playtime

a mishmash of video clips of milo in the jumperoo and his playpen.




Milo and I had a nice trip to Idaho Falls today - he fell asleep less than a block from the house and slept all the way there and even through me browsing at Old Navy. After I fed him we had a great time cruising the mall and Target - he helped me pick out a scarf. On the way home we ran into some insane rainstorms that turned into sleety snowy garbage about ten minutes after we got home - glad we missed out on that.

Also, Milo is five months old today! I can't even believe it. I remember being in the hospital way too clearly for it to have been five months ago already.

just found the best use for my new dual monitor setup - baby einstein on one monitor, photoshop on the other. it's brilliant!!!

We got the Baby Bach video for Milo the other day and he loves it. Loves it! Who knew?

Here's his first watching -





totally entranced. he could hardly even be distracted by his bottle.

he's mostly just sucking on his hands and looking cute, but really, what more could you ask for?

easter treats

they were addressed to Milo, but he's not really on the solid food yet so I suppose Nate and I will just have to take care of the candy. It's a hard life, really.

QUAX.

sick again

just returned from dr. pockat's office and all is well. Milo most likely just has a virus and should start to get better any day now. His ears are all clear as well, yahoo!

He has gained almost a pound in the last nineteen days and is now up to 13 lbs 11 oz. He's huge! We've started to supplement his bedtime feeds with formula as I can't keep up with his demand any more. I think in the next few weeks we may try him on some rice cereal, which i'm going to guess he'll like a lot based on the way he sucks down pretty much everything that we've given him so far (tylenol, oral vaccination, antibiotics, etc.).

my new camera has video!

Milo is starting to grab onto things a little bit. He hasn't actually reached for anything yet, but if he touches something he'll hang on to it, which is really pretty cool. Except for when it's my hair. Then it just hurts. Here's some video of him playing in his playpen earlier this week -




He's also getting really good at standing up - he'll push up against whatever he's propped on and keep his knees straight and everything. It's pretty cool. I think he's going to be an early walker.




and just as a side note, both of these videos were shot with my new camera. It's pretty funky - I can use any lens i want to shoot videos, but once I start recording I can't change the focus point. So if Milo or whoever my subject is changes their distance to the camera, I have to move with them or they get all blurry. It'll be a fun challenge!!

on an unrelated note, we've become a bit obsessed with the notion of buying a Wii - any opinions? Nate really wants MarioKart and we both think that the Wii Fit actually looks pretty fun. Who has one? Do you like it? Good times?
