Weekend Recap

This weekend was Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and we went on Saturday and watched Lera Lynn perform. She’s one of those artists who is just as good live as they are in recordings. I was happy. Milo tolerated the noise well; she seems to be good with noise, which means we’ll be able to take her out to more performances and games as she gets older.

Then Sunday, we had planned to go back and see The Blind Boys of Alabama, but Chase and I were pretty tired and opted to stay home instead. So it was an afternoon of football and playing with our girl. Well, as much as we can play with her now - mostly it consists of talking to her, trying to get her to look at us and smile at us, and marveling at all of the baby talk she’s doing lately.

Milo is definitely learning and developing more each week. She follows things with her eyes a lot better now, and we can get smiley reactions out of her now if she’s paying attention. Among her favorite things to do are:

• stare at any light source in the room (lamp, window, TV, etc.)
• stare at the ceiling fan
• fall asleep while breastfeeding
• be bounced on the exercise ball
• stare at the little mirror on her play mat

Today Milo was a bit fussier than she was yesterday, but that’s how it goes: one day sleepy and mellow, the next day fussy and clingy. All in all, the weekend was a good one.
