Happy 1st B'day Lillianna!

Milo's g'friend turned one and here are a few shots of the party!

Diggin' into the cake! It's good to be one...

Surrounded by a family of photogs...

Milo rather enjoyed his little pink hat.

Oh, yes, I'm THAT kind of mother...

Some more parallel play for these youngsters

Still trying to catch up to a more vertical lifestyle...

Finally, back home for one cranky, tired little man...ah, nap time...

Learning how walk/crawl w/ Unc. Aaron

The BFF came down from Massachusettes to help Milo along with his gross motor skills.


Here we are at a birthday party shuffling along...

Taking a break to check out the incoming cake....

On the floor in Milo's room trying to push up to hands and knees

Yay! We did it!

This is hard work learning how to crawl! For Milo and for Aaron...

Thank you Aaron for your encouragement! Miss you already...

8 months @ St. Pat's Day

A wee late on the posting, but here, once again, we are at our little monthly check-in. And one more thing: He is getting SO big!!

Happy St. Patricks day!

Saturday night playdate

So Milo had a supervised date last Saturday. His new friend Lillianna and her mom came over for a little dinner and convo. If you can believe it she is 4 months OLDER than Milo -though they look to be the same age. So, of course, he's checking out her gross motor skills and trying to figure out how she moves to quickly! Milo did fantastic with sharing his toys and Lillianna showed him how to crawl on hardwood without bruising your head and knees!

Story time with Grandma

So Grandma had the nice idea of snuggling down with Milo for a little story time. You know how all the parenting books recommend reading to your little one, starting in the womb? Well, reading to Milo when I was pregnant was MUCH easier (though not nearly as much fun!). Milo much prefers to wrestle, eat and otherwise play around with the book when you try to open his world up to the written word...

I know, I know...

I really need to branch out on the high chair picture taking...But I had to post him getting fed by Grandma!!


Yes, I am cute. Very, very cute.



I enjoy kicking back, crossing my feet while sucking a bottle down...



Early morning breakfast with sun streaming in...ahhh...



My teeth are strong, people.

Party @ Grannys

From the sink to the tub...and so he grows

The first couple of shots are from Milo's first bath. Oh, yes, that's a nervous momma right there with the tight smile. Milo, the mild one, was quite content to lay back in the warm sudsy water.

And now, in a blink of an eye, he is suited for the big bath tub (I'm trying real hard not to say "big boy" bathtub...I couldn't resist posting all the pictures -he is just TOO CUTE!! I'm going to need an agent for this boy! And, as you can see, I am much more relaxed now during bath time!
