Jim & Larren Viola, Day 3

Miles' New Digs...in progress

Miles is getting a new room (the former guest room) in preparation for the arrival of his sister, who will inevitably take over countless number of his things throughout his life. His room being the first, we are preparing it -- and positioning it -- as a big-boy room. Although there will still be a crib, he's getting a new-to-him toddler table and matching chairs, new rug and a new battleship gray paint job. Here's some pics of Jim in his room-painting debut...

Xmas Morning Pandemonium

Miles began ripping open gifts minutes after being plucked from his crib. Here are a few of him opening his new items.... Jim's reaction is captured here as well -- as he opened his new ice cream maker. Num, num!

The Dreaded Haircut

After months of pleading from Jim and close friends, I finally acquiesced and allowed Miles' first haircut a few days before Xmas. Here's several photos of me and Miles NOT enjoying ourselves, including one of me side-eyeing her comb as she prepared her tools.

Decorating the Tree

Miles helped decorate the tree before Xmas. In the days after, he particularly enjoyed un-decorating it as well. All breakable or important ornaments were strategically placed out of reach.

Nash Visits

Nash came to town recently with Kaisha for an evening/day of running around and getting messy. Here the boyz are getting cleaned up, just in time for bedtime. The next AM, they ran around and took a book break.

Miles' Classic Red Jumpsuit

Here's Miles wearing a jumpsuit, previously worn by both Uncle John and me. He wore it for about 10 minutes before the zipper started to itch. Too cute!
