SLEEPING!!

It has happened. Millie started sleeping thru the night last week. I thought it was just a fluke the first time, but she has stuck with it. Last night I fed her last at about 10:30, then she fought going to sleep. She probably wasn't in bed until about 11:30 - 12:00 but... I woke her up at 8:00am to eat. I was SHOCKED. I'll let you know if she regresses.

Of course I'm still way behind on posting pics, but I will get some up soon. Might be a little easier now that I'm rested up. HA HA!!

Millie - 10 Weeks

Nana was our photographer this week. The weather has finally gotten pretty chilly and the only toboggan that I have that will half way fit Millie is Carter's old one. She has some girly ones that are sized 0-6 months, but any 0 month old that could wear it would have quite a melon. We're at 50th percentile on head size at 2 months and her hats are so big they only get in her eyes and it does not make her happy. For an update Millie weighed 11 lbs, 1 oz at her 2 month check up.

Millie - 9 Weeks

As you can tell I'm way behind posting pictures. I've been back at work part time and every week just seems to fly by. These pics would not grace the pages of any magazine, but they are the first ones I could get of Carter voluntarily holding Millie. He thinks he's so big and he's all about it until she starts to cry, then its "carry mommy". In Carter talk that means he wants mommy to carry Millie.

Halloween 2006

You probably have noticed that the Halloween pictures are about a week late. The night should have been what I expected, but it was NOT what I had planned. Carter absolutely, positively refused to wear his costume. You're wondering how I have this picture?? Well, at about 9:15 Halloween night after we had been at Nana's for about an hour she finally convinced him to put it on and get his treat from her. The little dragon was adorable, but he wore it for a total of about 15 minutes. Earlier in the evening we went to the "Fall Festival" at church, he loved all the games and the cardboard box tunnel but he enjoyed it all in a white tshirt and dragon legs.

Millie kept it pretty simple, she wore one of Carter's old halloween onesies and then when it got cooler she became a fleece pumpkin. As you can tell in the pictures she slept through the entire night.

Millie - 8 Weeks II

Still trying to get a picture of Carter holding Millie. It's been 8 weeks and still no luck. He will on occasion "hold" her when there is no camera present. He's amazed by her nose. He loves to squeeze it. She doesn't mind, yet.

Millie - 8 Weeks

I got a new camera phone for my birthday. I'm learning how to send the pics to my email. They actually came through. Everyone says she's starting to look a little more like her brother. I think I have to agree.

Daredevil

Carter could be described as a "scaredy" cat. If a cartoon he's watching has a scary character or makes scary noises then he wants to "hold mommy." So I assumed that bright lights, strangers, and crazy carnival rides would be a little intimidating. I was wrong. We went with the Jones' (Jason, Rebecca, Anderson & Sullivan) to the Gurdon Forest Festival Saturday night, they had a small midway with kiddie rides. It was a neat, small town thing. They also had free, live music all day and the last concert was Jody Evans (Nashville start top 3 and Arkadelphia cop). I think all of Gurdon was there. But back to Carter... the first ride Chris was able to ride with him and then he rode a couple of rides with Anderson (age 3). He loved it!! Chris didn't try to put him on the mini ferris wheel because he thought the whole cage thing might be a little much. But wrong again, Rebecca and I went with them the second time and Carter wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel, the attendant didn't want to let him on at first because the "cage" had to be balanced. Carter was not taking no for an answer. Anderson wanted to ride too and then 2 little girls walked up. So they packed the 4 kids in this tiny cage, I would have been having a claustrophobic fit. Not the boys they were squealing and waving and laughing and probably scaring the little girls to death. The last ride of the night...lady bugs, Carter yelled YEE-HAW the entire ride.

All of the excitement and I didn't have a camera!! Very Sad!!
