What Millie's been up to lately

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've been meaning to, but life just keeps happening!

Millie just keeps growing up. She is talking very clearly and understands a lot.

Last night she really surprised me. I was going to scramble her an egg for dinner while I fixed us some tuna, but she wanted to try the tuna. So I gave her a small piece, expecting her to spit it out. No. She asked for more. WHOA! And then I was eating some homemade beef jerky that was a little spicy. Of course she wanted to try it and she liked it too. So for dinner she ate albacore tuna (plain), corn off-the-cob, and 3 dried plums.

She spent the latter part of last week and the weekend with Nana and Papa. And they bragged on her saying that she slept so well and ate just about everything put in front of her. We think that they just gave her ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner, b/c a lot of times, she pushes food away at our house. And she hasn't been sleeping that great either. Of course, she is a smart baby and she's probably figured out that once she starts fussing and crying, someone will be there to pick her up (shame on Daddy and Mawt Maw). Just kidding, I have gone in a few times too.

And Nana and Papa taught Millie a cute little game (if you want to call it that). She thinks it is so funny. What you do is, you act like you are falling asleep. And then Millie says, "Wake up!" And you wake up, all excited and refreshed. She just laughs and laughs!!

She still won't eat cherry tomatoes, although she ate one-half of one yesterday. But she does like chicken now (finally) and now loves, drum roll please.....BROCCOLI! Nana and Papa got her to eat it first and now she loves it.

She likes to take your nose and then asks you if you'd like it back. Of course I want it back. I would look awfully funny without it and would miss out on so many smells.

She still loves to read books. She just got a few for her birthday. She especially loves one of her new books, Silly Sally. Silly Sally, walking backwards, upside down. On the way, she met a pig. A silly pig, they danced a jig. On each page, Millie has to turn the book upside down so she can look at Silly Sally right side up.

I'll post more things later. Got to get back to work!!
