This next one required a little more patience. With so many small pieces we just had to go a little bit slower. This time instead of stopping to take pictures throughout, I just took video, and then sped it up a bit. In the end, I think everything else going on around me kind of upstaged the actual wall print. This really puts into perspective how constant a babies wiggling is.
Many of you know I am huge threadless fan. I found Blik a while back when they started printing some threadless designs as vinyl wall art. Mol and I decided to get one for Mia's room. Most are reasonably priced - and simple to "install". Such Great Height
What a weekend! Mol and I cashed in on our anniversary present from Mols parents - one free night at the Westin (including baby sitting. Mol was 9 months prego on our anniversary this year - so it was nice to celebrate it over valentines day.) The suite was awesome. The hot tub was just what we needed - including the interesting people we met drinking Bush Light cans.
Dinner at the Ocean Air was amazing. It was obviously super busy - but they didn't make you feel that way. Our table was too squished to everyone around us - and our server was awesome. Mol and I agreed that all too often servers mess up that moment where they ask if you want wine with dinner - and whether or not they should remove the glasses from the table. So many servers get make that awkward - Ours was SO smooth about it - and I could tell it was going to be a perfect experience. The smallest details are always what matter - how he cracked and shelled Mols King Crab Legs table side - to how the busser noticed I had dripped butter into my water glass - and got me a new one instead of just adding more water. A bit pricey - but we were combining two special occasions - and it was so delicious.
Then on Sunday after one whole night away from Mia - she demanded some of our attention - so we decided to do a photo shoot. (She was actually a doll for the Grandparents, sleeping her usual 9-10 hours)
Finally getting around to finishing this post two Saturdays ago we made a quick field trip over to Hudson for their annual Hot Air Affair festival. Mol gets the credit for getting us out and about. We were there and back in a couple hours, and it was fun going to a "carnival" style event in the middle of winter. It was pretty cool how quickly everyone showed up - ballooners - and spectators all showed up right at 6:30 for the "Moon Glow". I was also surprised how close we got to get to all of the action.
Also our neighbors had their new baby! Holy crap. Getting to hold a 4 day old baby next to Mia at 4 months was pretty cool. It was this great tangible reminder of how much Mia - and my life - has changed so quickly. I had an interesting deja vu moment - when Mia was looking at Annie - just how our other friends baby (who was 4 months old) looked at Mia just after she was born.
