Millie Louise

Millie Lousie Drake - 11 Months old.
Aka: Mills, Milster, Milikins, Millie-moo, Moo Moo, Baby doll, Princess, Sis.

It has been a while since i have updated, so i thought i would just do a little entry about each of the kids, since there have been a few changes around here lately......
Millie finally got some teeth!! Yeah she is almost a year old....about time. We were out with my friend about a week and a half ago and i was feeding Millie some icing from a cupcake with my finger, i felt something sharp on my finger.... I was so excited!! She finally got a tooth! I fed her some more icing and was feeling around on the top and discovered another tooth....then another.....and another....4 TEETH!! I had checked a few days earlier and she didn't have any teeth, then all of a sudden 4, no wonder she had been grumpy that week. Since then 2 more have poked through - so now we are at 6 teeth. I have tried to snap a couple of pictures of them but Millie refuses to let me take a picture. She looks so cute when she smiles and you see her pearly whites!!
She has also started walking...kind of. She will walk around with her little push toys. All she can do right now is walk in a straight line. She can stand on her own and has taken a couple of steps without holding on to anything.....NO!! my baby can't almost be one. This last year has flown by, and Millie still seems so little to every other kid around her same age.
Crusing around.....crawling is still faster!

Millie's new favorite hobby is climbing up in the carseat. Last night Kent was at his mom's house and said "Ok Mills, should we go home?" She crawled over and got in her carseat and sat there waiting for Kent to buckle her in - how CUTE!!!

Millie loves hanging out in Jaxon's booster seat!

Millie is recovering from Croup, which she came down with last week. I felt so bad and she seemed so helpless as she would sit and "Bark" all night long, she loved to just be snuggled and loved. Millie we are so glad you are on the mend..We love you!!

She is so, so cute Julie! It's so exciting when they start doing new things, at the same time sad. I don't want my kids to grow up so fast!
