Month 10 {dancing, pushing walker, DJ}

We are in the double digits! It is crazy to think that we are already starting to think about ideas for Miles's first birthday. Miles changes everyday. There are days where I just watch him doing things and can't believe we were blessed with such an awesome and smart little boy. It is amazing to just sit back and watch him.

Christmas! Christmas is already my favorite holiday, but this year was even better. Having a kid brings a whole new magic to the season. Watching Miles on Christmas morning was hilarious. He would open a gift and really just wanted to play with that gift and didn't care about opening anything else. After a while, I ended up opening most of them for him :) Can't wait until next year when he actually knows more about what is going on! 

Hands Down- We went to our first Hands Down Christmas party at Scottish Rite Hospital. It was cool to go to an event that was just for people with limb differences. There were tons of kids, teens, and even a few adults. We sat at a table with a 22 year old girl that has been a patient since she was 6 months old and we met a man around 60 that said Miles was his "mini me". It was a fun experience!
