Four Part Harmony

I had a feeling the blog was overdue for an update once again, so I’ll put up a few recent photos. I’ve got Milo sleeping in my arms tonight, and typing one-handed, so you’ll have to forgive any typos or stilted dialogue.

We’re still getting used to chasing Milo around the house. He’s been crawling now for a few weeks, and he gets around pretty well now. He’s starting to push up onto hands and feet a lot and also starting to pull himself up onto chairs and things too. He’s pretty happy to be able to get around I think.

He’s been playing the piano some. Bangs on it pretty good.

Another piano shot. He really likes all the instruments, and has a little bouncy kind of dance that he does. Usually he wants to just grab at the guitar and banjo if I’ve got them out, but once in a while he and Anna will just get into doing their own thing and I’ll play for them for 5 or 10 minutes.

He’s eating a little more, but not voraciously like Anna did at his age. We gave him some frozen blueberries the other night. He made some sour/bitter faces for a while but I think he liked them in the end. Mostly I think he likes the texture and being able to eat with his hands.

We’ve had our annual February spring fake out of nice weather. It happens every year without fail. I think we hit 65 or thereabouts for a day or two. We took some walks and were pointing out signs of spring. Sunshine, blue sky, crocuses in bloom, buds opening on trees…it was great.

Walking to the park.

Of course, the rains and cold quickly returned. That’s alright though, we can use the rain and it’s still nice to know that spring is nearly here.

We’ll just find ways to entertain ourselves inside in the meantime. Here’s Milo, apparently pretty happy about sitting in a clothes basket.

Anna building some tall block towers in our windowsill this afternoon.

We’ll that’s all the pictures I have for now…I did want to try and see if I can get a video to upload…trying this new method, which will hopefully be easier and more successful than I’ve been in the past. I chose this video to upload kind of randomly. It’s Milo, not really doing much of anything. I had started filming figuring that something exciting might happen, and then he just got really interested in his toys suddenly and didn’t move for a long time. Still, he gives a couple of big smiles, so it seemed worthy of a post. Hope it works.
