last night after dinner i told milo that it was time to go upstairs and take a bath.  he walked to the stairs and looked up them and said, "DARK." then he turned the on the light for the stairs.  lorin and i were both just looking at each other asking...... did you teach him that???? nope.  he just sponged it up from everyday life.  

milo is a serious bunny lover! we spent the day at fashion island with glamma. now that i'm home i just realized that milo will be 20 months tomorrow!!!!! wowwie! he was so adorable with the easter bunny... he actually ran right up to him and started cuddling him and as soon as the easter bunny put milo on his lap milo cozied his face into the bunnies chest. it was precious and totally unexpected. he was so sad to leave the bunny that glamma thought it would be a good idea to take him to build-a-bear and build him a bunny. he loved it!  it wore him out so much that he's taking a 2nd nap right now which is giving to actually post!


look at him last year Pura Vida XoXo

this little monkey is such a blessing and we count him every single day!  happy 20 months!  it's incredible what 20 months can bring.  

i know i've been posting like crazy.... but i'm behind and we have SO many cute pictures of this little munchkin.

he was totally grooving with this hat on and his little elmo guitar!  :)

snow! 

when i heard that there was snow in irvine i was very pleased.  we had planned on going to the snow all winter but never actually made it.  our plans for the weekend included diving to the mountains to find snow and then driving home.  (this never sounded very appealing to me) so anyways...... yeah..... snow in irvine............ PERFECTO!

1st meeting with the cold icy snow... he liked it!

he seriously loved sledding. he gets that from his mama!
see........ i love sledding too!  & look at his face!
& that face!!!!!!!
Gabby & Julian came out to play too!
& there was some irish dancing...... which is always a treat! ;)
some hockey playing that lorin got really in to. (notice the action shot of milo....funny)

and we watched the ice skaters.

we'll save the real snow for next year! good bye winter!  welcome welcome spring!

our visit with tely & joe in the treeeeeeeeeeees

what a wonderful magical house!  we took a journey to another world where the view is amazing and the air is fresh fresh fresh.  the front of the cute cozy 1970s treehouse cottage faces the ocean from way way up and the back faces the canyon.  we had a lovely evening hanging out and exploring their new nest.
