stripes + boots + blue blue baby blues: miles winter, 3.5 months

oliver has an extensive library of fun childrens' books.

i recently (finally) got around to purchasing miles' first official book for his own library.

"oh the places you'll go" by dr. seuss is a graduation speech of sorts,
meant for graduates of all ages.
would you believe
i got all teary-eyed when i read it to my boys today
and imagined them being big enough to be graduates...
time flies so fast.

hard to believe baby miles will be 4 months old in just a few days.

my chunky, smiley, sweet sweet sweet little man:

thank you aunt sharon for the absurdly adorably baby boots.

xoxo,

nik

on and on you will hike.
and i know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

you'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
you'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
so be sure when you step.
step with care and great tact
and remember that life's
a great balancing act.
just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
and never mix up your right foot with your left.

and will you succeed?
yes! you will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
