As loathe as I am to put words in my son's mouth, it would appear by any relevant measure that Miles's first Christmas was a rousing success. While he appeared, at times, overwhelmed, the hours upon hours spent receiving gifts and tributes ultimately led to his well-earned acceptance of his extended family members.

Day 303: Baby’s First Christmas!
It's hard to believe that Miles is 1) ten months old and 2) has arrived at his first Christmas! Happy holidays to you all, and may Christmas bring you the joy a young boy feels when he's trying to eat wrapping paper.
