I Hardly Recognize This Girl

My Silly Millie is really growing up. Some of my favorite things about her:

She has a great sense of humor - makes us laugh all the time.

She has a very nurturing personality.

She talks non-stop in full sentences and does not have a "quiet" voice. I feel like she shouts at me all day long. (Probably a product of being baby #3)

She is a little bit scared of dogs - but only if they get close to her.

She's ALWAYS carrying a blanket and usually carrying a baby doll.

She recently moved to a toddler bed and is doing pretty well staying where she should.

She gives people some fun nicknames: Kay-kee (Katie), Ya-Ya (Ryan), Manca (Bianca), Lay-lee (Haylee), Baby Oh-no (Baby Owen), Jimmer or Chubba (James).

She thinks that poodles are sheep, and calls ponytails "horseys".

The Little Guy

Jammer is not a fan of baby food - he won't open up his mouth for the spoon. I think we might end up skipping pureed baby food altogether. He wants to USE those two little teeth.

We recently met my friend Veronica at a beach near her house and had a blast. Here's the boy in a hilarious outfit that makes him look like a trapeze artist. I'm trying to keep him protected from the sun (sunscreen is expensive!) and I didn't have many choices. Seriously, flames? He's cute though.

He's seven months now and crawls like a champ and pulls up and walks along the furniture. His balance still leaves much to be desired but he is starting to learn how to get down after he gets to a standing position. He's growing up too fast!
