Mila's First Day of School

Drop off on Mila's first day of daycare was hard of course. A little easier because I know the school and the teachers and it's my second time around, but still heart breaking. That all being said, I think Nevie was even more heart broken than I was, if that is possible. She was so upset about having to leave Mila in the nursery to go to her own class. The teachers and director promised Nevie that they would bring her down to check in on Mila and would take good care of her. That wasn't enough. As I walked down the hall carrying Nevie to her class, she cried and yelled "Mila" all the way. Remember those 1980s movies where the girl breaks up with the boy and the boy stands in the rain screaming her name over and over and over again? That was Nevie. The director commented that it was the moms that were supposed to cry, but Nevie was doing the crying for both of us. I didn't know whether to join Nevie in crying or what. So unexpected, but so sweet! Nevie visited Mila three times that first day and evidently when Mila saw Nevie, her face lit up. LOVE.

I'm ready for my first day of school except I am missing a sock.

Big Sisters Rule and I will keep an eye on her.

Sweetest. Things. Ever.

Rohan's Approval

 

Rohan: I sniffed her out.

Rohan: Meh....she's ok.
Mila: Just Ok??

Rohan: The true test will come when she starts to eat real food.
If she generously drops food like the other one, we can keep her.
Mila: Say what? I gotta share my food?

Rohan: BUT, the minute that baby starts putting bracelets on me...

Or stickers...

Or necklaces, crowns, or sunglasses like the other one does, I'm done.
Daddy: You're a good boy and a trooper buddy.

Curious George

To celebrate Mila's 3 month birthday we visited the Curious George exhibit at the Children's Museum. Unfortunately, she slept through most of it. However, Nevie celebrated for her and even had the chance to take her picture with Curious George himself. It was awesome! We had great fun.

I can fit in a dinosaur foot print.

We started the new year off at the zoo! It was Mila's first time...she slept through most of it.

It's a Wonderful Time of Year....Holidays 2013

Busy but super fun holiday season this year. We enjoyed the parade of lights and Frosty the Snowman. We survived (and had fun in) an ice storm. We also had a great time at Breakfast with Santa and at Nev's school party. We made Christmas cookies and a gingerbread man. Christmas of course was great and Santa came through with the Rapunzel Mermaid that Nevie asked for over and over again. We couldn't be more blessed!

Watching the parade of lights in downtown FTW.

Mila: Again, should we trust her grip?

A lot has changed these past 3 years from actually liking Santa and smiling to a new addition to the family. :)
