Its My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To

The main event this week was our celebration of Myles' 1 year birthday this weekend. Myles was overwhelmed by all the people and spent much of the time in the safety of his parents arms, but when he was able to relax he seemed to enjoy himself. It was a good afternoon gathering complete with nice weather, grilled sausages, all types of wonderful salads, and of course so many great guests!


But, the party wasn't the only thing going on this week.

Swimming Class
Myles started his first week of swim class at Mills College this week. As with many new things, he took a little while to warm up to the situation but soon he was like a fish in water.


King Myles
One of Myles' favorite "toys" these days is the cardboard tube left over from a roll of fabric. He enjoys walking around with it in his room, feeling like a king.


Sleepless Nights
This hasn't been a good week for sleep. Infact, its been a pretty bad week. Myles hasn't slept a full night in atleast a week, and that means neither have Mom or Dad. Being up from 3am to 5am every night is taking its toll.

Gag Me With a Finger
Myles is exploring his mouth these days, including rolling his tongue, fingering his molars, and pulling on his tongue. He even seems to like to gag himself.


Pointing
This week Myles discovered the power of pointing to something he wants or wants to go towards. Thusly, Myles now does a lot of pointing. :)
