Edisto

Last week, we went to Edisto. It was Miller's first time at the beach,

and this picture pretty much sums up how she felt about it.

Miller enjoyed lots ofthings while we were at the beach, such as....

eating sand,

modeling new fashions,

hanging out with CC,

and snuggling her cousin, Wade.

Then, we went to the Children's Museum in Charleston where Miller snagged a 9 month old boyfriend. I wish I had a picture, but I didn't want to photograph someone else's child without asking. Miller was all hugged up on this kid within 2 minutes of spotting him. She has got to learn to let them come to her! She also enjoyed riding a blue duck.

Then, she was imprisoned for un-ladylike behavior.

Finally, Bobbles decided that our dirty and gross accomodations beach house (no thanks to a certain crappy real estate agency, which I will gladly give you the name of so you never use it) offended her delicate nature, so she let us know she was ready to head home.

So we did.

10 Months

Well, Miller will be 11 months next week, so I guess it is time to post her 10 month photo. ..

Baby Dedication

Miller's baby dedication was last Sunday. For those of you non-Baptists such as myself (I may have joined a Baptist church, but I am not sure I am ready to call myself a Baptist just yet), it is basically a regular-people Baptism without the water. Don't worry, we threw some water at her head when we got home, just in case. We tried to get a good family picture afterwards, and here is what happened...

9 Months Old!

I can't believe Bobbles is 9 months old. That seems way too close to a year! It is getting harder and harder to take these pictures, because she is all over the place. She has learned to open cabinets, is pulling up on everything, and basically trying to break her face all day long. It is giving me a panic attack of course.

I only have 12 more days of school, so I can chase her around all day long soon and hopefully be a better blogger. But probly not.

Easter

Miller really enjoyed a few new things on her first Easter.

1. Wearing shoes.

2. Wearing bunny ears.

3. Swinging at the park.

4. Conning a lady at the church nursery into walking the halls with her while she slept.

Here she is modeling her Easter fashions.

And She's Off!

I don't have any pictures or video to prove it, because our computer isn't in the mood to upload from my phone, but....Miller is officially crawling AND pulling up. She crawled on Thursday and pulled up on Sunday in her crib. She has been all over the place for a while, but now it is official!

In other news, there are only 21 days of school left. Praise Jesus!

Speaking of Jesus, Miller's dedication is this weekend. She will probably learn to walk before then...

8 Months

Here is Miller's 8 months picture, which was taken on April 12th.

I don't have too much exciting news. Bobbles is still trying really hard to crawl, but mostly deciding to roll instead. She can stand up while holding on to something or someone and is basically all over the place.

I am having nightmares about her baby dedication, which is in 2 weeks. I am picturing a bunch of sweet little arm babies laying there looking pretty and one wild Miller baby wiggling all over the place wanting to be put down. She has also figured out how to squeal, so I am 99% sure she will be doing that too.

She is not interested in napping at all! Some days we are only getting 2 thirty minute naps! I think I may have had too much caffeine while I was pregnant. Oops.

Miller is talking a lot saying "ma ma ma"and "da da da."

Most importantly, I think she had her first baby temper tantrum in TJ Maxx yesterday. She grabbed a dress off the rack. Apparently she thought it was cute. Too bad mommy thought it was ugly, so I put it back. Miller screamed bloody murder, so I handed the dress back to her and she started giggling and flapping her arms. I said, "Sorry Miller, this dress is not cute. Mommy is not going to buy you an ugly dress." I thought she would understand that I was trying to help her develop her fashion sense, but no luck. She screamed and screamed until I took her out of the shopping cart and made a quick exit. Geez.
