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!

hey mom....?!

where are you?

Oh, there you are! Can you let the cat in? I would do it..but, y'know

Some more Comp Photos

The momma and son shots: Milo @ 1 month: This was supposed to be my "40 weeks pregnant" picture but the day this photo was taken was actually my due date (8/14/08). Yes, he came a wee bit early! And then us the other day @ 7 months. I look a bit more awake ya think? I love that you can see his arm around my shoulder in the mirror...Still amazes me that he was born with all that black hair and now he's a blonde peach fuzzy kind of guy.

And here, we had just brought Milo home...so maybe he is a couple days old? And now he has graduated to the back pack....*tear*

No time like the present...

to teach a growing boy how to swiffer! The other night I was swiffin' away the (pain in the ass to keep clean) hardwood floor. Milo was chasing me around, laughing hysterically. "Oh, this is funny? Here ya go, it's your turn!" Next week: sorting laundry...

tick tock, tick tock: 7 months!

So I thought I would add the last pic of me pregnant. This was a self-portrait taken 5 days before Milo popped the pinata and dropped his landing gear. Justin and I were on our way to Home Depot -buying paint for yet another home improvement project I was demanding (nesting, it's a bitch!). So here's another shot of Milo-man @ 1 week old. And since he can now sit independently, here he is in all his lengthy spine and strong abdomen glory! 7 months also marks the breaking in of the 5th tooth...yeah, 5 teeth! Biting, mouthing, drooling, red cheekin', up at random times in the night to cry teethin' heathin'!!!

Granny and the walker

Milo's got a new toy: the Walker....we're using it for the inbetween time -he can almost crawl but not quite...this little contraption helps him w/ that frustration and expresses all that energy....He was a little weirded out by it at first, but he's starting to enjoy having a bit more freedom. And, yes, another high chair pic...hahaha

Beach Time

What can I say -I LOVE living near the beach...even if it is only the Chesapeake Bay...Last weekend was beautiful so we packed up Little Man and took many over-exposed pictures of the little guy!
