And, we're back... darling Milo, who somehow always knows when I'm about to sit down to blog and instantly becomes bonkers needy combined with my textbook overthinking of words...
It's been a while, but here's an update on our little fam:
I am "sabbathing" this summer: focusing on home and family.
It's strangely hard and wonderful and right where I'm supposed to be.
Alex is STILL my favorite husband. He works hard for his family and for ACF.
He led worship this last weekend and did an amazing job. I love his voice, his musical simplicity and his gentle spirit when he plays for people.
Milo is, we call it SPIRITED. He is quick to let us know when he's happy and when he's sad. He's thoughtful. He's loud. He has likes and dislikes. This week, his favorite song is "A Mare Encheu" by Heitor Villa-Lobos from Classical Baby. His least favorite song is the theme song from The Office. Weirdo. It is awesome to see his expressive face when he hears music. I love it.
Things Milo does...
> Looks like a giant child, to me, even though he's just 6 months old [19 lbs, 27 in]
> Babbles a TON. Loudly. He loves to laugh at lamps, his dog and his dad
> Sleeps through the night. Most nights.
> LOVES jumping. Will probably walk tomorrow
> Sits up
> Plays with stacking toys, but can only UNstack them & loves the playing in cousin Tuck's exersaucer
> Eats babyfood & can drink water from a sippy cup
> He really likes music and tries to sing a long. When he likes a song, he smiles, laughs and when he doesn't like a song, he gives me serious stink eye and whines at me.
> Loves to swim
> Loves his dog, Ozzie Bear & loves to have "secrets" with him. [When we're not looking he puts his hands out for Oz to lick.]
> Loves his baby friends: Sawyer Rock, Hadley Prothro, Jag & Blake Taylor and his cousin Tucker Webb
MY favorite things are watching him play with his dad & when he gives me a big scrunched up nose smile first thing in the morning; especially when he's wearing his robot jam jams.
This summer, we're trying to get out as much as possible; almost unbearable in this 100+ heat. We walk/jog in the mornings and hang out with friends as much as possible during the day. We're going to Kingwood to see Alex's family next week! And going to South Padre with my family in August. Can't wait to take Milo to the ocean for the first time! I LOVE the ocean. Hope my little stinker loves it too.
