My favorite thing about March was watching these two become best friends!

Milo LOVES his big sister – she is his main source of entertainment, and he loves it when she coos back at him.

Elodie has grown up so much in the past few weeks! She is starting to talk more (can say all the vowels, ‘peek,’ ‘pzz/please,’ ‘uh-oh,’ and her favorite word: ‘no.’) She can count to five!! If she’s in a good mood, she runs wherever she goes, and if she’s in a tired/cranky/teething mood, she prefers to be carried. She is becoming an independent little mama bird – showing Milo how to play with his toys, grabbing gloves and a duster to clean any surface she thinks is dusty (which it always is), wiping up after her own spills, clearing her plate after eating, wiping up her brother’s drool, hanging up wet burp cloths/onesies to dry, and undoing + re-doing the velcro on her shoes. She’s also great at entertaining herself with a bucket of sand while I work/play with my ever-growing collection of succulents.

February had a few great warm-weather days that allowed us to walk and play outside, but most of the time it was cold and snowy, which was perfect for snuggling our babies in front of a cozy fire.

He’s here, he’s finally here! Early December 4th, little Milo made us a family of four and we are all so in love with him.dec2016favorites

Other things I’m loving this month:

Assorted chocolates and all the treats that appear around the holidays.

Also: mom jeans. Between having a baby and all the Christmas goodies, my tummy needs all the help it can get! ;-)

I hope you all had a safe and wonderful Christmas and may your 2017 be full of great new memories.

Remember that time when I told you there would be a ‘new favorite’ this month? Well, little one decided we needed to practice our patience some more. So instead of celebrating a new baby, we celebrated my 30th birthday and ten years of goofiness together. TEN YEARS!! A third of my life!!november16favorites
