Millie turns a year old!!!

Jacade and I were talking on Tuesday night about how we were getting everything ready to go to the hospital that night, a year ago, b/c I was scheduled to be induced at 5:30 a.m. on May 7. But God and Millie had other plans; that my water broke at about 2:45 a.m. and we were off to the hospital shortly thereafter. I had told Jacade that morning that I thought that my water had broke or I had peed in my pants. Glad it was the first thought. And my mom is too. Millie was naturally born on her birthday and my cousin's too. So Millie is the third generation born on May 7.

So Camille Skye Long "Miss Millie" was born at 1:20 p.m. on Monday, May 7, 2007, weighing in at a healthy 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. She was a good sized baby. And the delivery went well, I think. Of course looking back, you really can't remember how painful it was. My doctors and nurses were great, as was Jacade. He was very supportive. And he was just as blown away as I was.

Now, a year later and it's all be fun. Lots of lost sleep, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Millie is so smart and fun to be around. She just makes me smile!!! She gives great kisses and is learning, as of today (May 8) to blow kisses. She likes the outdoors and loves music. She dances and shakes her one leg like Elvis, and waves her hands in the air and rocks back and forth. It is so funny. She loves to look at books and play with balls. This morning, she even said, "Book."

I went to Smyrna yesterday at Nana and Papa's house and we had a little birthday party for her. It was her first taste of birthday cake. And she loved it - imagine that! She had a mini cupcake with whipped cream frosting. But she was very dainty about eating the frosting and finally dug in to the cake. And we only gave her one, which was smart, b/c she was wired. And I'm glad that we had the party mid-afternoon instead of last night. I think she enjoyed everything though - who wouldn't!!!
