For anyone wishing this was Milo’s birth story, I promise it’s coming. I’m still putting my thoughts into words and I’m in the fuzzy stages of sleep deprivation. It will be along shortly. In the meantime, here are this week’s five facts. In honor of Milo’s one week birthday, they are mostly Milo centered.
1. Milo is healthy, beautiful, and oh so loved. I can’t get enough of his tiny baby features, his GORGEOUS hair (Seriously. There is SO much beautiful hair.), and his sleep smiles. He smells amazing, has forehead wrinkles, and very full cheeks.
2. Sophie has done a very great job adjusting to a new brother. For the first few days, she was wary of and nervous about him, but she’s warmed considerably. There have been zero attempts to hit or hurt brother, for which we are very grateful. She still keeps her distance most of the time, but occasionally, she’ll reach over to touch a baby toe or rock him in his car seat. We think it won’t be too long before she’s even warmer. She likes the new baby doll we got her and sometimes does the same things with her baby that I’m doing with Milo. It’s adorable.
3. Milo’s a pretty good (albeit sleepy) eater and a pretty good sleeper. We’ve taken shifts during the night, which has made sleep easier to come by.
4. Animal bum everything is adorable. We were ever-so-slightly disappointed we wouldn’t get to use all our cute ruffle bum things from Sophie, but animal bum things are REALLY cute too.
5. Turns out, I make cute babies. That is all.

Cute, Emily!!! Congrats to you two. My grand daughter is living with us with a 6 wk old and I know the feeling of “no sleep”. Allyson just passed by my office door, baby in arm, and said “It was 1 o’clock, Grandma.” Meaning baby did not go to sleep until one in the morning. Has to go to work early. Arggggg.
So glad everyone is doing well! and yes you do make some cute kiddos!
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! Thank you for making my day!! He’s perfect, so SO handsome!! I’m loving all that hair
Business up front and partay in the back!! Oh, Milo. I adore you!! And Soph looks darling and happy too, wahoooo!!!
Congratulations !!! He’s beautiful…wishing you all the best!
Baby cheeks and tiny feet…what is better then that?
TO DIE FOR! I love that first picture with the adorable owl blanket! And then I especially love the first picture of Soph. She looks so happy and excited about something
I’m SO grateful everything is going smoothly! I love you all and wish I could be giving all of you squishes in person!!!
Congratulations again! You definitely do make adorable babies!
Look at all that dark hair! I was born with a full head of dark hair, and it quickly became very blonde. Your babies are both so beautiful! Congratulations and many blessings to you!
I’m also in love with the owl blanket!! Is that one from Mom? Or Julie? You? Too cute.
Also. I hope Sophie makes it to my house in that suitcase.. I could just borrow her for a little bit?
Why, oh why, is the desert not in Georgia?! You (and Michael) DO make exceptionally beautiful babies! Prettiest please give him (and Miss Sophie) lots and lots and lots of hugs and kisses from me!
You made THE CUTEST babies. Oh my gosh, Sophie is one of the cutest little girls, I love that picture of her clenched fists, whatever she is looking at, she is so excited for it. Darling. And Milo is so precious. Get some sleep mama and we’ll be patient waiting for his story.
Thank you for sharing this special time in your family. I love to see your photos and read your thoughts. Congratulations!

Lol. That sounded funny. I don’t mean read your thoughts in your mind, but read the thoughts that you share on your blog. Ha ha!
You DO make cute babies!! I can’t wait to read the birth story
While I think Sophie looks like your husband, I think Milo looks like you! Adorable.
Emily,
He truly is beautiful. I’m so glad you’re taking pictures of…everything! Love his cheeks and that dark hair!
Hope you get some sleep my dear. All the love.
