big week
I'm pretty much the worst blogger ever, ug! I keep wanting to wait until I have pictures ready to post, and then never get around to editing the photos because I have a six-month-old, and therefore never posting even when there is something new to relate. Arg.
Milo is six months old! He's sitting like a champion and loves putting pretty much everything in his mouth. I think his happiest day ever may have been the day he realized he could put ALL of his toes in his mouth. It's like a toy that he can never lose.
At our appointment on the 27th he weighed 16 lbs 6 oz and was 25.5 inches long, which means he has more than doubled his birth weight and has grown 6.5 inches. I'm glad I'm not growing at that rate, I'd be a giant by now.
My parents are here right now, which is really fun. We're planning on going to the Spud again tomorrow night if the weather allows so if anyone local is reading this - hope to see you there!
What else...oh yes, we've started feeding him rice cereal and he seems to like it very much. To the point where he tries to grab the spoon himself and jam it in his mouth (or eye, or up his nose...his aim isn't the greatest just yet). He doesn't eat a ton before he gets bored and starts looking for the bottle, but it's a start.
I have pictures of pretty much all of the above, so I will try to do a photo post here soon. Since Mom and Dad are here I should have a few extra minutes to do some quick post processing.
Happy Friday!

spud drive in
Last night was Milo's first night at the drive-in. We took him to see something completely age appropriate - 'XMen Origins - Wolverine'. I think he especially liked the fighting and bloodshed. Kidding!!! He was totally conked out before it started. Here are some pictures of him with our friends and neighbors Emma & Trask before the movie started.
You'll notice Emma is wearing a hat while Milo is not. Yeah, we forgot to bring a hat for him. Or a jacket. Thankfully we had plenty of blankets and wrapped him up like a tiny little potato bud and he was cozy as all get-out. So cozy that he slept all night. In his carseat. Completely strapped & tightened.

acceptance
I have moved past frustration and into the acceptance phase. Thinking about it from Milo's point of view - where would I rather sleep? In a weird cage with elephants and surrounded by oddly-printed blue squishiness? Or in a cozy bed next to someone you love and trust and produces food whenever you demand it?
Of course I'd go with the elephants. And if we could somehow combine elephants and some sort of night time snack machine, it'd be like heaven. Snacky, elephant-print heaven.

stupid crib
We are having no success whatsoever getting Milo to sleep in his crib at night. He can be completely passed out, snoring, drooling, practically comatose, but the instant his head touches that mattress he is wide awake, looking around and eventually crying like we were trying to kill him. Or at least torture him in some new and horrible way. We've tried sitting next to him and patting his belly to try to soothe him, picking him up and setting him back down once he's relaxed a bit, putting his mattress at an incline...no luck. For some reason sleeping flat is only acceptable if it is in our bed.
Oh well, as my friend Emilie said to me via Facebook - don't worry, he won't still be sleeping with you when he's 20. So at least there's that.
It's looking like I'm going to have to stop wearing dangly earrings for a while - pretty much everything that his hands come into contact with immediately get swallowed up into a Vulcan death grip, which wouldn't be too bad except as soon as he gets something in his tiny little fist he immediately tries to put it in his mouth. And although my earrings are long, they aren't THAT long. Ouch.
But in better news, I've put new pictures on the website! Hooray!

high chair and new shoes
The other night we put Milo in his high chair for the first time as a test drive to see how he liked it. Turns out he loves the thing - he was laughing and bopping around like crazy. I got some great video of it but here's a pic for now -
And for those of you who have been closely following the great shoe debate of 2009, we decided to keep the Vans. The Chucks were just a little too burly for a kid who isn't walking yet - they were just like regular Chuck Taylors but smaller, rather than the soft crib shoes we got from Vans.

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.
