New Life

I am really feeling my new life lately. So I am starting a new new new blog for Monty. My life feels abundant again or really more than ever before so I want to start a fresh! Funny how my last post wasn't too long ago but I feel David and I have really just begun to settle into this glorious new life as parents and as a family.

It's slow going because my little bear keeps me busy.

Favorite new pictures of Monty at 3 months, 1 week and 4 days old!

My (2nd) Mother's Day

Happy as a clam this Mother's Day in a giant clam shell with Monty at the Museum of Natural History. It was a life-long dream come true to return to my favorite childhood museum with my own child. What a gift!

My funny Valentine

I feel as though my heart has left my body and is now a little pinky cooing 7+ lbs. of baby flesh! I am a raw exposed nerve of pure love. Nothing will ever be the same. I love you little Monty Bear!

Fast Forward!

Hear ye! Hear ye!
He's here! He's here!

Will you stay?

David and I have been singing David Bowie's Kooks to our little bear hoping he'll recognize it when he arrives...

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of Kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of Kooks
Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty Kookie too

Will you stay in my Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of Kooks
Hung up on romancing

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads
'Cause I'm not much cop at punching
Other people's Dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of Kooks
Hung up on romancing

Poppa Bears

I found this picture the other day of Baby David and his Poppa c. 1969. Since I have superstitiously encouraged David to grow a beard this last month, he is the spitting image of his father back then!
Dreaming that soon we'll have many pictures of David as the Daddy and whoever this little kicker is that I am growing today, snuggling on his chest.
