BIG announcement

Well hello there! Remember me? I used to write on this blog almost every day, and then I took a bit of a hiatus. Nothing scary, nothing bad. In fact, it's a miracle that is so profound it's left me heaving over a toilet morning, noon, and night for weeks now. Have you guessed it?

That's right... Milo is going to be a big brother next year, because I'm pregnant! There is a tiny little sprout in here demanding a lot of attention (which only leads me to believe it must be a girl - haha), and our new addition will be here around June 21. So, happy birthday to me, happy Father's Day to Nate, and happy every day to Milo, who will be the world's best big brother.

Fire station adventure

While we're playing catch-up, let me share a few pictures of Milo's first trip to the firestation! Emily and Lily were headed there on Monday, so he tagged along while I went to an appointment. Emily said Milo seemed a little confused as to why he and the fire truck weren't taking off and driving around, but in the end he couldn't have been too upset, since he talked about the "fire cups" (yes, truck and cup sound exactly the same) for the rest of the day. THANKS, EMILY!!!

Milo and the gorgeous Emily (he LOVES her and talks about her and Lily all the time)

Conner's birthday hat

Oh my goodness, it's been a little while since I've posted. Just working on a big project here that I can't tell you about until next week. How's that for anticipation?
But let me show you a project that I did finish last week - Conner's birthday hat! I saw the pattern online and had to knit it up immediately because it made me think exactly of Conner (whom Milo calls "Hat" since he loves a good piece of headwear).

Long and striped

Milo did want to try it on before we sent it out...

... but it was the perfect fit for Conner! Happy birthday, handsome!



Cheese?

Yet another reason I love Milo... This morning I asked him if he'd like a piece of cheese with his breakfast, to which he replied, "Piece cheese. Of course." Looks like we're raising him well.

Ray of sunshine

It's been one of those weeks... I'm tired, overwhelmed, and have a ton to do. BUT, I've got a pint-sized ray of sunshine to keep me company all day long. Not so bad after all, right?

It just gets better

As always, we just live for excitement around here. And just when Milo thought things couldn't get any better, his Auntie Ann found him a Cars shirt - complete with a picture of Lightning McQueen and a checkerboard cape. He, of course, had to immediately put it on over his pjs last night, and then first thing this morning as well (with his car shoes). So the weekend was a success.

He was trying so hard to be still enough for a picture...

...and it worked for just a second.

Family Photos Part 3 (the final episode)

Just a few more pictures, per Nate's request...

 

Nate LOVES this picture.

And we both adore this one.
