Last weekend, my cousin Mira braved a blizzard in Philly and NY (well, almost) to make the shlep to Boston to meet Maceo. Mira is a professional baby expert (much experience as a nanny of little ones) so we were very excited to get live-action tutorials of how to take care of an infant since we are fully winging it. I was also thrilled to spend time with her as she is one of the coolest gals I know.
The visit was stupendous - it was love at first sight in both directions and Maceo spent about 48 hours straight smiling and cooing and impressing Mira with all his new tricks. We did lots of tummy-time (with Maceo proudly displaying his fine head control), took a bath, enjoyed naked time with infant massage, went on a field trip to check out some art galleries (clearly a baby with sophisticated taste), and rolled around on the floor in our PJs and had a blast. We even had some fun after Maceo retired - Craig made us delicious mussels, swordfish "bites", and some fancy "vintage" inspired cocktails which made mom feel very fancy and glamorous. Who needs a swanky bar when your husband will make you a mini dirty-martini with lemon zest, capers, and olives?
We were all sad to see Mira go, but no doubt there will be many more wonderful visits to follow. For all those blog followers out there, Mira is the crafty goddess who made the beautiful quilt for Maceo which was in some December posts. The photos show the love.
i LOVE that little bean.
