Miles' Birthday Highlights

As compared to the other 1 year olds, Miles' birthday was pretty low key. All the mothers in my mommies groups planned elaborate birthday parties that all included formal invitations, rented gyms, 100s in Hillsborough etc. We pulled together a little last minute something for our special boy that included about 30 at our house for cocktails and food. Lots of friends and family came out to play with us. Karen, Miles' nanny, was the hit of the party face painting all the kids, and making balloon animals / toys. At one point, Miles' cousins, Cody and Kylie were running in circles simply delighting in their balloon sword and wings. Miles took most of the activity in stride, though was a little weary of all the activity. He spent the bulk of the afternoon in one of his grandmothers' arms or ours. But he did love all the attention!!! We got him a little leprechaun hat that we thought we would put on him to snap a photo before he ripped it off - but our little actor kept it on all night!! I think he loved making people laugh and smile - what a wonderful little boy!!
