Myles had a wonderful birthday. The highlights are numerous. When he woke up, Mommy and Daddy sang Happy Birthday! to him. Then, at his daycare home, he received some really cool presents from Angie and her family, who threw a little party for him. On the way home from daycare, he received a call from Grandma and Grandpa T., who sang Happy Birthday! to him again. Around dinner time, he received a very mushy birthday e-mail from his Gramma A and loved it. When we returned home from dinner, we found a couple of packages on the front porch from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike, which were "extra" gifts so he'd have something to open on his birthday. We opened them and found some great birthday books which he paged through and enjoyed right away. After his bath, Uncle Dan and Aunt Tiff called and wished him a happy birthday, too. What a wonderful family he has!
The big action for the day was Myles's birthday dinner on the town. We were delightfully surprised when Myles selected our favorite local Mexican restaurant for his special meal - a very sophisticated choice for a 1-year old. There Myles did not enjoy the chicken strips and fries we ordered for him, but he did eat the squash and crackers Mommy brought. Still, it was not a total bust. Myles fell head over heels in love with our lovely young server, Xio. He flirted shamelessly, exploited the birthday boy angle and, at one point, even grasped her hand and refused to let go. She returned his affections with a piece of birthday cake topped with one candle and a group of friends to sing to him one more time, which he absolutely loved.
All in all, a wonderful celebration of a fantastic first year and the first day of Myles's second year...
...and many more...
Mommy took this picture at 9:00 AM this morning, marking the exact moment that Myles turned the ripe age of one:
