New hat

Found this hat in the sales. Should keep M's ears warm in the coming months and who can resist a pom pom?

Millie's 1st Christmas

Millie had a great day, lots of lovely presents and more outfit changes than an award show host. Here she is fascinated by her wrist and ankle bugs - thanks Prema!



After presents we went for a walk on the beach, a tradition in the UK. Not so much a tradition in the US - on account of the temperature perhaps. Needless to say we weren't out for very long.

The one where we put antlers on Millie but she doesn't seem to mind

So we couldn't resist turning Millie in to reindeer baby before a little rice cereal this morning. Looks like she enjoyed it.



She even blogged about it to her friends afterwards on her new baby laptop.

Give Peas a Chance

As noted by Heather, a dear reader, I have been a little remiss on the postings of late. Partly due to some unsightly eczema on our young star and partly due to flat batteries, both literal and figurative.

But we're back!

Millie just turned 6 months old - I know, can you believe it?! This means of course "solid" food! We started her off tonight with some peas and you can see here the results. She's stuck with peas for at least the next few days as we introduce foods gradually to watch for allergic reactions. Perhaps she'll grow to love them.

Feeling better now Little Red Riding Hood?

After a big scare on Monday night and a trip to the ER with Millie she is feeling much better today as you can see from the big smile below. We went out for a stroll on Michigan for some much needed fresh air and to see the Christmas lights.

Thanksgiving

This lovely sleepy babe is Millie's cousin Rebecca. The two finally met in New Hampshire and in the absence of any recorded conversation between the two (there was some tentative hand reaching and Millie was staring quite intently) we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they got on like a house on fire.



Presenting Arctic Millie! It was hard to imagine it being cold enough or her being big enough to wear this 6-9 month outfit when Uncle Jamie and Auntie Kat gave it to her in August, but it is cold and she is big.
