6 Months

What a beautiful child, wouldn't you say? I dont mean, 'I have a cuter baby then you' kind of beautiful, but just simply beautiful. A beautiful being, and daughter of an incredible Heavenly Father that has blessed me with her. Her happy, healthy demeanor is something I am grateful for every day. This sweet child makes me smile, and laugh every day, nearly every hour.
This sweet girl has had an eventful month. She has cut her first tooth, she's become a really really great sitter. she could be a better sleeper, but Im glad to report shes a great eater. She falls into the 50% for height and weight, with a slightly larger head. I am one lucky Mama -

In between all the craziness!

BROTHER AND SISTER FOREVER

This face of Millicent's makes me laugh... she is smiling. I promise-

Poor girl needs some girly toys- Maybe she won't even want em'

Sweet Milly was wearing Henry's old jams, and using his blanket to keep warm - she's a spitting image of Henry at that age.

I LOVE this bundle of joy - More to come on her 6 month post -  thats right, 6 MONTHS! How time flies

5 Months -

My sweet, tiny, precious treasure is 5 months old. 5 months. 5 MONTHS! Can someone please stop time?! ANYONE? It makes me sad just how fast it goes. She is a sweet, smiley, enjoyable girl and I feel blessed every moment of every day that I have her. Here are some new things we are experiencing with our sweet Millicent -

Solids- My baby girl LOVES to grab, and hold anything and then put it all into her mouth. Dinner for the family is NOT a fun time for her as she would like to join in on the feast. SO about 3 weeks ago we started solids, and for the most part she loves them. I have made her carrots, and zucchini, and a banana/peach/spinach mix she isnt so sure about yet, but the rest of it she loves. She LOVES to gnaw on a piece of toast or a pretzel....

Sleep- hit or miss, I usually feed baby girl once through the night. she does anywhere from 4-6 hour stretches. And naps for her are very sporadic. :( Henry was VERY consistent and did well with a schedule...she is taking her time getting all that figured out.

Mamma's girl - I didnt know she was such a mommy's girl until I started school again. It worries and stressed me out as well as makes it hard for poor daddy who does a great job at distracting her and hopefully soon she adjusts well so I can feel less guilty about being gone at night.

SMILES - Milly is FAR more smiley then Henry was. He was adorable and such an incredibly sweet boy, but he LOVED to scowl at people. Not my Milly- she enjoys smiling at everyone!

I am in love

Ps- I have many many many more pictures, but am having an issue with my camera and it's flash... more to come!

Millicent Ella - 3 Months Old!

My dear sweet baby girl - Today marks 3 months since your arrival in our little family, lighting up our lives so much! You are such a sweet baby. You are a calm, smiley, adorable sweet girl. You have so many people that love you in this world -

 You eat like a champ! You sleep very well at night, although not through the night you sleep in about 6 hour chunks. I think when you start eating solids you will sleep even better because at night you hardly eat anything at all.

You LOVE your brother and he makes you smile constantly. Not only will you smile for him so often, I find you just watching him, studying him it seems. You see fascinated by this handsome little boy that enjoys talking and playing with you

Daddy is convinced you can say "daddy" and while you cant actually SAY daddy, you make very similar sounds for the same amount of time he does when he says "Daddy...." It's very sweet. You love to sit on Daddy's lap and just watch him. I wonder often what thoughts you are having in your tiny, infant, head. 

 We have been unable to get you on a very good routine schedule - some days are better than others, but that never seems to affect your mood. You rarely fight a nap, and are very ready when it's time.

And... we've started tummy time. You are such a patient girl. I can see you dont LOVE to be on your tummy, but you work hard to old yourself up and look around a bit - Its very sweet to see you try so hard. You remind me of your daddy and both of your grandpas. You come from a line of very hardworking men, and in your tiny 3 months I believe you will come have an incredible work ethic like that of the men in your life. You are a very curious girl, and being outside calms you almost every time. We enjoy sitting on the porch while Henry rides his bike, or laying on a blanket on the grass - 

I am thankful for you everyday sweet girl. I dont know how or why I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful, sweet, baby girl. It took very little time to adjust to your arrival and I have loved every minute. I adore you sweet girl and am so excited to continue to watch you grow, develop, and discover the world around you.
