Aaaaallgoooood!!

Ruth, the wonderful assistant for Milo’s Pediatrician, said that if we were able to make it through the first four weeks, then we were aaaaalllllgood! She didn’t promise that everything would be smooth sailing the rest of the way, but she did say we’d start feeling better about our abilities in our new roles in life. Well, as of about 8 hours ago, we officially made it.

Woohoo!

(I’m not so sure Jill and I feel any more confident in our abilities as parents, though. But, I’m not telling Ruth that).

On with the post…

So, this has been a pretty busy week here in the Gavin/Bogart household. Most notably, I finally shaved for the first time since the morning of Milo’s birth. Jill, I must say, was incredibly happy. That is, until I walked out of the bathroom. I think she was hoping for a bit more thorough shaving:




What else? Oh yeah, I think Zelda and Milo have officially bonded. Check out how good of friends they have become:







Zelda totally snuck that lick in. I swear. I didn’t even know about it until I uploaded the pics onto the laptop. Oh well, I guess we kiss Milo, so why shouldn’t Zelda be allowed to give him a little lick or two. I’m sure though that I’ll be getting a little flack over that from one of our parents, so I’ll just move on...and by the end of the post, maybe they will have forgotten.

What else? Oh, yeah…Milo helped me prepare for an interview that I had last week and thanks to his cooperation, I was well prepared and I think it went admirably (won’t know if I got the internship until the end of June, though).



Okay, so what more could Milo have fit into one week’s time? Well, when he wasn’t in one of his milk comas:



or practicing his karate (okay so maybe he wasn’t doing karate, but I had to get a pic on here of the organic cotton monkey onesie that Des and Andrew gave us…and he has cool karate pants on…and he could be preparing some sort of I’llripyourheartoutwithmybarelefthand death grasp):



so I was saying…when he wasn’t doing one of those things, he either a) chilled in his mini co-sleeper (yeah right. He maybe spent all of two minutes in that thing…oh, love the hat, Sandra/Miriam. It’s the only one that stays on him):



b) hung out with new friends (Julia and Annie – respectively – stopped by with their significant others for drinks and dinner):





or, c) engaged in good-ole….TUMMYTIME!!!(one exclamation mark too far?)







This week should be just as exciting as last week. I get to meet with my advisor, then Milo has his one month checkup, then Grandma (Bogart) comes for a visit as I will be off to Cocoa Beach, Florida, and Jill…well, Jill gets to sit in her comfy new Poäng while studying for her French final and breastfeeding…all day…all week…

(Sorry, Jill…really, I am. Just think…soon you’ll be at the cottage, drinkin’ daiquiris and…well, you’ll still be doing school work and breastfeeding, but at least you’ll be doing both of them at the cottage).

Longest post ever!
