Girls day out!

We had an awesome girls day out on Saturday (Nana, Auntie Kim, Paula, Auntie Renee, Riley, Milo & me). I had a little moment with a bamboo towel vender....... but besides that the day was great. Oh yeah..... about the bamboo towel vender...... I really need to learn to bite my tongue and I do regret stooping to his level and unfolding his towel display. Anyways..moving on. We went to the Girl Expo at the fair grounds (I don't recommend it) but we had a fun time being together. Then we went out shopping and had a late lunch. Milo and Riley were so good and so darn cute. Here are some pictures of the little cousins.

yummy cozy weekend......

Milo had his first official raining day on Saturday. We took a long morning nap and it was the coziest thing in the world.

milo and julian

these little guys are the cutest! julian is only 3 months older than milo..... they are going to be little buddies. :)

"head in the clouds"

i went to put milo into his cute little onesie that we brought him home from the hospital in and it was a perfect fit. it made me emotional because i remember dressing him in the hospital and it was all baggy on him. i also remember before he was born this was the little onesie that i laid in his crib and imagined him in...... and the same onesie that i laid on lorin's shoulder weeks before milo was here. well..... he's here and now he really fits in this little special onesie as perfectly as he fits into our lives. the onesie says "head in the clouds" in french...... and that's exactly where my head has been.

i'm not going to lie...... this has been one of the most challenging times of my life. as natural as it feels to be a mommy at the same time it is so completely foreign and at times overwhelming. there is so much to learn and so little sleep..... it's enough to make you feel a little less than competent. of course i wouldn't change it for the world. i'm looking forward to all the exciting changes that milo and his parents :) are going to go through this first year. one of the most important things is to cherish every moment of his tiny babydom and to stay mindful of what an incredible blessing it is to be responsible for this life. this is what i will remind myself when i'm needing sleep and milo's needing me. :)

milo's smile

it is so rewarding to see his little gummy grin. i think it's so amazing what this tiny smile can do to me. when i'm away from him for even an hour i can't wait to get back to this face. milo's smile makes me forget that he kept me up just a little too much last night.

milo's 1st concert........

we had a fun little family outing to see a musician that lorin and i really like. matt costa played at american rag at fashion island. it was acoustic so we thought it would be a perfect 1st concert for milo. milo did pretty good....... he slept the whole time but i know he could hear the music in his little dreams.

milo's 1 month portrait.....

i was going to tell you all what a little fussy face milo was in between each of these pictures........ but look at that face....... you would never believe me!!! :)
