High chair shenanigans

The big 4-0!

Yes, it finally happened. I turned 40. Hard to believe on many levels. Feeling a bit overwhelmed this year with Miles' upcoming birthday and all the crazy adjustments to parenthood, I decided to forgo a celebration. However, my friends and family had other plans. I was completely surprised with a party in my honor. I had no idea!!! And the icing on the cake...my mom and sister both flew in to town to join the festivities. What a treat-I couldn't believe it! In the end, I'm so glad this birthday didn't pass by without a party. I felt so special, treasured and honored. Thank you so much to all who made that possible-I love you!

Did you miss us?

We haven't posted for awhile and now, I'll make up for lost time. A little celebratory concert to welcome us back!

OH Happy Day!

HE DID IT !! (and I didn't squeal or anything-seriously-that's why I'm shouting it here!!!!)



and later in the evening......

When it's fun to be a baby

Making short work of those pesky books on the shelf

Where's Mama?

So, Craig made this discovery. He noticed that while reading this book, if I was in the same room, every time they got to the part where the baby wants her mommy, Miles would look over at me. Naturally, I had to video it!

Winter hat debut

This was the project that kept me busy and out of Miles' way while he worked on the crawling thing. It's my third attempt (at the same hat with the same yarn-I had to rip it out twice!) and I'm pretty happy with the way it finally turned out. I think I may have come up a little short on the size though, so I'm going to add ear flaps and hopefully that way it will last the whole winter. I am in no mood to do any more ripping.

Exactly one second after I put it on.

Hopefully, he's just not into wearing winter hats indoors. Seriously, the child still has NO hair. Well, not enough to give him any warmth at any rate. He will need to wear hats all the time!

Determined to ditch it.

Very determined.
