Absolutely Adorable!

Just in case you didn't realize...I am absolutely adorable! Don't you think so?

Visiting the Grandparents!

I got to visit Grandma and Grandpa Milles this weekend. I have been missing them! :o) I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks. It was tons o' fun to see them again!

We Match!

Aren't we adorable! We both are wearing our pretty blue outfits. Although, I do think I look cuter! :)

I can do it better!

I think that my Mom needs help feeding me. Honestly, I do a much better job. I try to help her as much as I can. Whenever Mom brings the spoon near my mouth, I grab it with both hands and hold it in my mouth to lick ever morsel off food off. Then, I wave it in the air trying to make it back in my mouth. To signal that I am ready for more, I just drop it on my bib and Mom picks it up for me. What a great system we have worked out!

Not my diaper!

hehehehe! Everytime those sucker parents of mine put me on my back, I roll over. Here I rolled over as Mom was trying to change my diaper...let's see exactly how good she is at changing diapers. I doubt even she could change it from this angle!

Bunny Ears!

Bethany and I were laying around on one of her blankets last night & Cory noticed that she had bunny ears! Isn't she the cutest lil' bunny you ever did see?

The coolest things about this blanket is that it was mine when I was little. What an old blanket!

Eatting AGAIN!

We have the piggiest lil' baby there ever was. She is eatting non-stop in the evenings. We bounce back and forth between nursing, baby food and bottles. But she is always demanding more! The crazy thing is that she is still in 0-3 month clothing. I am surprised she hasn't upgraded, considering the amount of food she consumes!

Playing around!

Bethany loves to play (and drool) all night long. If you are wondering why she is without clothes, it is because she was a complete mess after din-din. We tried some bananas today for dinner. She LOVED them. She took to those much better than the cereal. We also visited Bethany's Great Grandma in New Madrid this weekend. She was a great lil' baby on her first road trip. It was a lot of fun for all!

Rollin' with the homies

BEFORE

AFTER

Can't decide which is best!

I like to stick things in my mouth now. I think I will start with my thumb and what a sweet thumb it is!

No, the thumb isn't enough. I think I need the whole-shebang in my mouth.

But, a fist isn't very ladylike, now is it? How about a good ole' pacifier? What do you think I should use.
Vote now...the poll is to the right!

Do you see the resemblance?

Turns out our lil' Maggie is becoming more like Mr. Burns everyday!

Playing with the ol' man!

I'm sitting on top of the world!

Happy Labor Day!

I'm a stinker

I rolled over Thursday at the sitter's. I think it was an accident. The sitter placed me in bed & I didn't want to sleep. So, I figured I would make everyone miserable and I cried & cried. Somehow I managed to flail my arms & legs enough that I ended up on my stomach when I was check on next. Thursday night Mom tried to get me to do it again. But I, clearly, have a mind of my own! Here is how it all went down:

1. Starting position: You want me to do what? Again?

2. If I kick my leg like this, it gives me some nice leverage.

3. Okay. I made it this far...but I can't seem to get quite on my stomach.
This darn arm is in the way. That is okay. I will make Mom and Dad wait longer to show them my mad rollin' skills

Eating Cereal!

So I tried my first bit of cereal today. I don't know what quite to think of it. Here is how it all went down:

1) I tried to help my mom out some. I didn't want it to get all over the place...so I made sure to put my bib over my face, that way I wouldn't need a bath later.

2. Oh..that spoony-thing has the mush on it.
It is supposed to go in my mouth...hmm. Interesting.

3. Oh what sweet sustenance. I think I could make this work!

Who do you be?

Am I really related to him?

Playing with Daddy

Cory and Bethany love to play a lot. :) Cory discovered that Bethany likes to dance in front of the mirror. We discovered very shortly after she was born, that she was a vain little thing...always looking in the mirror. But little did we know we had our own Ginger Rogers here!

My Very Own Chair!

Now that I can hold my head up better, I can sit down like any other human baby!

Playing Around

Cory and I have been doing a great job at not working so much after school. We are spending more time with Bethany. Some work things are just going to have to wait. Here Bethany is sitting on my belly. She thought it was hilarious. She squealed really loud and had a gigantic smile across her face the whole time (that is until the camera came out...she gets a deer in headlights look when a camera is around lately!).

Tantalizing Tummy Time

Look at what I can do! I can lift my head up while I am playing on my tummy. This lil' play mat is great. It has a wonderful mirror that I love staring it. It is pretty amazing to always find a gorgeous baby smiling back at me while I stare into the mirror!

I also like playing on my back so I can check out what is going on around me better.
Someone has to keep an eye on my parents...you know how crazy those 2 kids can be!

First Day of School!

Just chillin' and waiting for the folks to finally get ready for work.

Man they take a long time to get out the door!

Here we are all ready to go for the first day of school! I can't believe we start school so early. I remember back in the day when school started the day after labor day. Cory and I will both be teaching at the same school this year. So that is pretty exciting. Cory is teaching 7th grade Comm. Arts and I will be teaching 7th grade science. We are on different teams, of course; but it is really nice to be in the same building. Too bad Bethany can't be in the same building as us. Now, that would be something!

"Talking" to Daddy!

Bethany has become quite the conversationalist!
She is always finding something intelligent and interesting to talk about with us!

1st Day at the Sitters!

I had my first day at the sitter's today. All went well. Although, I do believe it was a little hard on my mommy to leave me all day long. I think she is going to miss our cuddle times and cooing times we like to have. Perhaps, she will assign less homework in order to be able to spend more time with me in the evenings!

Busy Bees!

Sorry it has been a week since we last posted. Life is finally picking back up!

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Milles family headed to our school to set up our classrooms. Bethany did a great job at the school. She took naps and was a good girl while awake. Our classrooms are basically set up and ready to go. We have a few little things still to do.

Thursday was our 4th anniversary. The day started by us working on our classrooms. Then we celebrated by having "Two-fers" at Texas Roadhouse. It was yummy. To end our celebrations we had a romantic evening of cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry, washing dishes and bathing babies!

This weekend was pretty uneventful until our air conditioner decided to die on us. Some wire did something or another that resulted in a melting of a wire and disabling of the unit. We had the a/c guy come out Monday and fix it for us. Now it is running beautifully!

Tuesday was Bethany's 2 month birthday! We celebrated this occasion by giving her 4 shots at the doctor's office. She got 2 shots in each thigh, poor kid! All her measurements were taken. Here are her latest stats: 10 lbs 8 oz and 22 3/4 inches!

Here are some pictures for the last week:

Learning to play with some toys.

We always enjoy our lil' goo's beautiful smile.

On our way to our doctor appointment.

All sweet and innocent!
