My name is Mili

Mili is learning to write her name. Here is the best out of many attempts. She wrote the green one all by herself.

Just thought I would share the work of our little genius.

Sitting, Sitting, Sitting......Most of the Time!

Sitting without support is our new thing. Sadie is trying hard to keep herself in the vertical position while sitting. She still has her issues when anything is out of reach (you will notice in one of the photos).

We got out the trusty Papasan chair cushion. We used this for Mili too. We did it more for Mili's head since she was very top heavy for a long time. With Sadie, we are trying to give the poor people that live under us a relief from the constant foot banging.

Just wanted to share our growing Sadie Beth's sitting pictures.

It's A Bird, It's A Plane, NO It's Super Mili

We rec'd some cute Jammies in a bag of clothes from some friends. I hadn't even shown them to Mili until last night. (Since they are short sleeves and she never sleeps with a blanket I knew it would be battle to tell her she had to wait to wear them until it was warmer in the house at night).

I got them out last night for two reasons....It was going to be warm enough to wear them and mainly because I have not done laundry so they were the only ones clean....smile.

Mili was elated to say the least. She absolutely LOVES them and doesn't want to take them off. We now have a request for some Spiderman "Jamas" as she calls them.

When I put Mili to bed last night she said, "Mommy, I love my new jamas and I wish I had a cape so I could fly high high in the sky." (the shirt actually has velcro on it for a cape so it probably did come with one but we won't tell Mili that). I DO wish these "Jamas" made her faster than a speeding bullet. It takes FOREVER for her to complete something these days.

Just thought I would share the pictures I took of her being "Super Mili" last night.

We've Come A Long Way Baby!

Sadie used to HATE tummy time. She would SCREAM the entire time she was on her tummy and then some afterwards. I have been pushing the issue since her 3 month doctor's appointment (which was really after she was 4 months old) because of the shape of her head. She is starting to enjoy some of her tummy time now but by the time I was finished taking these pictures, she was starting to fuss. By the time I got her bottle ready she was crying. So she still doesn't enjoy it for long periods of time but at least it is better than it was.


Sadie's head has improved but in this picture you can see how flat it still is behind her ear.


Some cute toes and FAT legs. I just want to EAT them!!!!



The Elvis look! (hair and all)


Innocent look (even though everyone in this house knows it is not true)

This is the same way I find Sadie every time she wakes up. She is trying to find someone to pick her up. She thinks if she makes eye contact then she's gotcha.

A wave for everyone back home in Arkansas!!!! I LOVE this face!!!

While I was typing this blog, Sadie just rolled over from back to front for the first time. She has been able to roll from her tummy to her back since 4 months (maybe because she hates her tummy time...smile). She just did it again. Yay!!!! Another milestone down.

Brian is such A LOSER!!!

My wonderful Husband is doing fantastic on our healthy eating program. He has lost a total of 20 lbs in less than 8 weeks. I am so proud of him. He works out daily and I try to plan his meals and snack for the day thru the biggest loser website. It helps me to get the right number of calories for the day and it helps me with recipes for different things we can incorporate into our diet. The whole family is eating this way and we hope that means a healthy lifestyle for both of our girls at a young age.

I just wanted to show off my hot hubby and tell you all what a wonderful job he is doing. It is hard work to get the pounds to drop off and I am very proud of him. He is wearing clothes that he has not been able to wear in a LONG time.

In Mili's words, "GO DADDY GO!" Keep up the GREAT work!!!
WhooHoo, His legs are ROCKIN' these days!
I LOVE YOU!!!

I have posted a lot in the last few days so don't forget to read all the blogs below too.

Love you ALL!!
