Summer day

I found my camera cable! Have some catching up to do.

Here's a few snaps from a trip down to Grant Park on a summer day - seems a long way off now. Walking down Walton with Daddy...


Touching the "bean"...


Up to the ankles...

A picture is worth a thousand words

Well pictures are great, but sadly I have lost the cable to download photos from my camera, so until I find it - or crack and buy another one - we're on photo hiatus. Although there is some truth in the old adage (who doesn't enjoy a photo?) Matt and I have been very much enjoying Millie's new ability to speak. Yes, say actual words. Her repertoire includes (but is not limited to!) shoe, eyes, o's, wow, oh no, chair, go, egg, door and assorted animal noises.

Of course mama and dada are still our favorite ones to hear.

Can you say bears?

Millie is messy-faced and chatting with Daddy.

15 months!

Today Millie is 15 months old, or a year and a quarter in real money. Here she is causing mayhem at Borders in a very fetching outfit from Uncle Jamie and Auntie Kat.

Navy Pier Fountain

At Navy Pier today we noticed a big fountain. Off came Millie's socks and shoes and in she went.

Damp...


Wet...


Soaked...



Shame we only found this at the end of the summer, she loved it!

Slide show

We're very grateful to have a park down the road for Millie to let off some steam. One of her favourite things is the slide and she can even go down by herself now.

Kidding about

Lots to catch up on since we last posted. We walked up to Lincoln Park Zoo and met some goats. Millie wasn't too sure and didn't want to touch them. Sensible girl.
