Milo and Behold

Toys

Milo was great last night, and she only woke up to nurse at around 5am. She had a bit of trouble getting back to sleep, but she finally did, and then we got to sleep until around 7:30. It was glorious. She’s amazing. And she is still her usual, chipper self in the mornings. While I often try to get in a few extra minutes of sleep in the mornings while Chase plays with her, I still appreciate that she’s so happy and playful most days when she just wakes up.

The rest of the day was not too remarkable. Milo had short naps in the morning and then at around noon, and then a long nap in the afternoon. She and I played on the floor a lot; I stacked things on her little bumbo table top, and she tore through everything I put there. She’s begun to reach for things behind her, which is exciting. But she tolerates the chair for less and less time these days.

We went out for groceries, and Milo was observant as ever. The remarks today were more about her hair than her eyes, with one woman commenting that people pay good money to get their hair to look like hers (i.e., sticking up everywhere). It’s true. Everyone wants to look like Milo. I should be wearing her front-facing more now that she’s so big, but I’m always afraid that she’s going to get tired and not be able to fall asleep that way. Silly, I guess.

I like to keep an eye on Craigslist for good deals on baby things, and today I struck the motherlode when it comes to nice, wooden, educational toys for our girl! I emailed someone about a ton of toys, and after getting confirmation, I made a quick taco dinner, Chase and I scarfed it down, and we rented the car to pick the stuff up. When we got home, it was like Christmas for all of us! We took everything out to look at it, and Milo attacked whatever she could get to. The abacus was her favorite, but she was very eager to look at and slobber all over everything! I’m excited to let her inspect each new item.
