Pre-Mama's Day Brunch

One of the things I really enjoy about being a mom is the opportunity to meet with other moms and share the unique moments motherhood affords. A few months ago I joined a local group that offers many opportunities for newfangled types of gatherings. Here are some shots from a brunch that was hosted at a private home.

I love seeing Milo with other children (when he isn't trying to wrestle with them). I can really see his personality begin to show itself more and more. I find it apparent how social he is and he really does enjoy a bit of chaos around him. He seems comfortable when there is abundant activity and conversation. It's when it's quiet he gets a bit nervous...I'm thinking he thinks quiet time is for naps and living should be done out loud....I hope soon he sees the value in quiet, independent play!

Where ya been?

Sadly my computer had to visit some friends at Best Buy. AGAIN. Good news is that it is still under warranty. Coincidentally, we bought a Dell notebook...dude...WE loves it!

Since our last post I have taken many many pics and have yet to download them onto the Dell. Mostly because that requires me to download software. I'm a bit lazy and forgetful.

So, my goal, is to download and post the happenings of our happening life here in No Beach...very soon. Like in a week or so...

I apologize for any withdrawl symptoms you may have been experiencing. I may be projecting a bit.

Oh yeah, and as you have already noticed. I'm public again. Not only am I lazy and forgetful, I'm also indecisive.

poor Milo...

I love my window

Milo demonstrates (for the first time) that he can sit up and hold his own bottle (tear)...






















































My little angel...














Dear Calvin Klein...I have a great idea for your new line...ME!

Mood swings (9 months going on 16)

Oh! Daddy! You are so funny! I love that...




















Wait a minute, something ain't right...




















Seriously, you want to take a pic at a time like this...?





Get me out of this thing!!!!























I mean it, I would be outta here if you didn't strap me into this friggin', good for nothin'....here goes my foot!














Aahh, freedom, I'm going to my room....!

Follow the Signs..

On a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon, the hubby and I ventured off to discover one of the few vineyards in southern Maryland...The wine held it's own with our picnic lunch. Oh, yes,we will go back! Not exactly Napa Valley, but still a great little trip to make!

9 months

So before he turns 10 months, let me drop the stats on the 9 monther...
20 lbs, 8 oz (50th percentile)
30 inches (97th percentile)
Crawling like it's his JOB and acquiring the necessary scrapes and bruises that inevitably prevail! Little E continues to smile and laugh with the best of them and yes, he sleeps through the night...

Done went Private

Yes, I felt it was time to privatize this blog! If anything, just to protect my family from the Swine Flu...you can never be too carefull!

So, thanks to the small few of you who find my postings educational, informative, and, at times, down right offensive...
