Celtic Festival

Milo and company went to the Celtic Festival yesterday -who said Calvert County doesn't have any culture? Milo stayed entertained by all the activity -bag pipers, vendors, games, and then a run-in with his friend Parker.

I love the Celtic Festival!

Parker, who is a mere 3 weeks older than Milo, is still learning how to protect himself from the quick and strong clutches of my son...I'm sure these two will be in karate class with each other in a few short years....where there will be many matches and re-matches...Of course, Milo could just be wanting to tell Parker a secret while plugging his nose and pulling his hair...I like to give Milo the benefit of the doubt...

Parker and the 'rents..

Oh, the sweet vision of a sleeping baby at the end of a stimulating day...

chew and ponder

"This is one of the more interesting placed toys in this room. Not only can I chew on it, but there is quite a view to ponder. I wonder if Penquins have knees...hmmm, let me chew and ponder...chew and ponder..."

"Love you mom, but...


















You can't make me take a nap!

"I will clobber you with this stupid fan!"

You asked for it...

My work here is done...."

"I know how mum-sie loves to re-arrange. So I thought I might help her out. They never read these books or watch these movies anyway...so let's just get rid of 'em..."

"okay...now I'm off to help with the plugs and cords,or maybe the kitty needs me to pet her..."

Shots from Easter

Over the Easter weekend we drove off to G'ma's house where there were a flurry of friends and family to visit! Here are a few snaps of Milo hanging with some new friends: Jaime's little youngsters, Benjamin and Lillian. And then in the arms of Cassidy -laughing hysterically at the tap tap tapping on the sliding glass door. Then, of course, it wouldn't be a trip to g'mas without riding the lawnmower. That's aunt Betsy with g'ma and Uncle Ben cheering her on...ah, the simple the things!

Milo thoughts

Come here Lil', I want to kiss you! Oh wait, here come the 'rents...pose nice...






Excuse me dad...you're blocking my view!

Okay, so now that I can crawl, it's only right that I figure out these stairs. Thank god there isn't a gate here!

Happy 21st Birthday, err, 31st...

My baby daddy and I celebrated the day of my birth at a FAB-U-LOUS restaurant called "The Bombay Club" -if you love Indian food (and you should) this is a great place to go...Afterwards we saw Chicago at the National Theater...Wonderful evening!

What? You can stand now?

Good Morning!

So this is what I woke up to the other morning...Oh my...the little buggar can stand up now...on his own...please pray for us...life, as we know it, has changed....

Daddy and Me

At the grocery store...This is Milo 1st time sitting in the grocery cart...


Snuggles on the couch

Attempting to bring in Chesapeake Bay awareness...

Brr...cold water...!

This is the first pic that I truly see Justin in Milo's face...

Beach Babies

Here, Lillianna, you wanna borrow my hat?


That's okay, you can wear it, camo isn't my thing...


There you go!

Alright, now let's stroll...

Evolution of Pulling Up Independently

These parents can't child proof fast enough....I thought we would be in the crawling stage for awhile before he could pull himself up! Yeah, no...But boy, is he proud of himself!
