James loves Miller





James is having a hard time sharing his toys with Miller. As soon as she looks at something of his he takes it away. He usually hands her a baby toy, but she wants to play with his toys. I often hear "mama Miller is ready to take her nap" when this is going on. I hate to say it but its so cute to watch. These pictures were taken after James made her cry. Although he hates to share his toys, he sure does love his sister!

James' Valentine Party

.
James was so excited that I came to his party!

Miller and Holton had fun too!


Every child made a heart. This is James'. He was the only child who loved something other than their family or a pet. P.S- We don't even have a lawn mower. Someone does our yard!! I love how a 3.5 year old brain works!

James' Oil Painting

This is a picture of an oil portrait we had painted of James. We got it taken this summer right after his 3rd Birthday. I am so happy with the turnout. It was well worth the 6 month wait.

9 Months


I have not taken a picture of Miller with my camera in over a month. This is a picture off my phone. I promise more pictures will be coming soon! She has been taking great naps and this is how I found her in her room during her afternoon nap.

I At 9 Months Miller weighs 19.lbs 2oz and is 26 inches long. She is in the 25th-50th percentile for both. She is still wearing 6-9 month clothes. Yesterday she FINALLY started crawling and she is fast. She had been crawling backwards for a while and scooting everywhere but the true craw came at 9months. She is pulling up on everything and standing up in her crib.She has started saying "da da" and "bye bye". When Gray gets home from work she starts a constant "da da" babble for about 30min. She really loves her Daddy! She still doesn't have a tooth, although she has been drooling for 5 months. That first tooth is being really stubborn. I believe that drooling is a huge teething myth. Miller is great with food and will eat almost anything we give her. She loves puffs and yoguart melts and has tried pancake and sweet potato fries this month. She's not interested in a sippy cup, but we are working on it.

Both kids have been sick off and on since the day after Christmas. Last week Miller had it bad. 102.6 temp and just feeling horrible. I took her to the doctor and it was croup. 2 days later she is back to her old self. I am so sick of germs, colds, and cold weather!!! Thankfully Gray and I haven't picked up any of the germs and I've been santitizing my house like crazy.
