Miles has been standing and cruising for a couple of weeks, but on Monday July 31st he took his first three steps! Of course we are dealing with lots of bumps and bruises as we perfect this new skill, but it has been so fun watching him learn and get better each day!
Unbelievably we celebrated Miles' upcoming first birthday this Saturday! We decided to do a 'small' get together at our house with a 'BALL' theme. Miles' first word was 'ball' and anything that resembles a sphere is now known as 'ball'. So since interests at this point are mom, dad, food, sleep, and ball, we chose the most party appropriate. We made our back den a 'ball room' and carried the theme throughout the house and backyard. The food kept with the theme with sausage balls, meat balls, cheese balls, melon balls, and shrimp ball. We also had malt balls, cake balls, and a ball shaped cake for Miles! After we ate and Miles got his first taste of cake, we went to the backyard to play in the ball pit pools and the beach ball sprinkler. We had a total of 13 kids and over 25 adults. Needless to say our little home was crowded, but we loved every minute of it! Miles got some great gifts, enjoyed a day with his friends and family, shockingly loves sweets and cheese balls (eye roll), and had all his spherical dreams come true!
It is so hard to believe that it has already been one year and it has only been one year! It has been the most wonderful 12 months of our lives! I find it hard to believe anyone doesn't believe there is a God when you witness the wonderful miracle of life! We thank Him everyday for this intelligent, strong willed, kind, loving, unpredictable, and beautiful child!
I can hardly wait to see what the next year holds in our LIFE WITH MILES! xoxo
