So you wonder what Cory does to occupy Bethany while I am out of the picture?
Wonder no longer...

After anxiously awaiting Abbie's amazing photos...we have to wait no longer!
Abbie has delivered dozens of delectable doozies for our viewing pleasure. I am especially surprised that these photos look so amazing, since both of the little boogers where especially uncooperative!
Here is one to wet your appetite:

In order to continue the education of the public, we figured we'd take this opportunity to teach our lovely readers stuff about the Milles Family. What? You don't care. Too bad. You're reading my blog....so you are subjected to my thoughts! :)
So let the education begin!
Did you know...
That during Tummy Time Owen loves to push is cute booty in the air. He can't stop pushing up on his feet. I think we are going to have an early mover. But what I've learned since Bethany is that you don't want them to move too soon...so hopefully he is just content with shaking his booty in the air & doesn't have a desire to really be mobile too soon!

Bethany is outside. All. The. Time! She loves it. Here are a few snapshops of her playing outside this past weekend.

Owen had his first check-up at the dr. office this week. To show him how it's done, Bethany had a check-up too. What a devoted big sister!
Both kids did well. Here are there stats:
Owen--1month check-up:
Height: 21.25" --25th%tile
Weight: 9 lb 2 oz--25th%tile
Bethany--2 year check-up:
Height: 34.75" --75th%tile
Weight: 28lb 8oz --75th%tile
The are both meeting the milestones appropriately. It seems to me that Bethany is far above the expectations set for a 2 year-old. They are asking for 50 words and 2 to 3 word sentences. Cory and I estimate Bethany is far above 100 words...probably closer to 200 words. And I've heard sentences as complex as 6 words long coming from our lil' chatter box.
In other news...
Cory had meetings three days this week. That was my first time taking care of the two of them by myself. They aren't too terribly difficult. Bethany showed a couple fits of jealousy. When Owen needed to eat or needed to be picked up, she had a couple lil' fits. Bless Owen's heart though. He has the patience of a saint. He doesn't react to her crying & even once stopped crying when she started. It was as if he knew I could only handle one screaming kid at a time. Cory's done with meetings for now, so we can resume spoiling them both with undivided attention!

Bethany found a new use for her kitchen...cooking for her lil' brother.
Here she is cooking a meal and feeding him.
What you can't hear is that while she is at her kitchen, she makes sound effects while she cooks. It is super cute to hear her go ch-ch-ch as she shakes the various foods into her bowl and stirs them up! :-)
I am glad she is such a good big sister! I am doubley glad that Owen is such a good sport with putting up with her and her antics!

.....Getting Older!
Both of the Milles kids made it to another milestone this weekend.
On Friday, Owen turned 1 month old! Here he is doing what he does best (during the day time hours, that is!):
On Sunday Bethany turned the big 0-2! She loved having a birthday. She's been singing happy birthday for the past month. Usually in the song, she'll include the name of one of her friends from the sitters. But this time, she was so excited to sing it to herself! She loved having cake and presents, of course!

Yes...I did place him in his bouncy seat nice and straight. That didn't last long!
She decided it was his birthday and placed the strawberry on top of his head. What is the significance of this...I am not sure. But he does look rather cute!
