Happy Birthday Miles!!

I can't believe Miles is already a year old. Between seeing him next to Quincy and the whole year-old label, he just seems bigger. We spent the morning ferrying Simon to camp and then met up with Matt at the mall to do Build-a-Bear (or monkey in our case). We did the same thing with Simon on his first birthday so we decided to make it our tradition. Miles' was pretty uninterested with the whole process, so Simon basically took over monkey making duties. He was thrilled to the push the stuffing pedal, refill the stuffing machine, fluff the monkeys and play on the computer. They even refilled his monkey and stitched him up so he won't be hemorraging fluff all over my car anymore. He wanted to name Miles' monkey Frank (like his), then cardboard?? but he settled on Edward.

We finished the day off with a combo birthday party for Miles and his cousin Braedon. Mostly the party was for Braedon but since it was on their actual birthday, Miles got to practice being the centre of attention, candle "blowing" and eating cake.
