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.

Oops

Well, Miller will be 8 months old next week and I haven't even done her 7 month post. Or anything else since her 6 month post for that matter. So....here she is at 7 months.

We couldn't get a great picture since Fred was out of town and she really wanted to eat that paper.

She has been eating all kinds of food (squash, avocado, blueberries, green beans, pears, peas, yogurt, rice, oatmeal, bananas, puffs, Mum-Mums....) She will pretty much eat anything. She is also really trying to crawl. Mostly she just revs up her little engine and then topples over. Sometimes she does a little leap frog move and then lands on her face. Then she just rolls around until she gets where she is trying to go.

We went to the doctor this week because I thought she was having allergies. Despite the fact that 400 people told me babies can't have allergies, the doctor looked at her from across the room and said, "She looks allergic from here." 10 points for mommy! She weighed in at 17 lbs 4 oz. Big girl!

Maybe I will do her 8 month post in a more timely manner. I am going to do my best to update the photo blog ASAP.

That's all for now. We've got to get ready for church. Can babies wear seersucker before Easter? I hope so, because mine is about to....

Miller is 6 Months Old!

OK, so she is actually 6 and a half months old, but she used to be 6 months old. And here is what she looked like....

At her 6 month appointment, Bobbles weighed 15 bs 9 oz. Yay for weight gain! She was also in the 74th percentile for height. So, we had a paternity test done, and....ha ha ha, only kidding! We were pretty shocked to have such a tall girl though.

Baby girl has been eating a lot of people food lately including sweet potatoes, bananas, yogurt, green beans, carrots, and Baby Mum Mums. For those of you who aren't in-the-know, that would be a rice cracker. She has also grown two teeth! With her teeth came a new smile that is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. Miller's cousin, E-Baby, apparently found it a bit confusing.

Things have been crazy busy around here between Fred getting sick every weekend and going out of town every week. And then there's that silly baby, who just seems to take up a lot of my time!

My 365 photos blog is actually turning out to be more like a 186 photos blog, but you will just have to deal with that. I am going to update it right now. Promise.

I would say I am going to be a better blogger, but I am probably not. So there.
