Bubbles

Bubbles, it will come as no surprise to experts like you, are insanely fun. Here is a rather muted example of what happens when bubbles are introduced to a room:

A Sport

I'm not quite sure where Milo acquired this behavior.
I'm pretty sure it can't be from us.

Milo's continuing quest to acquire language

There are some stickers of animal shapes on the wall over Milo's changing table, two of which are turtles. We've been teaching him names of animals, so I decided to show him some videos of turtles on the internet. He got very excited pointed, and said 'turtle!'

We immediately whipped out the camera to record this momentous feat, and of course managed to miss it several times. Below, though, just before the end of the clip, is film magic.

Fresh new photography

To make up for yesterday's posting of a somewhat stale photo, today we have a fresh new steaming hot photo taken this very day:


Milo's gotten a bit better with the spoon lately. Notice how (relatively) little of the food is displayed on his bib and face.

Placeholder blogging

We apparently haven't taken very many good pictures of the child lately, so we offer this one to keep your mind off your troubles:


I think he must be trying to impress a young lady or something; his belly is usually much larger than this.

Your Milo fix for the day

Milo has decided he can do what he wants and doesn't have to listen to his stinkin' parents. In this video, he has mastered the slide (sort of). Note that he's already torn his hat off, exposing his nigh-hairless scalp to the sun.

Milo at the 4th of July parade

We forgot Milo's hat, so he had to make do with my doo-rag.
His overalls have a handy loop, useful for preventing him from running into the street any time there was anything interesting to see.
