Millie is cutting 2 of her bottom molars. She hasn't really been affected by it so that is good news. I tried to get some pictures of the big teeth popping through but it was a bit difficult as you can see in these pictures (in the link). Click here to see more pictures.
My mom handmade this adorable dress for Miss Millie. It's reversible and you can see both sides here. I admire my mom's talent for doing amazing things like this. She had taught me to sew and I have tried to make several things in the past. But I get so frustrated and give up about 90% through the project. Click here to see the pictures! We look forward to wearing this dress for weeks to come! Check out those football buttons on the blue-side. THANKS GRANDMA D!!
Mat came home the other day with these bathtime letters/numbers. You get them wet and stick them to the tub or bathtub walls. Well, Millie found that you can stick them to her web body too. She loves sticking them on her body and yelling "oh" and sometimes sticking her hands in the air.
My little cowgirl, could she get any cuter? As I typically do every Sunday, I lay out all of Millie's clothes for the week. Sometimes in the pictures you will see clothes hanging from hangers in the background. This is done for a purpose. Although Mat is one of the best dad's (ever)...his sense of style is not so much. He was reneged of this duty when he put Millie in a crazy non-matching outfit one day long ago. 
Anyway, so every Sunday I lay out all the clothes for the week so he knows just what outfit she will look the most adorable in. It's certainly not hard with such a cute girl and all of her amazing clothes (that I don't buy)! Well, it got a little cooler this week and so although I laid out dresses and skirts all week, I am having to change that to pants and jeans. All of her adorable summer dresses are being pushed further and further in the back of the closet. This makes me sad. So unless it warms up soon, this will be her last picture of her in a summer dress. Boo hoo!
On Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing some adorable babies! I started off the day with Jay and Melissa Rhoden, some of Mat's dearest friends. Jay and Melissa were willing to go the distance with their little ones (JR and Nora) and let me try a bunch of different things. I will post the album when I am finished with it but for now, I will just give you a tease.
After visiting with them I headed to Jennifer and Andy's house to meet sweet Rachel. She seemed huge compared to the twins! But what a cutie! It was so good to visit with her and hear her birth story. It's truly amazing what women go through to bring a life into this world!
I rushed home so we could take Millie to the Atlanta Zoo. Mat has been wanting to go for awhile and it was the perfect day to do so. I think Millie had a good time. I had to point out several of the animals because she couldn't find them with her little eyes. But she did good following my finger out to the various animals. It was fun to see her running around the Zoo. It was almost closing time so the Zoo was relatively empty. We did buy a pass so we could come back at any time. And we will! It's so close to our house! 
On Saturday we took advantage of the Smithsonian Museum Day. It was a day or free general admission for you and a guest to hundreds of museums and cultural venues nationwide. Millie and I went to the Center for Puppetry Arts. We toured the museum which had a Jim Henson exhibit going on right now so we got to see Kermit, Big Bird, Ernie and Rowlf. It was really really cool (for me) to see all of these old friends. Millie was obsessed with Big Bird and didn't want to move away from him. Other than that, she had fun running around and watching all the other kids. We didn't stay for a performance, maybe next time. No pictures allowed in the museum but we could next to these big feet coming out of the ceiling since it is technically part of the "building".

Millie got bit today. There was a struggle over a toy. Culprit is anonymous as Millie was anonymous when she bit a kid awhile back. Here is her wound. And her cute NJ outfit :-)
She is really starting to pick up "cheeeeeeeeeeese" when I hold up the camera. I will have to get video of this soon!
Wow, she is 14 months. Pretty darn amazing.
We have survived the massive amounts of rain and weren't affected at all ready. Other than the school being closed on Tuesday. So we had to find alternative care for Millie on Tuesday. Luckily one of Mat's bartenders is a fabulous babysitter that we have used before. She came over on Tuesday and watched Jeevan and Millie for the day. It got me thinking that I really need to have a little call list of babysitters on hand in case of snow/ice. I am working on that now.
This past weekend, we rounded up the troops and headed down to Gainesville for the weekend. You may not know but we have a condo in Gainesville and it's so nice knowing that it's there. That we don't have to worry about a hotel room. Keeping milk/food cool. Etc etc. I hadn't been since last year and hadn't been to a game in 2 years. So it was great being back and getting geared up for the game.
On Friday we just hung out around campus. Ate at Burrito Brothers (YUM), Mat and Millie were interviewed by a Knoxville TV station, we toured the James W. "Bill" Heavener Football Complex, and just relaxed all day. 
I can't believe Chloe is old enough to go to school!! She is doing great in the first grade and loves school. Millie and I were lucky enough to be able to walk her to school Tuesday morning. I literally had tears watching her walk into that school building. All those memories came flooding back and I was just so proud of her. What a great kid she is! I am very lucky to have 2 wonderful nieces who are just a ball of fun! Click here to see the pictures.
On Sunday the gang was all together for Church. Courtney was so funny that we almost peed our pants! Every time the organ would begin playing, Courtney (sitting on my mom's lap) would get soooooo excited!!! She would grab the hymnal and flip through all the pages "looking" for the right song. Then she would stand in front of Mama D and sang her little heart out!! She was sooooo cute! All the girls were very well behaved and looked so pretty in their dresses!
After church we took some photos. Millie was cooperative...for a second! To see the pictures, click here.
