jamie and i went on a babymoon back in november 2010 to st. barths, our favorite place in the world. we went for our honeymoon, we went for our babymoon, we will go in many moons for more moons. i shot some videos when we were there but i misplaced the legendary harinezumi and i assumed all was lost. yesterday i found it (!!) and tonight i did a silly little mashup of it. here is our little baby's moon, before she was our sun, stars and universe.

sophie is four months old today. i freaking can't believe it. it goes so quickly.

i've been taking pictures of sophie bird on the rainbow quilt every month on the 10th to show her growth. i haven't been posting them, because frankly, i am too lazy. but here are the first 4.

those were 0-3 months.

this is her 4 month one!

isn't she a sweetie.

dove in the morning

so, at some point in the past two weeks, a bird - which i was told is a mourning dove (thanks brewster!!) - started the makings of a nest in the windowsill next to the air conditioner in Sophie Bird's bedroom. i assumed it was a ladybird and was sittin on some eggs, but i don't know much about birds so i didn't know for sure. anyway, day and night, the birdie sat in the window watching over us. every morning and every night we'd open the shades and say "good morning mama bird" "good night mama bird" etc etc. i didn't think it was a coincidence that a mama bird landed in the window of a girl named Bird, in a room with bird wallpaper (!!) to lay her very own eggs. I like to think she's making sure my lil birdie is ok while i'm sleeping at night. anyway, this morning we went to say good morning to our new houseguest, and her babies hatched! it was the absolute sweetest thing i've ever seen. i could see their tiny little wings on the borders of her underbelly and i knew they were there! then she moved for a minute or two and i got a little picture with my phone which just made my day. they're snuggling...

it was a good day.
