What Millie said.....

Just wanted to record what Millie said the other night; it was too funny!
Mawt Maw was holding her and told her, "Millie, I'm going to eat you all up!"
And Millie said, "No, no, then Mommy and Daddy wouldn't have Millie."
How cute is that?

Say a prayer for Millie

She has been sick for a week now. Jacade took her to the doctor last Friday and they told her that she just had a cold. She was able to get the FluMist. And she now weighs 32 lbs. and is 36 in. tall.

But since Monday, she has been running a fever. It goes from 99.5 to 101.9 all throughout the day. It was 99.2 this morning so hopefully we are getting towards the end.

Just please say a little prayer for a quick recovery for her (and for her parents - we've been getting up every 4 hours to check her temp and give her medicine).

Our Halloween Pumpkins

Instead of carving pumpkins this year, we put stickers on them - well, Millie did! We spent a few minutes decorating our pumpkins.

At the pumpkin patch

One Friday afternoon when Jacade was keeping Millie, they came up and had lunch with me and we went to the Pumpkin Patch at the church up the street from my office. Although it was raining, I got a few good pictures of Millie for her 3rd Halloween.

Salt Dough

I mixed some salt dough for Millie to play with one Saturday afternoon in October and needless to say, she had a lot of fun...and made a BIG MESS!

Mischievous...

Millie has figured out that if she wants something bad enough, she will just take matters into her own hands, drag a chair over to the counter, climb up on the chair, then up onto the counter and into the cabinet!

Halloween!

One morning, I had set out my clothes to wear that day. I was going to get Millie's clothes together for her to wear that day also, but she decided that she was going to wear my clothes instead. After she got dressed, I thought it would make a perfect Halloween outfit. But on Halloween, she was not interested at all in dressing up, so she went as herself. At least I was able to get a few pictures of her dressed up like.....MOMMY!

Millie dresses herself

Don't you just love it when your child takes it upon themselves to get dressed? You never know what the outcome will be but you know they have some satisfaction from doing it themselves. This was one of those days.

Millie loves to cook

One afternoon in October after church, Millie decided that she wanted to help Daddy cook lunch/brunch. We had scrambled eggs with cheese.

Millie goes fishing

One day in October Millie said that she wanted to go fishing. So we got all geared up and went out to the pond. Of course, we didn't catch anything and she didn't stay interested for very long, but I got some good pictures.

Millie cuts the grass

Well, not really. But she does like to ride on the riding lawnmower with her daddy and pretend to cut the grass.

Uploading pictures

I've been horrible about uploading new and recent pictures of Millie. I guess I've been a little busy! So I'm going to overload you with some new pictures of Millie from the past 2 months.

Reverse Psychology

Do you think it is wrong to use Reverse Psychology? I have been using that a little with Millie lately and it's been working. For instance, I have tried to get her to use the bathroom on several occasions and she says no. So then I said, "Let's see if you cannot use the bathroom." And she runs to the bathroom, laughing all the way, sits up there and uses it.

Or this morning when I tried to get her dressed and she resisted. I said, "Let's see if you can't put on your clothes." And she got dressed.

And the other night, she wanted to read the 12 little Christmas books she got from Mops. She pulled all the books out and after I finished reading them, didn't want to put them back in. So I said to her, "Millie, I can't remember how to put these books in the case. Can you show me how to do it?" And she did it, no problem!
