snowlarvortex!

IMG_9316

the snowlarvortex hit atlanta yesterday, so when papa got home we bundled up the babe and went out to catch some snowflakes. clearly, wilder was interested and confused as to what all the fuss was about. but he was a good sport and enjoyed himself anyways.

wilder: such a friendly baby, though not sure he realizes he's "sharing."
lars: suddenly deciding he really likes this baby after all.

cabin fever

IMG_9011

i'm not sure if it's because it's january and we haven't been outside since D.C. or if it's because i fell on our stairs and banged up my tailbone real good (yeah. awesome.) but i'm feeling sort of off lately.

but, i do have this little munchkin to keep me company through our long days indoors and who can complain about that? we have definitely reached that 9 month mark where wilder is changing and growing from minute to minute. he is seriously about to be a toddler any minute now. he is standing all day long and also getting into everything he's not supposed to—that serious face is his serious concentration on getting to my camera;)

this weekend is loverboy's birthday; we are hoping and praying for good weather so we can have a fun family outing to a nearby petting zoo.

i hope you are all enjoying your january and maybe getting outside a little more than we are. :)

Wilder in 2014, week 2*

1_9

i've been wanting to take weekly portraits of wilder, and the beginning of a new year is a good time to start.

can you believe this baby is 9 months old today? he is crawling and standing and "talking" all day long like he's going to be a toddler any minute now. naturally, he is just getting better and better. i really can't love those little dimples enough. i know i keep saying it, but this is all going by so (too) fast. can someone please stop time for me?

my favorite thing lately is when he lays his head on my shoulder just before and just after naps and bedtime. also, the way he says "mama" even if he doesn't really know what he's saying. it's the sweetest thing in the world.

*since i didn't post a photo for week 1 last week, i'll probably do a retroactive post for it. hope that doesn't disturb you too much. ;)

D.C.

we've been a little busy over here doing some projects on the house, but i finally have some photos to show from over the holidays when we went to D.C. to spend time with friends and take in some museums. it was the best kind of vacation — we got spoiled with lots of yummy homemade food and late night card games and a bathtime buddy for wilder.

IMG_7129
Wilder was an amazingly good traveler. i was kind of shocked.
IMG_7176
i could have spent a few days at the national gallery of art alone. so, so good.
IMG_7183
he thought the gallery was a little too quiet...and also very good for shrieking echoes...
IMG_7189
these old masters' paintings...they amaze me.

THE best cupcake ever. ever. ever. seriously.

it was so cool to be in our nation's capital, even though we didn't get to go into the capitol.
IMG_8410
we didn't get to go in here, sadly. too many museums, too little time.
