Birthdays and Big Boys

I had my first real wave of nostalgia on Saturday, realizing that our little baby boy is growing up.

We attended a neighbor and fellow playgroup friend’s first birthday party, and there I observed several little boys whom I had seen as newborns, now playing in the dirt, pushing each other around, and “tearing it up.” Milo’s favorite activities were crawling through the tube and pushing a little truck around. Ah, boy stuff.

Thanks, Finn and parents, for a wonderful party and great food!

On a totally different note, Milo is officially weaned and still alive! Although he was not a happy camper from about 4:30am until 6:30am, he made it through, and so did I. I’m a bit sad to say good-bye to such a great nursing experience, but hopefully this new “no-food-at-night” policy will encourage better sleep patterns. Wish us luck tonight!

  1. Lauren,

    I can’t wait to see the little bum next month! He’s growing up so fast. By the way, your pictures are amazing…you must’ve gotten some of dad’s talent!

  2. Jon,
    I wish I could take credit for those pictures, but a friend of mine took them. She is very talented… but having an amazing digital camera doesn’t hurt either. I think I already know what I want for Christmas!
