Monday, February 4, 2008eight weeks oldthis weekend, milo's gram came to visit! i wish that i had some pictures, but the only pictures i took were when louise was bouncing milo on the exercise ball, and they were very blurry and unflattering, and louise would kill me if i posted them. but we took pictures of her and milo with her camera, so maybe she'll share some of them with us when she gets a chance. we had a lot of excursions and adventures while she was here because milo is such a breeze to run around town with right now.  during the days, we went to the vegan mini-mall (twice!), four different restaurants, target, and a couple of other spots. here are matt and milo at vita getting some lunch. we'd forgotten to bring a pacifier, but that didn't stop milo from sucking—he just chomped on his dad's thumb.  here are matt and milo at herbivore, patiently (or not so patiently) waiting while their mothers ogle a new shipment of merchandise with michelle and heather.  i know that louise was really sad when she couldn't come in january because she was too sick, but i think that the timing of her visit worked out just perfectly: she got to have milo all to herself! and he's at a really cute stage where he chatters happily when he's in a good mood, and when he's in a bad mood, he's easily calmed down with walking, rocking, or bouncing, all of which his gram was happy to provide.  this week, i tried out pumping for the first time. we really wanted to wait until he was a breastfeeding champion before we introduced the bottle so there would be no nipple confusion. pumping will allow matt to feed milo every once in a while, which will come in handy if i need to do something without milo for a few hours—although at this point, i really don't want to. when i run quick errands and leave him home with his dad, i enjoy about five minutes of my "freedom" before i miss him and wish that i were home with him instead of out. this morning, matt fed milo for the first time!  and then this afternoon, matt shaved his beard off, so expect to see a cleanly-shaven matt in the pictures next week.
