Playing at the Park

We enjoyed some nice Spring weather with some friends at the park. Millie Kate loves to swing, which is good because the only things she can really do at the park since she's not walking yet. It's always fun when we can get together with MK's little friends and be outside!

Wade's Choo Choo Party

It's so hard to believe that Wade is 2 already! It has gone by so fast! Little Wade is fascinated with trains these days, so Kriya and Beau threw him the perfect party complete with his own train. He was in aw by it and I think got off long enough to have some cake and was right back on! I loved watching the joy in his face while he rode that train. It was priceless! Millie Kate really enjoyed it also and found it to be the perfect opportunity to wave to all her adoring fans. It was pretty cute. She also had fun in the ball pit and the swing that were in the back yard. What a fun day! Happy Birthday, Wade, we love you! :)

Conductor Beau

11 months!

Wow, this one was hard for me! Not just because she would not sit still and kept squirming out of her seat, but because I knew it was the second to last one. Millie Kate has changed more in the last month I feel like then the past 10 months combined. She is trying to talk and says "dada", "da" for dog, and "du" for duck. She has finally started doing some of the signs I've been showing her for the last 7 months or so. She'll sign "milk", "all done", and "more". I'm so excited that is starting to pay off!! We're still working on "please" and "thank you". She is still waving to everyone and everything. She waves when we leave a room, go upstairs, get out of the car, or even when she hears the front door open and close. She loves food and will eat anything you put in front of her. Some of her favorites are peas, bananas, blueberries, and broccoli rice casserole! She is really noticing Presley now and wants to hug him and give him kisses all the time. She thinks balloons are the best toy ever, that is why you see one in almost every picture! She has discovered that she can climb the stairs and is really keeping us busy. We are having so much fun with her right now, everything she does makes us smile and laugh. What joy she brings to our lives!

this is how she spend most of the photo session

time for a nap

Mini petting zoo

The Learning Express had the Little Red Barn petting zoo at their store and I thought it would be fun to take Millie Kate up there to see the animals since she is starting to recognize some of them. We met Tiffanie and Taylor up there and had fun walking around on such a pretty day. The lambs were the cutest, but they kind of scared MK when they started baa'ing and jumping around!

Spaghetti

Millie Kate had spaghetti for the first time and she really seemed to like it. I'm not sure how much of it actually went into her mouth because she had it all over her including her feet!! We took her straight from her high chair, stripped her down, and put her in the bath!!!

Madelyn's party

Sweet Madelyn had her 1st birthday on such a beautiful spring day! She looked so precious in her special birthday dress and was so cute when she stuck her foot in her smash cake. It was such a nice party and we enjoyed celebrating with her and all her little friends!!

A nice warm day!

The weather was so beautiful we decided to have our play date at the park. Millie Kate loved swinging with Parker and Jack and had her first picnic. After the park we went by the Moore's and had a play date with Sarah and Sally. They were in town from Birmingham. It was fun seeing how much Sally has changed in the last few months. She is such a beautiful baby. We ended the day playing outside on the deck with Daddy. Hopefully the warm weather is here to stay!
