Cute things about Mil and Lil you can't know from photos:

When we call Milla almost anything like "silly" or "crazy" or "monkey", she responds by saying, "I'm not ......, I'm Milla May!"

Lil eats a ton, and has learned to open the frig... her favorite thing is yogurt.

Milla is very proud of being a big girl. She is mostly potty trained now, and has started to have very definite opinions about what to wear, what to put in her hair, and what she wants (or more so, doesn't want) to eat... read more

I haven't posted this, and haven't told too many people, but I finally decided it was time... WE ARE PREGNANT AGAIN!! I know we'll get the question: "Were you trying?" Well, we obviously weren't trying hard enough NOT to have another baby! :-) I guess we could have waited a little longer and given ourselves a bit more breathing room, but as I like to joke, I guess there are just too many little souls out there dying to be our kids! Those little suckers don't let a chance go by! The firs... read more

So Milla has grown really fond of stories. Sure, we've ready books since she was a baby, but now she's going through a phase of wanting me to tell her stories as she's going to sleep.

Oh my goodness! At what age does a child stop getting cuter? If I thought my girls were adorable last month, I need to start coming up with new words to describe them.

2008 is off to a flying start. Lil officially started walking all over the house a couple of days before her 11 month birthday. She got into lots of stuff before and now it's gonna get so much worse! She's clever, that one. She so wants to get to things Mommy or Daddy take away from her, and reach to places she hasn't explored yet. She's ambitious, inventive, and a problem solver. Can't reach on top of that desk? Why, Lil will just get anything sizable, put it in front of the desk and ... read more
