Miles Turns One

Miles has been celebrating the end of his first year in a variety of ways -- cutting his top two teeth, climbing our stairs and stepladder, pulling the bath plug and jamming a key chain thoroughly down the drain -- but this weekend he paused to eat his first cupcake.  

                              

                                       

He took a taste...

                                    Decided it merited a more aggressive approach...

And successfully fended off his brother's attempt to out-eat him:

                           After a bath, it was on to a couple presents and an ever-entertaining musical card.

A couple days later Noah reclaimed the spotlight by finding a pair of scissors in a desk drawer and using them on his hair.  Did quite a job.  Trimming the top center of your head straight down to the roots makes for an interesting effect.  Very avant garde -- yet in a way that also suggests homage to Randy Quaid's Amish rube in Kingpin.  Before he pulled that stunt, though, we made some orrechiette.
