Bugs


Wilson and his millipede
Miller and her bugs (in the form of a yucky cold & ear infection). She fell asleep in her swing at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and did not wake up until 1:00 this morning. She ate and went back to sleep in her swing until 6:ish. She still as sweet as ever, just sleepy (and snotty).

Thanks for the New Kicks, Aunt Ash!

My Aunt Ashley sent me these cool shoes when I was born. They’re still just a little big, but way too cute to sit on the shelf any longer. You can’t see him in the picture below, but my stuffed sheep that hangs on my crib is telling me jokes and cracking me up!

These shoes are so comfy, I decided to take a nap in them!

Quarter of Year!

Happy three months (and a week) to our sweet baby girl, Miller. Poor second child- I’m a week late making her month b’day video (I thought about it on the 7th, but we were having a rough day) and then when I finally made it I got the info wrong. For those of you keeping a calendar, she was not baptised this month as I say she was on the video. It was actually just days before she turned 2 months old, and thus should have been included in lasts months video, but wasn’t. Oh well, baby girl, we really do love you, I’m just not as good at documenting it!!

She is videoed in the gown she wore home from the hospital- look how much she’s grown!

2 days old and ready to go home

Buds



What can I say, two peas in a pod. Wilson has always liked his sister, but lately he has just really been head over heels for her. He wants her with him all the time. I put her in her stroller a good bit when I’m working around the house so she can see what’s going on. Sometimes, I’ll get busy and realize the stroller is no longer with me. Wilson will have come and gotten Millie to watch TV with him. In the first picture they are watching Toy Story 2. She actually sat and watched it. I didn’t hear a peep out of either of them for over half an hour! He also wants to sit and keep her company while she watches one of her movies (Baby Einstein). The next two pictures are from this morning. She was laying on the floor of the playroom after I’d changed her diaper. He asked if he could hold her and when I said yes, he went to pick her up before I could even get in there to help him. As soon as he put his hands on her he realized she’s much too heavy for him to pick up and decided instead to get settled on his bean bag chair. As I was handing her to him he asked if I’d like to take their picture. Ever the eager paparazzi, I quickly accepted the rare invitation for a photo shoot and grabbed my camera. What a couple of hams in their jammies! I just got them to bed and she had a bit of trouble getting settled. One of the times that I went in to check on her she’d thrown up- I think I overfed her in an effort to get a few more quiet hours, oops!! Wilson called from his room asking what I was doing. When I told him she’d gotten sick and I was cleaning her up, he asked if he could help. What a sweety! This really is a sweet (and I’m guessing rare & fleeting)time in their sibling relationship. She of course is completely receiving at this point and he is still so innocent that he has not yet realized that your “supposed” to not like your little sister so much and your “supposed” to make trouble with/for siblings! I’m guessing that will change in about 4 months when she starts grabbing everything in sight and crushing Lego towers. But we’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Have a great week!

Fancy Pants


Miller is showing off her, oh so cute, coat and ruffly bonnet that her Pat Pat gave her at my baby shower. She wore them Sunday- although, it was not that cold I was worried we’d never get to wear them if we didn’t then when it was just a touch chilly. The coat is reversible– it’s pink knit on one side and says “hug me”; it’s yellow fleece on the other and says “don’t bug me”. The flower hangs loose over the buttons & reverses as well with a lady bug embroidered on it. The dress and shoes were mine when I was a baby.

She’s also showing off one of her latest skills, thumb sucking. The other newest discoveries are blowing bubbles and raising her arm way above her head when she’s excited (see watching Baby Einstein, below, for a demonstration).
