Actually we missed all of last month at Portland Saturday Market. Ben got a job (yes, a “real” job). So we were still adjusting to our new routine. Today was our first day back at market. It was wonderfully warm and sunny. We all wore sunscreen but still got a little burned. Mikah got a few hugs back from babies around his age (Mikah likes to give a lot of hugs)- and generally just stole the show with how amazing he is.

Dont mind the wrinkles…

The bright colored square garland is a new addition to our booth. I wanted to add some color since everything is pretty monochromatic. I like the way they look but I think I’ll upgrade the look by having the colors more closely match our bottom “Kitty Baby Love” logo colors. Also putting it on fabric with frayed edges (for a homemade/rustic look).

Mikah says *I know you!! You’re my mommy…. mommy = milk (he’s using baby sign language)*

Mikah’s Words
baby sign language –> milk, more, finish/no more, amen (we’re nonsecular but we do like to eat dinner together and give our thanks to the universe for being able to do so), twist (he likes to twist on/off bottle caps), brushing teeth (he made this one up.. sticks his finger in his mouth and swooshes it around while going aaaaaaa)

verbal words –> dada (word of choice), egg, guitar (gui gui gui), banana (nana), light (ite ite), vehicle (brrrrr), mama

words he recognizes but can’t communicate –> shoe, eye, nose, mouth, ears, head, hat

I’m sure theres more, but that’s all that we know of. ^_^
