It has been so much fun watching our little girl's personality start to peek through. Her last checkup (2 months) she was pretty average for height and weight, but measured a small head. She is doing so well at getting the cutest, chunkiest little leggies. Yum!! Her head still seems small to me. It just makes her seem so dainty though.
This girl is her daddy, through and through. She looks almost identical to his baby pictures. She is super active too. She was standing up super early on. And I feel like she is already getting frustrated with her body's limitations. She just wants to moooove. I've got to get all my cuddles in now because I know once she can crawl, it will be "seeya never." So like her dad. He can't sit still either.
Millie is also sort of a diva. Since infancy, she refuses to be left alone for long. This girl lives for attention. And squawks if she goes too long without it. But she is also so sweet. She is definitely a mamas girl. She will search me out in any room. And I sort of love it. I can get her to give me a toothless grin with just a smile or a scrunch of the nose from me. I call her a little turkey because she is often the cutest and goo-iest when she is nursing or supposed to be getting ready for bed.
Tangent: I have adored breastfeeding. It came to us fairly easy which I know is such a blessing. What a beautiful bonding experience. I honestly love looking down and seeing her at my breast. I also love when she pulls off to give me a grin. See? Turkey. But what a wonderful bonding experience mothers have with being able to feed our babies with our own bodies. I have loved it.
Let's see, what else. She is starting to babble up a storm and loves standing on your lap more than anything. She must have her hands in her mouth (both) at all times and wants to stick everything in there. She is a little drool bucket too. This girl has started to giggle lately. Such a great milestone. We love trying to make our girl laugh. She has started rolling over from her tummy to her back. Not on purpose though since she hates her back. It sucks because she will roll over in the night and wake herself up. And she is so not okay going back to sleep on her back. Silly girl is a tummy sleeper all the way.
She loves being outside. Best way to calm her down. She still gets evening fussies and has only slept through the night a couple of times. Lately she's been waking every few hours in the night. Can't wait for this particular phase to pass.
I LOVE:
-The way her breath smells. Is that weird? I think it smells so deliciously sweet!
-The way her little bum is so high in the air when she sleeps.
-Her chubby thighs.
-Her scowl that seems to be her default face. Just like Austin.
-Her tiny dimple on her left cheek when she smiles
Ok, ok, I'm done. Love you Millie Cakes!
