From now until April 2nd 2023 Fujii Mihona will be selling a variety of things on her BOOTH page as part of the virtual event, NEOKET4. Featured in this pretty solid line up are a variety of physical items from GALS!! and Ryuu-ou Mahoujin such as mirrors, acrylic keyholders, acrylic stands, t-shirts, can badges, tapestries, pillows, and more (including an umbrella which sold out almost instantly).
Now this brings us to the digital works Fujii-sensei is releasing;
An original GALS!! anthology (which is more like a one-shot)
A Ryuu-ou Mahoujin prologue which begins the Chi no Maki arc (with the series gaining an "official" English-language name for the first time, Magic Circle of the Dragon Kings).
Interestingly the description for the GALS!! anthology states in English that it will be receiving an English translation in the future with news to come so stay tuned, I guess!
At this stage there are no plans to release these digital works in a physical form, but if these plans change they will be announced through Fujii's official channels.
All NEOKET4 releases from Fujii Mihona's "Studio Mihonacchi" circle are available for a limited time only, with sales ending April 2nd, so please get in quick if you'd like to order (I think at this point it's way too late to bother saying she was manning her own digital stall this evening, as it's all over... but she was at one point which is awesome).
I had already ordered the one thing I definitely had to buy from this event, which was the Rino acrylic stand (I have a soft spot for Ryuu-ou Mahoujin) but I'll probably also get the digital manga as I really want to check out Ran with dark hair in the GALS!! anthology and omg am I ever keen to read more Ryuu-ou Mahoujin.
Anyway I don't have a lot of insight on this event or these items on a Friday night, I just thought I should give them a quick shout-out because I am always down for a popular 90s Ribon artist to make some noise on Pixiv/BOOTH!

Episode 6 was AWESOME. Finally it really and truly felt like Digimon Adventure!!
This episode plus the last one makes me eat my words of despair over the blandness of episode 4. I’m counting that one as just a miss. I’m hoping that it doesn’t bode for the tone they’ll take with all Sora episodes though. Sora’s easy to overlook because she’s already kind, brave, and responsible - the main things the other kids need to work on. Still she never bored me in old Adventure. I only ever wanted more of her and that was my hope for 2020 Sora. Her intro episode wasn’t a great start, but guess what, she got to be pretty darn cool in this episode, and overall the tone of this ep was such an improvement on ep 4 that I’m back to thinking we will absolutely get a modern, cool girl Sora who rocks her spotlight episodes in the future. Pray with me friends.
By the way we finally got some decent animation in this episode. So I took gratuitous Taichi pics and I’ll post a couple to start us off bahahaha
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, so this was the much-awaited MIMI episode. Heck yeah. It’s called “The Targeted Kingdom.” Who is the queen of the kingdom, I’ll give you three guesses, eh what’s that Mimi? like WOW you got it on the first try!
More below!!
Tumblr media
^ So I’m not quite sure what’s going on here. I think Sora is standing on Taichi’s back and Piyomon is helping lift her (them?) up into the trees so Sora can look around? They are trying to find the way to the ocean. This seems like the most awkward way possible to go about it but you do you kiddo...
Tumblr media
See, Adventure Taichi would be making jokes while this is happening. 2020 Taichi is thinking about The Big Picture, at least as much of it as he knows of. He’s turning into such a pensive type. Yamato’s gonna have to work hard to keep his lead brooder status.
Also I was thinking... there’s a few times in this ep, and more in others, where I feel like the animators don’t show us enough... Idk what to call it, movement? The fall out of actions? Like why don’t we see them climb into the tree? Why are we zoomed into so close when they fall out? Later during the big fight scene, there’s stuff going on that could definitely be shown in a clearer, and also cooler to watch, way. My theory of course is it’s all budget issues but what a bummer.
Tumblr media
The kids’ first intro to the bottomless pit that is a Digimon’s stomach. They have no food (seriously? in that pack of emergency supplies Sora brought by pure happenstance there is NO food??) so they go... steal some. But they don’t know they’re stealing.
Not that SHE cares.
Tumblr media
Mimi: Bahaha... you’ve fallen into my trap! *cutest maniacal laugh ever*
Tumblr media
^The trap
There is another trap that comes later in the ep and I’ll just say here. It’s some Jessie & James level shit. Way to go Meems!
Tumblr media
ugh soooo cuuuute I want twenty
Tumblr media
Introducing... Queen Mimi! Yes, Queen. They’ve upgraded her!
Honestly, I love how she’s introduced as royalty, but she’s dressed as a cowgirl. No one would ever ask Mimi to pick just one theme. Like her kimchi fried rice with whipped cream and strawberries, Mimi is not afraid to mix genres!
Like I said, the animation in this ep is a cut above what’s it been recently, which is a relief. And everyone’s appearance is so much like Adventure that I wonder why they changed anything xD But I’m just so grateful everyone kept their unique eyes. It was the one thing I missed in the animation of Tri, even though I wouldn’t have wanted high school kids to have baby eyes. But the eyes really highlighted each character’s individuality. Glad that’s still a thing even if not every animator pays attention to it.
Tumblr media
Taichi & Sora: Were those your fruit trees? Uhh sorry? My Digimon was close to death and we were starving...
Mimi: You will starve again unless you learn the meaning of the law!
that’s a little les mis interlude for ya youre welcome
So Mimi arrived in the digital world, separated from the others, and immediately became Queen of the Tanemon. I SENSE A TREND.
Mimi doesn’t come across as ditzy and selfish as she did in early Adventure. I am not sure if that side of her’s been erased in favor of simply making her reluctant to fight because she’s soft-hearted, or if we’ll see her self-centeredness appear later on. I hope so. Right now the 2020 story is very focused on the plot and not on the children’s growth, which is a huge departure from Adventure, but I don’t think it will remain that way. I hope not at least. But I do think it’s possible that they’ll rewrite Mimi to be a bit less self-centered and/or airheady, and I’m not exactly against that. After all, post-Adventure Mimi showed her cool side more when she was willful or opinionated, and I’m on board with more of that in the 2020 show too. A better balance would definitely be a good thing in Mimi’s case.
She kind of made me think of Sailor Moon in this episode, lol
Tumblr media
GASP! We are all Chosen Children! Mimi immediately says NOOO WAY i’m queen of the Tanemon!! But not because the Tanemon are catering to her every whim (they’re not, as far as I can tell! Though they did make her a throne!). Because she honestly feels a responsibility to look after them. Again, pretty different from old Adventure.
Tumblr media
Pocket Koushirou returns and Taichi tries to absorb him into his brain!!
Taichi: *grunting* HNNNNGGGG!! Give me me your curiosity!!!
Koushirou: Are you Vademon!?!?!
Tumblr media
Koushirou shows video footage from the human world that shows the effect the power outage is having. Though it’s not a complete blackout yet, some places like hospitals have already lost power and are in trouble. 
Tumblr media
Mimi sees her grandfather, the president of Tachikawa Industries, on the TV helping people in trouble. VERY DIFFERENT. VERY COOL. I approve
Tumblr media
Koushirou also points out that there is INDEED a time lapse between the human and digital worlds. I’m not exactly sure how different the time lapse is from old Adventure. At first, I thought it was much smaller, but thinking about it... given how slow the video from the human world was moving, it might be sizable. But I don’t think it’s as big as old Adventure. At any rate, Taichi and Sora figure out this means Mimi was on her own with Palmon and the Tanemon village for longer than they realized.
Also makes me wonder just how much time Yamato’s spent in the digital world...
Tumblr media
Mimi feels torn between wanting to help her grandfather and needed to protect the Tanemon village! Naturally Taichi suggests they work together!
Tumblr media
And a Tanemon rudely kicks him in the face!! Just kidding. But it was too cute not to cap
Tumblr media
Mimi brings the waterworks like three or four times this episode.
Tumblr media
Mimi: Alright! You work for me now!
Taichi: ...??? Okay I guess????
Yes, Princess or Queen, Mimi is still Mimi <3
Tumblr media
So they join up and uhh... get ready for war I guess??
Tumblr media
I MEAN HOW CUTE IS THAT
Tumblr media
So this is the second Team Rocket trap, a giant hole in the ground. How did they dig it? How did the build that raft two eps ago?? Inquiring minds want to know
Tumblr media
Greymon is surprisingly limber for a chubby dinosaur.
Tumblr media
Taichi does what he does best in battle scenes: stand in immediate danger and look up a dinosaur’s bum.
Tumblr media
OGREMON MAKES HIS BIG APPEARANCE IN A MIMI EP. I totally called it last week. Okay, technically he already appeared in episode 5... but we barely saw him okay! He uses Soundbirdmon (who may indeed not be sentient?) to mind-control other Digimon to find and apparently kill?? the children. Ogremon honestly sounds kind of mind-controlled himself but not sure. If he is, it’s a different kind of control. He may just talk like that because he’s an ogre and not very articulate...
Tumblr media
I guess I capped this because CUTE CUTE CUTE
Tumblr media
So speaking of rushing into immediate danger... Not only is Sora right in the middle of the right, she’s HANGING OFF BIRDRAMON’S LEG. This show is SO not promoting child safety hahahhahaha
Tumblr media
Cute Taichi. Cuter still - Taichi and Sora tag teaming it. PLEEEEEASE give me more of this!! I want nothing more than for Sora to join Taichi and Yamato as a heavy-hitter. I always headcanoned her that way growing up. Let Sora kick ass 2020!!
Tumblr media
^Palmon’s method of rescuing Mimi... effective, yet questionable
Tumblr media
Capped because Cute.
Tumblr media
Sora and Birdramon take down the blue bird digimon (sorry... forgot its name... will likely forget the name of every other Digimon not from old Adventure as well. i am a senior citizen). Taichi cheers for them and says “You nabbed the best bit from me!” SO CUTE. Come on, they are the best team!!
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Palmon: *screams bloody murder*
Mimi: Palmon! Noooo!
Tumblr media
Episode 6: Palmon friggin DIES
Tumblr media
I mean she is like glitching in and out. So it totally FIGURES it would be a Mimi ep that tells us “yeah kids we’re not Pokemon!” I mean. Keep watching...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mimi recalls being all alone in a strange world when she meets Palmon. Btw they totally revamped the Pyokomon Village for this Tanemon village, I dig.
Tumblr media
EVOLUUUUUTION!!
Tumblr media
Boxing!!! Cactus!!! Eat this Precure!!!!
Tumblr media
While Togemon takes out Drimogemon, Greymon rushes in to protect the kids from Ogremon...
Tumblr media
... AND FREAKING SAWS HIS HORN OFF.
Like I said. THIS AIN’T POKEMON, KIDS.
Isn’t this actually darker than old Adventure? I mean I guess at least no one dies (I think? uhh...) and I suppose that’s less dark... but sawing off body parts... Idk man... I’m down with it, I just don’t know that it’s any nicer than old Adventure... hahahaha
Tumblr media
POW! Err, Drimogemon’s drill ain’t looking too good either...
Tumblr media
More waterworks as Mimi tells Palmon she loves her, and Palmon says it right back. Foreshadowing for Mimi/Koushirou tiffs in the future!? It was lit last ep that Koushirou tried to say he loves his partner and choked on it. Something tells me these two are gonna butt heads again ;)
Tumblr media
Ugggggghhhh so cute I can’t staaaaaaand ittttt
Tumblr media
Mimi decides to go with Taichi and Sora and leave the Tanemon village, Idk, I guess they’ll be safe now???  at least they won’t be targeted for having a human child among them.
Tumblr media
Also I like her leaf bag. The Tanemon totally made it for her.
Tumblr media
We end with Ogremon gripping his broken horn and fricking sobbing. This... does not bode well.
I want to hug him
so cast your votes, who gets the first hurt/comfort scene with Ogremon? Will it be gentle chastisement from Mimi while she patches him up with stuff from Sora’s pack? Or will it be Jou and the toilet paper you know he brought even if it makes no sense?!? hahahaha
I give this ep a 7/10 WELL DONE. That’s what a Digimon episode should be. Very close to VERY VERY GOOD.
I missed the trailer for next week so have more gratuitous Taichis instead.

Day 12. February 10, 2020. Te Anau day ride. 155km.
Woke to low 40's and gray which made me question the Carrot and Weather Channel apps which had shown 72° and sunny. But closer inspection revealed a marine type layer probably due to the massive lake's shores which was projected to burn off by 11. The kitchen came stocked with farm fresh eggs, bowl of assorted fruit, milk, butter, juice, yogurts, cereals. We set about making some eggs and toast and then of course after finishing off yesterday's blog we grabbed the two frisbees and the "golf course diagram" and headed out. A half life sized chess board on the sprawling manicured lawn provided the tee for the first hole. All the bikes were truck tires with the hole number painted on the rubber. Got to explore their grounds and have some fun tossing the 'bee. We then got into our GoreTex gear and headed towards Milford Sound after a CalTex has stop in town. Knowing we couldn't get to Milford due to road closures/flooding we were aiming for a swing bridge made of three cables. One for your feet and one for each of your hands that spanned the west branch of the Eglinton River. It was featured in one of the NZ touring books I had bought last summer. We saw that the trail sign to identify the turn off was the Earl Mountain turnoff and headed that way. We wound a bit away from the water and gained some elevation and then came to a construction zone. Not being sure if this was related to the recent flooding we got in mine behind a few cars and waited. Maybe less than ten minutes and the opposing truck, bus and camper passed us then we were allowed to proceed. Usually the 120km up to Milford takes over two hours due to the heavy traffic. Top tourist destination in NZ, one road in and out. Lots of buses and cars jockeying to get parking at the roadside attractions. One huge benefit of having the road closed about 75km ahead was that there was hardly any traffic! Great road and scenery as jagged Teton-esque peaks wound into view between the nearly sheer yet forested canyons as we gained elevation. After passing through a few more, wait, take a wild guess... sheep farms 🐑 we came to a diversion. Funneled into a lane off the road to what appeared to be a toll booth, explained to the gal we were in search of a cable bridge off the Earl Mtn. Trail before the closed section. She allowed us to pass. So far so good.
You can tell when you enter Fiordland NP. Sure, there's a sign off to the left (but placed behind a farmer's field/fence so inaccessible for a reasonable picture). But immediately farmland disappears and you are envelopes in the eery dense tunnel of what seems to be darned close to tropical forest. With the 21 feet of annual rainfall being lush shouldn't be a surprise but the immediate drop off in brightness is dramatic as well. Almost like going in a cave. There are some open "flats" but much of the area along the one road there is heavy forest. The other concern for vehicles but especially bikes involves the encroaching algae/moss on the roads. Two tire tracks are largely clear of it but the center of the lanes and the road as well are mostly a bit greenish with the slippery stuff. Lots of "slippery when wet" signage and it wasn't for the Bon Jovi album. I imagined it could be taxing to stay in the worn and clear tire tracks on one of the 250 rainy days. With clear blue sky and dry along with no traffic, the 55,65 and 75kph turns were superb sweepers and we had a ball carving up that road. One of the stops was at Mirror Lakes. Aptly names and even though a couple of fish had disturbed the surface, the pics are keepers. We rode up into Fiordland a ways and then there was the Earl Mtn. sign. We pulled in to the parking area and saw the line of yellow tape across the entrance to the trail. Also no other vehicles were there. The sign said it was closed and also had a few poison signs around the lot. They described the poison that was dangerous to animals and people to attempt (as is often done here) eradication of a non-native predator. In this case it seemed to be some sort of weasel that was endangering a bird that lived on the ground. We had discussed this cable swing bridge and yellow tape and warnings weren't gonna stop us! We worked around the tape and stepped into a dense forest trail. The first 10 minutes took us along an occasionally muddy trail. Tons of tree roots. Most of the deep mud had sticks or small logs tossed in to provide steps but a few ill advised steps resulted in 6" plunges and lovely boot pulling sucking noises to dislodge my Alpinestar SMX-6 from the muck. Then found my way down a thirty foot hill by treading solely on exposed tree roots from one tree! (Pic above) After that, following the well marked red triangular plastic blazes into the heart of Frodo land, the forest was a magic pliant spongy floor. It took a while to figure out that about 6-8" of moss has somehow grown over a network of interconnected tree roots. When I stepped, the entire ground in a five foot radius would give in and move a bit. It was weird and beautiful. After another 10' we heard the Eglinton River and were blocked by some fallen trees and yellow tape. A work around brought me to the river just above the cable swing bridge. A very large tree had fallen on the bridge from our side and collapsed it. Instead of a V shape, the 3 cables were mostly flat but still spanning the river. Ugh. No go. Managed to work our way with some difficulty through the dense brush to get close enough for a pic on the first rung of the bridge which was also the last possible one to reach due to the tree and damage. Pic above. There was a cute little bird on the ground by the bridge remnants. He seemed happy to see us. Wasn't afraid of people evidently as he strutted about watching us, walking under the branch I was balancing on without flying away. He seemed to enjoy company. Said goodbye to my new friend 🐦 and found the blazes trail which included a half dozen improvised detours to avoid deep muck. Scaled up the root ladder which must have been connected to Eywa as the whole forest seemed a bit magical. 🌳 One couple was following our lead to enter the forbidden enchanted forest as we exited. They were disappointed to hear the wire bridge was out. The entire trail from there is about a three hour hike.
I must comment that tons of serious hikers (trampers in local speak) come here and cover long distances. Temps are good. Views and scenery fantastic. None of those deadly spiders and snakes one may encounter across the Tasman Sea in Oz. I get it, just don't love hiking that much to spend days or weeks doing it. This area shows why Peter Jackson used it for LOTR. Nearly pristine and just overwhelmingly stunning. With boots and Klim pants properly mud coated, we were now sweating quite a bit. In fact while holding my Latitude jacket I believe I finally lost my first set of reading glasses on this ride. I have a couple spares but oh well. Think they fell out as I was scaling some of the hill or tree root sections. 👓 I opened up all the vents on my jacket and pants and started the bike to stand and let the 65° breeze do its job. Turned around a couple kilometers further at Lower Holyford Rd. as the heavy machinery was at work. Estimated repair on the sign said that the road would reopen on Friday, four days from now. We stopped a few times on the way back for scenic spots that were too good to pass by. One of the files above is the .gif of some chopper footage. Stopped to watch him load and fly away with a few tanks of what may have been fuel? Most likely bound for Milford Sound which was still isolated from the rest of the country's road system. On one of the last stops Ted must've not closed his bag since when we pulled into Te Anau town center his right saddlebag/pannier was open! Ba quick inventory revealed his polartec jacket and a plastic bag with a wipe were missing. The chain lube that Kiwi gave us as well as a helmet lock were still in the pannier. Those darned side opening clamshell designs! I said I'd get a table at the Ranch outside and wait for him to hopefully retrieve his stuff. I showed him how to flip up on the iPhone to reveal exactly where that last pic was taken. He was just putting on his helmet when a white car pulls up. A guy walks out and hands him his stuff! So lucky. They are bikers and saw his stuff and followed us into town. Nice. After some thank you a they drove away and the day got even brighter. The Ranch delivered me a couple Cokes and an interesting prawn twist dish. 8 shrimp individually wrapped in a long thin dough sheet and fried so the whole 8" long finger is edible and 3 sauces to dip accompanied the serving. Then a calamari salad. 😊 Back to the homestead for some blogging (so I won't fall asleep tonight trying to get this down) and rest before we scored a reservation at the top place in town. The Redcliff cafe. Ted was here last year and unable to get in! We rode to town and were walking down the street when Ted recognized the Aussies who returned his stuff at lunchtime. We turned around and flagged them down. They were perfectly willing to join us for a thank you beer and had a nice time talking with them. They were riders but here to scatter ashes of a friend up north and had received money and were encouraged to make a great trip out of it. They had been to Burt Munro as well. Our appointed hour arrived and we were seated on the back porch of the Redcliff cafe. A few tables of Americans nearby and some conversation with a California couple by us and an excellent meal. I had a salmon tartare dish followed by venison which was amazing and a date and ice cream dessert which were each remarkable. Redcliff did not disappoint. Probably the biggest culinary splurge of the trip. Even with a couple drinks my total ended up being just over $50 and it would've been 50% more for that same meal at home. Had a great evening and got back to the homestead in dusk around 10. Ready to roll northward tomorrow. 😴

Beach Day with Chan(SK Date drabbles pt.1)
-a sweet bub
-you had to convince him to take a break from work
-just imagine Chan driving with all the windows down and his (natural curly) hair blowing in the breeze
-he looks at you sitting down next to him looking all cute and excited about the date and he does that little “tuhohoho” laugh because he can’t get over your cuteness
-you look up at him and smile
-“what is it now channie?”
-“nothing, why do you have to be so darn cute?” he says this in a pouty voice
-eventually y’all reach the beach, you get out of the car and feel the sea breeze and smell the salt water, enjoying the view of the whole beach from the parking lot
-suddenly, Chan does a weird little shriek and grabs your hand, running all the way down to the water
-you hold your hat down w your free hand as Chan drags you along behind him
-as soon as he hits the water’s edge, he squeals and runs from the waves
-somehow you both end up to your knees in the water, splashing each other playfully from time to time
-both of y’all are giggling and squealing, who cares if people are watching?
-“Chan, we forgot our stuff.”
-“Shoot”(shoot me, shoot me-e-e)
-the walk back to the car is just as fun
-this boy keeps kicking sand at you like a dog
-thankfully, nothing was stolen cause this kid left the car unlocked
-back on the beach, you have a cute little picnic
-there is ramen(hEre’s ya rAmEn!), crab cakes, and lots of fruit provided by yours truly
-“Oh my Gahd, it looks so GOOD”
“Just enjoy the food while it lasts, babe”
-I totally see Chan as the type of boyfriend that hand feeds you and treats you like a princess
-personally, I’m a little scared to go swimming(like Hanse from Victon)
-Chan isn’t the type of person to force you into anything, so it’s a chill day
-he inflated a beach ball and there is a mini game of volleyball
-“I totally won”
-“Whatever you say, Channie”
-you walk along the shore together and collect shells, picking one for each of the members and your families
-when he thinks you have enough shells, Chan brings you back to your blanket and umbrella set-up
-you force him to take a nap because this man works wayyy too much
-while Chan sleeps, you clean the shells with some water and take pics of him all peaceful and sweet
-when the sun sets, you wake him up to enjoy the sight
-the sky is all different shades of purple, orange, and red
-Chan kisses you sweetly cause none of the youngsters are there to tease him
-now is a good time to head home cause it’s getting dark
-back to the car...
-somewhere along the way you fall asleep
-now it’s Chan’s turn to coo over you and take pictures
-he parks the car outside SK dorm and falls asleep too cause he doesn’t have the heart to wake you
-in the morning the other members are all tapping on the glass, laughing, and taking pictures of you two cuddling inside
-until they see Chan glaring up at them
-Jisung: Omg Chan-hyung is awake! Run!
-everyone sprints except for Woojin, who just kinda looks at you two before mouthing to Chan that a car isn’t the comfiest place to sleep
-Chan just shoos Woojin away lazily and snuggles deeper into you
A/N: I wanted to make this one post w all nine members, but Chan’s was so long that I’ll be doing them individually. This is my first scenario, so please be nice

(also his actual smile smile is BEYOND WORDS) 25) He started AmazingPhil, and without him doing that, Dan would have not known who Phil is, and then he might have not made videos, and then we wouldn’t have the Phan world we have today. It all goes back to Phil, and I can’t thank him enough. 26) He saw that a fan drew him naked, and instead of making fun of them or “shaming” them, he took that and made a series out of it. 27) He encourages us. 28) He is genuine. He doesn’t try to be like someone else, or he doesn’t try to be cool and stuff, he is himself and that is amazing. 29) He believes in kindness, and happiness, and good cups of coffee, and sunshine, and staying inside, and anime, and cute animals. (i love how much he loves animals) 30) He is Philip Michael Lester, and that is beyond amazing. @amazingphil Thank you for showing me that it is okay to be myself and that being different is not a flaw, it’s a virtue. Thank you for making me and so many other people smile and for being there for us when we need someone the most. Thank you for being you and bringing so much joy and happiness to the world. Thank you for everything . I hope you have an absolutely amazing birthday, because you deserve that and so much more. I can’t believe you’re 30 now, wow. You might never read this, but if you do, just know that there are too many reason as to why you’re amazing, scratch that, there aren’t enough reason, or words for that matter, to fully explain just how truly AMAZING you are. Happy Birthday Phil, Xoxo Laura 💜🐢

Things I’m Loving Friday #269
Hey friends! How are you doing today? It was a pretty cold and wet week in Charlotte and it’s looking like the rain will continue through this weekend. While we’re predicted to get some decent rain in our area, it looks like that will be nothing compared to the winter storm set to impact many of you in the midwest and New England. I hope you guys all stay safe and warm out there!
As for our weekend plans, we’ll be kicking off the weekend with our friends and their little ones over a casual dinner out tonight but other than that, our plans are wiiiide open. I’ll be sure to recap the fun on the blog next week but until then, let’s dive into your usual Things I’m Loving Friday roundup of favs, shall we?
Please feel free to join in and tell me about something that is making you smile this week in the comments section. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!
Things I’m Loving Friday
Ryder is 8 Months Old!
On Monday Ryder officially turned 8 months old! This past month marked a lot of changes for our sweet little guy as he went from one tooth to SIX teeth in two weeks. Ooph! (Let’s just say nursing was a bit of a struggle this past month because Ryder seemed to want to chew on anything and everything, including me.) We also officially dropped the Merlin Magic Sleepsuit which I was dreading because my first attempt was a disaster. Thankfully attempt #2 went much better and I attribute it to the Nested Bean Zen Sleepsack. It has a lightly weighted area on the chest of the sleepsack that’s supposed to mimic the sensation of your palm on your baby’s chest. It can also be worn with the small beaded weight on the baby’s back for little ones who flip over and prefer to sleep on their bellies.
Speaking of sleep, now that Ryder is 8 months old, we seem to be falling into a bit of a rhythm with naps — at least in the morning — which is a relief. Ryder is still a pretty go-with-the-flow baby but I’ve been trying to be home for him to have at least one solid nap in his crib every day and his morning nap is without a doubt his best nap.
Ryder also now wants to get into anything and everything and pretty much the only time we see our happy little guy get mad is if we take something he wants away from him or he has his eye on something he wants to hold and can’t seem to get to it himself. (Or when we load him into his car seat. The struggle is real.) Ryder absolutely LOVES watching Chase and he smiles up a storm at pretty much anyone who engages with him. He still has yet to meet a stranger! Some of Ryder’s current playtime favorites: VTech Drop & Go Dump Truck (He LOVES this thing!), Fisher-Price Stacking Rings, Sassy Wonder Wheel (the best highchair toy!), Baby Einstein Activity Jumper (my go-to “put Ryder down” station — aka the way I get to make myself a cup of coffee every morning!), VTech Sit-to-Stand Activity Walker
As far as eating is concerned, I am SO ridiculously happy to report that Ryder seems to be a good eater so far and it is such a relief. I feel the need to share that we haven’t done anything different with Ryder than we did with Chase so if you have a baby or a child who could not care less about food, I FEEL YA and I feel the stress that comes along with that struggle big time. I just feel like I need to say this a billion times over because it’s so easy to feel like we’re to blame for the way our children respond to food but if my experience with Ryder has taught me anything, it’s that babies are all SO different and some kids are just naturally more interested in eating.
Getting Chase to eat anything always felt like the biggest struggle so watching Ryder go to town on steamed broccoli or suck down a pouch of pureed fruits and veggies in a hot second is still blowing my mind. I’ve noticed Ryder’s interest in food seems to rub off a bit on Chase as well which is another big perk!
There’s something about the 8-month mark in a baby’s life that I just adore. They’re still a roly poly bundle of babyness but they’re also able to really begin to interact a lot more and the baby giggles and smiles are just too darn cute too handle. Ryder is definitely a physical little dude and loves kicking, backwards inch-worming (no forward crawling yet) and splashing up a storm in the bathtub. He is such a source of joy in our lives!
Ryder + Granddad Resemblance
On the topic of Ryder, a few of you guys and a few Instagram followers have commented on Ryder’s resemblance to Ryan’s dad and we’re seeing it more and more these days! I mean just look at the two of them in the above picture! I snapped that pic before Greg headed back to Florida on Tuesday and think it perfectly captures their similarities. It’s just so fun to see our boys and how they share features with different family members!
In the beginning we heard Chase looked a lot like me and lately we’ve been hearing people say he looks more and more like Ryan. On the other hand, people said Ryder was all Ryan in the beginning and now slooowly but surely some people are saying they see me in him. One thing is for sure… Chase and Ryder look like each other and I need to do a side-by-side picture comparison of the boys at similar ages because the resemblance it crazy to me!
Tazo Organic Baked Cinnamon Apple Tea
Ever since I began regularly making whole milk/coconut milk tea lattes almost every day, I’ve loved trying new kinds of tea and tend to gravitate toward the comforting flavors of cinnamon and roobios when I’m not in the mood for a little boost from matcha. My latest tea love is Tazo’s Organic Baked Cinnamon Apple Tea and it is just the perfect cozy combination of warm apple pie flavor, roobios and a little punch of cinnamon. I top my lattes with a sprinkle of ceylon cinnamon and love every last sip.
Tiny Little Thing by Beatriz Williams
When I mentioned how much I enjoyed The Secret Life of Violet Grant, two of you asked me if I planned to read the other two books in the Schuyler Sisters series and encouraged me to check out book #2, Tiny Little Thing, next. I don’t know what it is about a series but I am almost averse to beginning books I know are part of a series because I like to jump around and read different genres. For whatever reason, beginning a series when I know all of the books in that series are already published makes me feel like I need to commit to reading the series the whole way through before branching out again. Crazy, I know, especially since I love reading books by the same authors back-to-back. I put my natural aversion to series aside for Tiny Little Thing and I’m glad I did because it roped me in immediately and has all of the intrigue I enjoyed from The Secret Life of Violet Grant. I’m almost done with this one and cannot wait to finish it this weekend.
Tiny Little Thing follows the eldest Schuyler sister, Tiny, as she and her husband, Frank, live a perfectly poised and seemingly perfect life together. Behind the facade of perfection lies secrets that could destroy Frank’s political ambitions as well as their marriage. When Frank’s cousin Caspian, a handsome Vietnam war hero with intimate knowledge of Tiny’s past, shows up at the family’s summer home in Cape Cod, only days after Tiny receives an envelope containing photographs that could destroy her, Tiny begins to worry she’s on the brink of losing everything.
