Occasion for the Arts

 Mommy, Miles, a limeade, and some amazing paintings!
Do you see his baby crocs?  Might be one of my favorite shower gifts.

It was a hot, hot, hot October afternoon.  And have that little infant-oven right 
on your chest doesn't help in the cool down department.

Occasion for the Arts is city event Jesse and I never miss.  There are multiple blocks closed off for a variety of artists and vendors.  Bands play in different locations; local restaurants and brewers  hawked their favorites dishes and ales.  We usually snatch up a couple of new paintings and get Christmas gifts at Occasion.  What's not to love?  Waddling around last year, with my slow growing baby belly, I was already looking forward to sharing Occasion with Miles.  Cut to 365 days later, it was a complete success.  Miles quietly hovered around in the Baby Bjorn for over an hour.  Not a fussy sound uttered!  So many new sights, smells, and sounds- he seemed enthralled.  Looks like Occasion will now be a family tradition.
