the beach. Uncle Adam had Miles in the baby bjorn. Miles cried for a little bit but once he got adjusted in the baby bjorn he fell right asleep. We had a lot of fun hanging out with Adam and Shilah.

Week of January 3, 2010

Thursday, January 7, 2010 - Miles and I met Uncle Adam for lunch at his work, Trader Joes, in La Jolla. It was Miles' first time in TJ. He got a lot of attention from Adam's co-workers, so he liked that a lot. Miles, Adam and I went out for Sushi at a place near his work. Of course Miles was sleeping the whole time but right when the food came he woke up :) I had a nice time catching up with Adam and Miles had a good time seeing him as well.

Friday, January 8, 2010 - Anna and Brian came over for take-out Chinese and a fun night of Wii. We played Super Mario Bros. on Wii which was so much fun. Even Miles had fun playing. (see picture above) Anna is so good Miles and she is going to be a great Mommy one day! :)

Satruday, January 9, 2010 - David and I decided to use our gift card Adam and Shilah had gotten us for the movies and we asked them to babysit Miles. We were only going to the movie theatre less than a mile away so we would be close just in case :) Uncle Adam and Aunt Shilah did an amazing job watching Miles and then even gave him a bottle. David and I saw the movies The Blind Side which was a great movie. It was nice to be out just the two of us but I got a really bad headache which put a damper on the rest of the night.

Week of January, 10, 2010

Tuesday January 12, 2010 - Grandma Linda and Grandpa Dale came over for dinner at our house. I had  to start making dinner at 3:30 for our 7 p.m. dinner because I was not sure if Miles would let me make dinner all at once. Grandpa Dale was making Miles laugh with his funny faces, Miles loved it!!!

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - Talia and Raegan came over today to hang out with me and Miles. We had not seen Talia in awhile so it was good to catch up. Uncle Adam also came by for a little while and we played Uno. Miles was talking a lot during Uno. Miles always enjoys spending time with Uncle Adam and Adam loves playing with his nephew. For dinner we went to our neighbors house, Megan and Winston. We put a blanket on the floor for Miles to lay down on and he talked the whole time during dinner. Megan commented that her and Winston never got to eat dinner together when their daugher Mackenzie was 3 months old. I think Miles enjoys hearing his own voice.

Friday, January 16, 2010 - Miles would not take his afternoon nap, but as soon as I put him in the car to go visit his Uncle Marcus he went right to sleep. Miles and I went go to visit Uncle Marcus at his new job in Mission Valley. We went to Subway for lunch. Then we went over to Gina's house and spent time hanging out at her place. Gina gave Miles his Hanukah gift which was his first set of mariachis :) They play in Spanigh and English so Miles can practice his bilingual skills. Miles had a long day out from 12:45 to 8 pm.

Saturday, January 17, 2010 - David went to the gym with Steve Lewis and Miles and I went on a walk with Leigh Lewis :) Miles did pretty well on the walk except towards the end when he got a little cranky. I think he just wanted to be fed, so when we got back to Leigh's I fed him and Steve got to meet Miles for the first time. After we got home, I was going to give Miles a quick change before we headed out to the beach with Tyson for a nice walk but then Miles peed while I was changing him so I had to give him a bath. David was cleaning out the sink for Miles bath so I put him in his crib naked waiting for his bath to get ready and then he peed again in his crib. So I wrapped him up in a blanket and fed him while David was still washing the dishes before we could put the bath tub in the sink and Miles peed AGAIN in the blanket. I should have just put a diaper on him before his bath. The whole family including Tyson, were going to go to the beach but with the cold weather coming in we decided to go to the dog park instead. This was Miles first time at the dog park and he nearly slept the whole time of course :) Everyone enjoyed themselves and we came back home for dinner and a movie at home.

Week of January 17, 2010

Sunday, January 17, 2010- Today was the first playoff game for the Chargers. Miles wore his little Charger's onsie and did not want to sleep all day. Both Grandma Wilma and Grandma Linda came over as well as Grandpa Dale and Uncle Marcus for the football game. David BBQ'd some turkey burgers and hot dogs. The Chargets lost against the NY Jets but Miles still had a fun day of talking a lot! He loves spending time with his family so he barely slept all day but we got him to bed early around 8:30 p.m. He woke up his usual 3 times during the night/

Monday, Januay 18, 2010 - Miles took about an hour nap in the swing from 11:30 to 12:30 and now he is happy bouncing in his bouncy chair. Miles fell asleep for the first time in his bouncer. It was so cute! He sat up on the couch and watched a little tv. He loves sitting up on the couch and talking out loud.

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - I had to go to the office today so Grandma Linda and Grandpa Dale watched Miles most of the day. Miles only slept for 30 min. at their house so Grandma had to entertain Miles most of the day but overall I got a good report back from her :)

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - Miles did some belly time today and he rotated himself all the way around on his belly! See the picture. He is really starting to move around a lot. Soon he will be rolling over! Not only is his neck getting strong but his legs are strong. Look he is already standing!

Thursday, January 21, 2010 - Another rainy stormy day in San Diego. Miles and I stayed in doors all day and I made a turkey spinach lasagna thhat took almost all day to make!! Since I was in the kitchen all day today I propped Miles up on the couch so I could see him from the kitchen, but when I looked back over it at him and managed to scooch himself and fall on his belly, so no more sitting up on the couch for Miles. I decided to try out the bumbo chair today and Miles look adorable! See the picture! He is getting so big! His head was falling forward a little bit but he was mostly able to sit-up in the chair all by himself!!! Oh yes, forgot to mention Leigh and Steve came over for dinner as well :)
