5 Years


Hard to believe all we have done in five years. Marriage, Greece, bought a house and moved to Baltimore, adopted Finley, left the Washington Post, started at Baltimore magazine, left Chipotle, started at Potbelly, went back to Chipotle, and all the other trips, friends, weddings, and births in between. But our best things? Milo & Willa.

We Recognize Good Behavior



Since Milo peed again at school—this time standing up (came home in a new shirt)—he was rewarded with some Little Einstein cars.

Mommy: Why Milo?
Milo: I got pee-pee in the potty.

Happy Baby

Seriously, you smile/laugh more than any baby I know. Your laugh-out-loud belly laugh is my favorite sound. You are always delightful. You make other people smile.

Bedtime Ritual

When we put Willa down in her Phil & Ted ... she'll close her eyes and scratch the inside of the stroller with her fingernails and then go to sleep. Never fails.

It Only Took 31 Months

... for mommy to cut your nails. (Thank goodness for Anna or you would be on one of those Discovery Health shows.)

Willa's First Visit to the Farmer's Market



Yesterday we went to the market under 83. It was the lady's madien voyage. We had our usual homemade doughnuts and Zeke's coffee. Plus, lots of strawberries. We had a yummy yummy breakfast sandwich from Ethel & Ramone's with andouille sausage, eggs & hot sauce, plus veggie samosas.

... the new one begins tomorrow!

The Carpoolers Part 2

The other day you cried when Michele came to pick up Marin and didn't take you home. You thought no one was taking you home. Sad but sweet.

You Love 'ghetti

A Reunion

Pear



To aid in her constipation, we started Willa on pears last week. Not sure what to make of them at first (lots of lip smacking), she is now a big fan. Where most babes would be starting rice cereal, Dr. W is afraid it'll bind up our girl even more. Up next: prunes. Woo-hoo.
