Panties!!!!

Millie has been bugging us all the time to wear panties. So finally, on Thursday when Jacade kept her, he let her put on panties. And she stayed dry until it was time to go to bed and we put a diaper back on to sleep.

On Friday, she wore panties all day. She only had 2 accidents. She just kept saying, "I wear panties like Mommy."

Over the weekend, Debbie (Mawt Maw) kept her so we could go on a little anniversary trip, and I am assuming that she was back in the diaper all weekend. Can't blame Mawt Maw though! But when we got home she was ready to put the panties back on.

Flashback Friday

I was looking through some old photos the other day because I wanted to show Millie that my mom used to rock me in the same rocking chair that I rock her in every night. So I came across this photo and was totally shocked.....that baby looks like Millie! How cool and sweet is that!

Whoa...Girl

Last night before bed, I was reading books to Millie in the living room. She kept zipping and unzipping the fleece sleeper I put her in. So we (me, Jacade, and MawtMaw) asked her if she was hot? And she said that she was, so she took it off herself.

She then started singing and doing her own dance routine. She was singing "Jesus Loves Me" and twirling around in a circle, faster and faster and then....she fell! And we were waiting and waiting and waiting for the wailing....and then we heard her say, "BOINK!" And she got back up and finished her dance routine with all of her fancy moves.

Never missed a beat!

Rebecca is thankful...

that Millie is NOT afraid of the thunder and lightning. And I think it's because we read over and over, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? In the book, it says, "Boom, Boom, Boom, Mr. Brown makes thunder. Lightning goes Splat, Splat, Splat and it's very hard to make a noise like that."

This morning when it was lightning and thundering very loud, I went into Millie's room just to check on her and she was awake and was laughing. It would thunder and she would say, "That's loud." And I told her, "Wow, looks like Mr. Brown is really busy." And she was fine.

Graduated again

I think Millie has graduated from using the highchair. She no longer wants to sit in it; we have four chairs around the dining room table and she just sits in one of the armchairs. Of course, if we have company, the seating arrangement would have to change slightly. But I am thinking that maybe I should just pack it up. She is growing up way too fast.

Let's Paint!

One day this past week, I asked the press manager if I could get a roll of newspaper print for Millie to color on? And yes, he had one that he could give me. So I brought it home and Millie just had to paint.

It started out with the paintbrushes, then moved to her fingers, then finally her whole body! She had a great time though.
