The Day After Christmas


12/26/07: It’s the day after Miles’ first Christmas. I think he had a blast. It was presents and more presents and eating and fun and parties and he just loved it. In fact last night was the first night (that I can remember) that he (and I!) actually slept all the way through the night! He fell asleep in the car on the way home from Ganny’s house and then stayed asleep when we arrived home. The first time he woke after I went to sleep was at about 5:30 am. When I rolled over to look at the clock I was amazed and so relieved! He nursed and we both fell immediately back to sleep until 7am. I don’t think I’ve slept more than 3 hours in a row in months. Try 11 months. So hopefully this will be a new thing. I love sleeping. I really do.

Today on the day after Christmas, we went to the beach in Coronado. It was beautiful, sunny and cool. Miles and I walked for a while (he was in the Ergo) and he slept. When he woke up we made our way back to plop in the sand and get good and dirty. Miles cawed at the Seagulls and gawked at the young surfers. Mostly he played in the sand, amazed that he couldn’t keep it in his grasp. If you’ve read this blog, then you know at times I get totally blissed out on this life and how amazing our world is. Today was one of those days. Miles and I are so lucky to have each other to explore the beach, the park, or the living room. I’m just so glad it gets to be me raising him and not a stranger.



After the beach we met Daddy for lunch and ordered Miles’ his very own meal. Grilled cheese Sandwich. He ate an entire half. Now we just need to work on getting those veggies and fruits on his menu. Right now he’s all about the bread and cheese.

I took a bazillion pictures of him on the beach so I’ll post a favorite or two.
