Lazy Sunday Night

Today was one of those days. The amazing ones. I kept thinking, "Wow I really need to get a picture of this," but then I thought some more and realized that I would rather just take it all in with my eyes and my ears and try to remember it the best I could rather than seeing everything from the lens of a camera. I know that's how some people work but not me I guess. My memory serves me well for things like that! Today was the warmest it's been since last year (minus two or three fakeout spring days a while back). On those days Milo and I did things outdoors (the zoo, wheeler farm, the park, etc.) but today was Milo's first time really playing outside. and we played alllll day long! I hadn't realized how much he has learned without me even trying to teach him. It's kind of scary but also really uhh, can't think of the word. My memory sucks at things like that. It just puts me in awe of little Milo. he actually started singing along to a song! Well one word, but every time the song played, he would sing the right word at the right time in the right pitch. And he's only 13 months old. I don't know if this is a normal development for his age or not, but I choose to believe he's amazing! He's also getting more affectionate. He's never ever been the kind of kid that enjoys snuggling with his mommy, from the time he could push people away, or even scream when he was being cuddled too close, he's done it. But lately he'll walk up to me(yes, walk - he can do that now!) and just lay his head on me for a second and then go on his way. It's a nice little reassurance that he knows I'm his mom. I've been a little over-paranoid about that ever since he was born. I'm still not sure if he knows the word 'mommy' is me but who cares. Anyway, we played all day with some balls (he calls them cools, maybe because I always tell him they're circles...?) and we rode his little bike thingy and went on walks, rode in the swing our awesome neighbors gifted us, yelled at their dogs for a while, pulled grass, and overall took in the warm spring sun. I really really really hope the weather continues to be warm. I don't think milo can take another day inside when he knows what's out there...
ps, Milo just said 'dog' in his sleep. cute!
