First Shots




Mila had her 1st shots on February 7th, 2011! It was probably one of the most devastating days of my life! She screamed in pain/horror! As soon as that nurse was done, I grabbed her and couldn't let go. Luckily, by the time we got home, she had forgotten all about it and was all smiles!
On a good note, she is healthy! Her stats are 9 lbs and 8 oz (10%-yep, she's small) and 22 inches long (30%).

Mila is smiling and "talking" to herself now! When she is awake, she has the biggest and brightest eyes!

Adventures in Babysitting!

Mila went to Miss Christy for the 2nd time on February 15th, 2011. The first time was a week ago and then we had the "blizzard" so she couldn't go for a week.

Christy said she did amazing. Christy's husband Darrel played with her for a long time the other day and they said she was smiling so big and talking a bunch!

She's had a little tummy ache, but I think it's because the doctor told us to put an extra scoop of formula in her bottle. I think it is too rich for her tiny belly, so I've decided that we're not doing that any more.

I wish I could be with her all of the time, but that's not possible, right now. Maybe soon...that story might come later! Anyway, I love when she's sleeping and I wake her up. She so wide eyed and she starts looking around. She smiles at first, then gets a pouty lip and then smile again!! When she's in the car and I can see her in the mirror looking around and smiling. It's definitely a great start to my morning!

I hope to post more pictures soon...and back date some old pictures!

When all else fails...

SMILE because someone loves you!

There is nothing better than waking up to an innocent 2 month old sucking on her fingers and smiling at you like you are the only person in the world that matters.

How can you not love this face?

SMILE, I love you!

What?


I have a mean right hook, people!

SNOW DAY!!!

More like a snow week! I made snow ice cream for my first time...EVER! How and why did I not know about this before now?!?!

Easy recipe

8 cups of snow
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (no...you should not use low fat!)
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavor

My only advice...do not use yellow snow...it doesn't taste the same. ;-)



0-1 Month

I took so many pictures from Mila's birth date to her first month, so I had to pick out the ones I liked the most.

















Did I post too many??? Nah...!
