Mommy Group

We had another Mommie GTG over the weekend. Here is a look back over the past year and a half. Oh how our group has grown!

Ball Pit

The Navarro's watch Millie for us last weekend. They had a great time as you can see!

Bubbles

Transition

The second night she cried for less than 5 mins.

The third night there were no tears at all!

So happy this transition has been nice and smooth. So far no problems at all! In the mornings, we hear Millie get out of bed and start playing. We try to get downstairs before she starts crying out to make sure she knows that we aren't going to leave her in there forever. So far, it's working out great! We are very lucky to have a good little girl.

Big Girl Bed

We finally got the bed rail in. Tonight we gave it a try. Millie cried out for less than 10 mins before she passed out. Millie is such a good sleeper that we are hoping this won't be too big of a transition for her. I have heard that sometimes it takes up to two weeks. We are hoping it won't take her that long.

She seems pretty comfy in this picture!

Thursday Night

Spending time with V

The Damico family is very generous. Well generous isn't really the word because they are something more. But in the end, they are great great friends. Every week Jackie sends out and email with all of her meals listed for the week. She invites friends and families over to eat dinner and spend some time. It's a great opportunity for Vince and Millie to get together and for some mommy time too. Mat and I have been over several times. Millie and I usually go over when Mat is working in the evenings. Anyway, last night was no exception as the kids had so much fun! Enjoy the videos!

Tubes are In!

Everyone was up early this morning and Millie was her happy self. She chatted all the way up to the dr's office. She was still in PJ's when we got there and so were all the other kids there. She jumped right in to play with all the other kids and found a friend in Charlie. Charlie was there getting tubes for the 3rd time. Hopefully that won't be the same story for Millie!

Anyway, they took us back and did all the vitals. Lots of nurses and the anesthesiologist came in and spoke to us. Mat got all dressed in his gown and took her back. He waited until she was under and then left. We moved over to waiting area for seriously under 10 mins. The Dr came out and told us everything went great. Another nurse came for us and took us to the recovery room where Millie was already awake and asking for her Daddy.

She was very happy and a little off balance but all and all, everything went well! We don't give her a bath tonight but as of tomorrow, everything is back to normal. Can't wait to see if these tubes help her with her little ears. We are hopeful!

These videos were all taking before surgery in the waiting room. To see the rest of the pictures, click here.

Surgery is set

Millie will be getting her tubes Monday morning. No food/drink after midnight. I think it might be a long morning. When Mil is hungry, she is HUNGRY! So we will see. But I am sure she is going to do great. Jeevan had the same surgery and was back to daycare by the afternoon. I have no doubt that Mil will do great! Keep you posted!

Nightime

I know this is hard to see but hang in there...It's really funny. Millie gets in some awkward positions but this is classic! Is she ready for the big girl bed?! We think so! Mom and Dad ordered her a bed rail which we are waiting for it to come in. Once that gets in, we are moving her over! I think she will do great!

Introducing...

Baby Boy Tainow (aka T2)

New gift

Millie's Hanukkah gift arrived from Jon and Terry! It's a cute little stool with her name on it. The letters of her name come out like a puzzle. She is enjoying it...sitting on it, standing on it, knocking it over, using it as a catapult!

Bathtime

Just some bathtime fun...

Baba Booey

Just some fun at dinner...

Terrorizing the dog

She looooves doing this...

Breakfast fun

We always eat breakfast/lunch/dinner at the table when we are together. Something we always did in the Davis house. As you can see, we always have a good time. You can't hear the wonderful piano solo in the background from The Doors "Riders on the storm". But I am sure you can imagine it!

Wild Hair

Just an update on Millie's ears. After conferring with our personal family doctor (Emily), we are going ahead with the tubes for Millie. Surgery is on Monday and we are very excited! But onto the funny stuff, I think this video is pretty self explanatory!

When Vince came to play

On Saturday Vince's mommy had a wedding shower to go to. So we got to watch Vince for the afternoon. The kids had alot of fun running around and discovering exactly what should be child-proofed further!

Morning sick time

Here is Millie this morning. Here she is looking kinda sick but we are hoping it's just another ear infection. Mat went to the doctor and has strep. Millie and I are hoping not to get it. However strep might explain why I have been so sick for so long (since we got back from New Orleans). Her pediatrician took a snow day so we can't be sure. My doctor is supposed to call a prescription in for me to make sure I don't get it either.

Snow

It snowed here and people freaked. Here was our light dusting.

Playtime with Vince

New table and chairs

Are the weapons? Maybe. Are the dangerous? Could be. But nah, they are just pint sized table and chairs. Another Christmas gift from Mom and Dad. She really loves them so far!

Millie gets arty

Mama and Papa D got this chalkboard/easel for Christmas. Here is Millie enjoying it for the first time!

It's Cold!

Gloves

airplane ride

Here are some videos of us flying to and from Columbus this weekend. Millie might be better behaved with just one of us flying with her. The best was the quote that a lady told Mat while we were waiting for our luggage in Columbus. It went like this..."She is really cute...(pause)...and Loud". So true!
