Mommy always said to moisturize!

Mila loves to mimic everything I do these days, which can be both fun and dangerous!  I really have to be aware of what I do and realize these little eyes are watching my every movement!  Last week while I was blow drying my hair she snuck into the cabinet and got out the lotion.  This is what I discovered in a few short minutes:

Random January Pics

I know that I have been very negligent this past month so I have a few pictures to share!  Nothing better than uploading tons of pics while the snow is falling, and falling, and falling!

TOUCHDOWN!

She thought it was funny that she fit in her baby's stroller...fun for her, bad for us!

Our little artist!  She loves painting!

Trying on mommy's stocking hat

And her boots.  She looks very angry here but she was having a ball walking around (with daddy's help)

And we can't forget our fur babies!  All snuggled up!

I Love to Learn!

This past week we came across the box of "older" paperback books my sister gave to me that her boys no longer had use for.  Inside the box I found a dryerase book and thought maybe Mila would have fun coloring.  Needless to say, she LOVES it!  I sat with her on my lap showing her all the fun things inside the book and later that afternoon she grabbed the book and pulled out her chair at the kitchen table.  Of course this has to be supervised because I don't want marker on the walls, couch, doors.....you get the point.  It has been great to use for entertainment while I cook dinner!

I'm ready for a kiss!

It's Monday...

Jeremy had to work on second shift tonight so Mila and I were on our own for dinner.  This happened in the very short amount of time it took me to rinse my plate and put it in the dishwasher.  I guess she didn't like her dinner without Daddy!

Mila's First Hair Cut!

Mila was sporting a really BAD mullet, with all her length going to the back and still notta in front so I decided it was time for a cut.  I felt pretty confident about doing it myself and didn't do half bad but we weren't able to get any pics because Jeremy was busy entertaining her to keep her in her chair.  We tried to put her in the booster but the back of the chair came up too high.  I think next time I will leave it to my stylist!

For a before shot...you can see the previous posts with the "wings"

And a few after...

And it wouldn't be complete without the ornery CHEESE face...

Friends and Family and Other Random Things

Get ready...it's a loooong one!

Mila loves it when people come over for visits!  A few weeks ago my second oldest sister came over with her family for a dinner and visit.  Mila loves hanging out with all her cousins and they love to carry her all over the place!

Morgan and Mila

"Uncle Rudy" and his girlfriend Andrea came up from Monticello for a visit two Saturday's ago.  Mila misses Uncle Rudy so much and just lights up when he walks in the door!  We used to see him every Thursday when we lived in Maroa...on pizza night!  He's the fun guy that "flys" her all around the house!

Rudy Andrea & Mila

Jeremy's cousin Brandon was also in town for the holiday weekend from RI.  This was Mila's first time meeting Brandon and he thought he was pretty funny once she warmed up to him.  Unfortunatly, I forgot to get out the camera!

When we haven't had visitors, we've been busy doing art projects.  Mila LOVES to finger paint and she's created a few more masterpieces!  We also made her some of the classic flour, water, salt playdough and laughed the first time she licked it!  YUCK!  She also tries to feed it to the dog to see if he will eat it (and he won't either!).  I really hope she loves creating as much as I do!

Our dog has this "habit" of laying on people's tummy if they lay on the floor.  Mila thinks it is hilarious and will purposly lay down in front of him inviting him to lay on her.  Once he does she just pats his head and giggles.

And lastly, Mila's shoe obsession has grown.  She now is trying to walk around in Jeremy's shoes.  She of course doesn't want any help and falls all over the place but she thinks it's fun!

(sorry it's so grainy...the flash was off)

WHEW!  I need to keep up with posting!



Who doesn't love to...

sit in a drawer!  Yes, I allowed our daughter to do this on MANY occasions.  So many times, in fact, that the drawer is now broken.  But ya know what...she had fun!  That's all that really matters some days!  Drawer rails can be replaced.
