On Saturday, Nana invited us to breakfast with Santa. After breakfast we went downstairs at the event to see the Parade of Trees. Mid afternoon we headed back to Nana's to help her set up her tree and get out some of the Xmas decorations. Miles played all day and even went down for a little nap. When he woke up he felt a bit warm. By the time we got home he was feverish. We drew him a bath and gave some Motrin. Like the trooper he is, he bounced back and started playing again. About three hours later the fever returned and we put in a call to the doctor. She suggested a trip to the after hours clinic. So we packed up our sick baby and headed out for a "fun" Saturday night.
By the time we reached the clinic he was burning up. They took his temp and said it was 105. Being the calm and rational first time parents that we are, naturally we freaked out. The doctors gave him some more Motrin and an antibiotic and told us he'd be better in an hour. Meanwhile they swabbed his throat for Strep and spent the next half hour reassuring us that he would be fine. Just as they had said, a half an hour later he had bounced back and was all smiles. We left the clinic at almost 1am and headed home to put our sick baby to bed. Today he woke up slightly feverish, but after another dose of Motrin and antibiotic, he has continued to play the day away, courtesy of Mommy and the new Nerf basketball hoop she bought him while waiting at the pharmacy this morning. According to Miles and his basketball, it has been "the best day ever". Mommy and Daddy have grown a few more gray hairs to add to their collection and are just happy he's feeling better.
Here are a few pics from our great day:

Waiting for pancakes
He's only stubborn looking when you want him to do something (so he never looks like this, right?)
If he could have crawled inside Nana's head to get away from Santa he would haveThese were all from the Parade of Trees or as Miles would have called it, "the room where I am not supposed to touch anything, but will try to touch everything":
Daddy's favorite tree made of "beer"
Nana wanted to do some shopping and Mommy was "done" chasing Miles so we walked over to the park across the street and Daddy took some more pictures:
