Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas, we hope the holiday season finds everyone healthy and happy. We feel truly blessed to have spent the weekend with our families. Miles had an amazing first Christmas and it was highly entertaining to watch him open his gifts. Everything went straight to his mouth (be it toys, clothes, wrapping paper or bows). Now we just need to find room in our apartment for all his new toys!

Allergy Uh-oh

Well, Miles had his first brush with an allergic reaction this week. I made him some whole-wheat macaroni and cheese. He wasn't interested at all, ate a few bites and started whining and fussing. This was especially strange since he loves trying new foods. By the time I got him out of his high-chair, he was covered from head to toe in hives (especially around his mouth and hands). So for now on, Miles won't be eating any wheat or dairy products until we can figure out which caused the reaction. Poor baby...we were really hoping he didn't inherit his Mommy's food allergies. On a happier note, he loves loves loves broccoli (any veggies really) and had a ton of fun eating it today :) He is also really close to crawling, he gets up on all fours and rocks. And something that his mom is really excited about, only waking up 2 times per night! Can't wait to see everyone for the holidays :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

Well, Eric and I got out the Christmas decorations this week. The first thing Miles did was roll over to the tree and attempt to rip open a present! We will see how long the presents (and the tree!) last :)
