blog love.
what do you do while your baby naps? if i'm just being honest, when that day comes i will probably nap with her. adele of mila's daydreams takes that time to imagine what her slumbering daughter is dreaming, create the dream scene from household items, and photograph it. the results are both whimsical and beautifully serene.
see?
do yourself a favor and pay a visit to mila's daydreams. you'll be glad you did.

with all of my illustration commissions complete, i spent my evening working on some of the decorative aspects of sylvie's nursery. i made some substantial progress on her crocheted blanket and finished painting a world map for the wall above her crib. stay tuned for pictures of both tomorrow.
speaking of tomorrow, travis and i are taking the day to have our last out-of-town date before sylvie's arrival. our plan is to drive the hour to indianapolis, eat lunch at a small french restaurant, and spend the afternoon walking along the canal. i am 35 weeks today and don't plan on venturing too far from home after this week. travis and i are so excited to welcome our daughter into the world, but we're happily enjoying our last few weeks as a couple.
this coming fall promises to be a busy one, with little time left over for leisurely strolls around our for-the-moment hometown. sylvie will be a well-seasoned traveler by the time january rolls around. we are planning her first airplane ride for sometime around 6-8 weeks. our plan is to fly to pennsylvania so she can meet her aunt rachel (my big sista), uncle rich, and her cousins, sophie and zack. she will also meet my best friend, her aunt cara, on this trip. next in line is the four hour drive to columbus ohio to visit grammy and poppy for thanksgiving. after that we're going to bundle her up for a december trip to chicago for my cousin's wedding. last, but certainly not least, is a trip down to texas for the holidays. on this trip she will meet her daddy's family including his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. she will also meet her uncle mike (my big brother), aunt melissa and cousins tessa and sam.
i firmly believe in bundling her up and taking her along for the ride. i'm sure that traveling with an infant will be challenging, but these experiences as a family are too precious to miss out on. as a kid, i was always taken along wherever my parents went. i quickly got used to being the youngest person in any given room. as a result i learned early on how to mind my manners, relate to adults, and adapt to many situations. these are all skills which have served me well in life. we don't want to leave our daughter out of so-called "adult" activities. we want to share everything we can with her, as a family. i just can't wait for her to get here. my arms are aching to hold her and rock her softly. i cannot believe how much and how unconditionally i love her already.
