Millie - 14 Months

I am WAY behind on my posting so I'm going to play some major catch up today. Millie started going to Mother's Day out this past month. Halloween was her first day and she went last week. There were no tears on day 1, but I think she had us figured out the second time around. But overall she has done great. She has quite a bit of stranger anxiety at times, Carter NEVER cared who had him so this has been an adjustment. Ms. Naomi is amazed at how much she eats...I think they even give her the other kids leftovers. The poor thing, they probably think I'm starving her.

Her motor skills are coming right along. She is now crawling on a consistent basis, the scoot is now only used when she needs her hands free. She has started pulling up to stand against the coach, ottoman etc. She has a little 6 month old friend in the nursery that is doing all the same things. Pretty funny (sad)!! She loves to walk while you're holding her hands, but she will not walk around furniture yet. She hasn't figured out she can 'cruise.' Just this weekend she started putting weight on her feet and hands at the same time like she was just going to stand up and go. We'll see. I'll still be suprised if we have a walker by Christmas.

Millie is starting to try out 'words'. When you ask her to say something you can really tell she works at it and sometimes she gets pretty close. Things she says that almost sound like they should: Momma, cracker, kitty, hot, Pop. She can also make a lot of the animal sounds. Nothing like Carter did, but she hasn't shown the interest in animals that he did.

These pictures are from her first day of School.
