Steve: What are you doing?

Me: Staring at what we made.

I love this girl.

Out.

Mila's first outing, unless you count pediatrician and postpartum OB visits and little side trips to show her off at work (the joys of working on the one street in Vero where all the doctors' offices seem to be). This little outing wasn't too successful, but happily she did much better the next day in church--unfazed by all the toddlers toddling around in the cry room.

p.s. am not throwing her up in the air or offering her up to the Gods in that one pic. I was pulling her out of the Maya Wrap, which she doesn't yet like.  Hopefully she takes more kindly to the Ergo.

Mila loves her Nonna + Nonno

and they love her. 

Happy Grandparents' Day

STRIPES!

Am

Am working on writing down how Mila came into this world.
Am trying to gain confidence to leave the house.
Am now an expert swaddler but the Monkey is a more adept unswaddler.
Am getting faster at typing one-handed.
Am wondering where Mila has been all my life.
