Hello and Goodbye!!

This was a big weekend for Miss Millie. She wore her first pair of blue jeans, they were too cute!! She ate her first Oreo, which she loved. It was a Halloween Oreo so the middle was orange which made it all even messier. The big 'milestones' were her front 2 teeth have broken thru, so she'll be able to actually bite into things soon. Yea for Millie. She is doing an amazing job with just her gums but teeth have to make it easier. The other milestone...she is no longer using a pacifier to go to sleep. She has always required 2 things to sleep, a paci and a super soft blanket. It didn't matter if you laid her down with one she had to have the other too. But this Saturday night she was up really late because of the OBU game and I thought she might just be tired enough to go to sleep without the paci. So I laid her down and went to get Carter dressed for bed. She fussed for maybe a couple of minutes and then it was sleepy time. And that was the end of the pacifier. She did fuss quite a bit at my Mom's yesterday, but she has been GREAT at home. Yea! No more having to pull the crib away from the wall to find the missing paci. The transition was soooo much easier then it was with Carter. He cried for hours the first time he went to bed without his. But Millie has always been an easier sleeper than he was (is).You might have noticed I almost never post pictures of all of us. This is why, it is impossible to get everyone looking at the camera and not making silly faces. Here was this weekends attempt at the 3 of us.

The Scoot!

I tried to get a picture and video of Millie scooting, but it was really hard. She gets from point A to point B but you can't really tell how she got there. These were taken on her actual birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILLIE!!

My baby is 1 year old today. It's hard to believe how much one little person can change in 1 year. We had our big party last Saturday and today she just played with Nana and Pop while I worked. I'll post tons of pictures later. But here's a flashback!

Scooty Booty

Millie has had a breakthrough this week...she has started to scoot. Until this point we haven't had to worry about child-proofing anything because she didn't go anywhere. Not anymore, she can now get wherever she needs to go. She just sits on her bottom and scoots around. This morning when I picked her up from church her bloomers were filthy, very ladylike. We tell everyone that Millie is very advanced...for a 6 month old. This picture was taken about midnight Wednesday night. She is normally a wonderful sleeper, but she just didn't feel good most of the day. We're seeing signs of new teeth, but they haven't broken thru yet.

Back to School

Carter started back to Mother's Day Out this week. It's actually called Children's Day Out (CDO), I guess the kids need a break from the Moms. Carter has a great teacher and he was excited to go back, anytime we drove by this summer he would say that he missed his school. Our new deck was finished this week too. We love it! There is lots of room to relax and for the kids to play. Millie really like the rails!!
