Friday, March 28, 2008sixteen weeksi am stunned to say that milo is sixteen weeks old today! i know that everyone says that once you have kids, the days just fly by, but i feel like entire weeks and months happen in a blink. it seems like yesterday that he was three weeks old and i was pacing the apartment in a loop at four a.m, rocking and shushing him while he wailed in my ear. now he goes down to bed like a champ and i nurse him in my sleep while we lie next to each other, and instead of fussing when he wakes up, he lies there happily until one of us wakes up, and then he gives us the biggest smile, like: "oh hi! i like you a lot!" it's the greatest part of my day. it snowed this morning, so milo and i weren't able to go on our usual hike because the snow had turned the trails into a muddy, slushy mess, so instead we walked the cement paths around the vietnam memorial. it was beautiful. milo's favorite thing in the whole world continues to be music. he's very picky, and when his "favorites" start to play, he becomes silent immediately, and hugs us close, and usually falls asleep within a minute or two. his current favorites are the scottish band belle and sebastien, and the song "holland 1945" by neutral milk hotel, which is about anne frank, so clearly he has excellent taste. anyway, onto the pictures! matt clipping milo's fingernails:     and i think this is one of my favorites of all time, milo in the carrot hat that his friend julie bought for him:  and here is a video that we took documenting one of milo's new favorite activities, practicing to stand (the password is "milo"): milo likes standing from joannalovesyou on Vimeo. just a reminder to our family members that the photos i put on the blog represent only about a half or a third of the photos that we take of milo, and if you want to see the rest, you'll need a flickr account. signing up for an account is free and easy to do, and once you have an account, go to my profile and click "Add ll cool joanna as a contact" in the upper right corner. then i will add you as a contact and you'll be able to see the rest of the photos. i know this seems complicated, but it will take you five minutes, tops!
