Mila &Family

Mila is loving spending time with her family. 

Here she is enjoying being fed by Grandpa Crabtree. 

Mila and Grandpa Ebert appear a little shocked by getting their photo taken. 

Mila basks in all the attention and she is having so much fun. 

Her cousin Clara holds her tight and snug.

 

Mila has lots of friends to play with. 

From left to right: Mila (6 mos), Addy Smith (14 mos), and Avery Trujillo (6 mos).

Spending time with family and friends is what this season is all about.

SEIS

HALF A YEAR!

First of all we would like to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS season.. We have had so much fun with little Miss Mila this month. She is obsessed with Christmas lights. She is getting more and more active every day and lately her favorite thing is going swimming at the indoor pool at our local rec center! She smiles at the pups all the time and they are getting more used to her.  She tried bananas mixed with oatmeal and LOVED it (new favorite food?).  She loves other little kids/babies especially the picture of the baby on her diaper boxes she sits and stares at them forever! She is a little smartie pants and likes to experience new things.  We are loving life with our little doll and can't wait to see what the NEW YEAR brings!

LOOK WHO IS FINALLY 5 MONTHS OLD!

 

This month was full of milestones!  This girl doesn't want to slow down and wants us to know she isn't planning on staying a baby for long!  She would still live in the bath tub if we would let her and thinks its so funny when her mom sprays her with the shower head.  Her favorite bath toy is a red plastic cup.  She loves playing games (especially with her Dad), and has become more interactive- she loves it when strangers say hi to her and she makes funny faces at everyone during church.  We have been letting her try out some various baby foods just for fun, she loves apples and doesn't care for the carrots.  She is getting more and more curious about everything and is no longer content just looking- she wants to touch and feel and she attempts to eat everything!  She is still a little chatter box and loves to hear herself talk - especially at 4 in the morning, although she has started to sleep all the way through the night more often!  She is holding her bottle on her own for a few minutes (until her arms get tired), She has gotten a lot better at rolling from front to back- (she had already mastered back to front) She is sitting up unsupported for a few minutes (until her head gets too heavy and she bobbles over) she is extra happy if someone will help support her while she practices standing up!  This Girl is strong!  She is pushing herself up into crawling position (Lucky for us she is stuck in reverse!) but not for long:  this means it is time to start "baby-a-fying" our house! scary!  She is such a happy girl and has a very sweet personality, she really is a perfect fit for our family!

WE ARE SO BLESSED AND WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!

Halloween 2012 (Kentucky Style)

We love having Sunday dinner with our friends.  

This week we gave our dinner a Halloween make-over

It was so much Fun!

These Jello worms made from a recipe I found on Pinterest turned out awesome/gross!

At the beginning of dinner Josie (our friend's little girl) couldn't stand the thought of eating one of these worms and was super grossed out that we would eat them in front of her, but by the end of the dinner she was offering them to all of us and even dropping some in our food & drinks! --oh wait I think Shaun was the one dropping them in the drinks?

I made some Bloody Witches Fingers (Shortbread)

I made some Lizard Eyes (Deviled eggs)

Candace made some awesome veggie dip/cracker spread shaped like a skull

Candace also made bloody band-aids out of graham cracker cookies and frosting/jelly and found purple cauliflower to add to a veggie tray, and a rack of Ribs and sausages. (sorry I didn't get a picture)

Shaun made pork burritos and shaped the rice on top of the beans into a human skull!

Just so happens my Mom is in town this week! We love having her here! and have offered to let her stay permanently to be Mila's live-in-Grammy/Nanny! Here she is holding Mila in her adorable little Halloween outfit that Jeff's mom got for her! Thanks Diane she looks so cute!

Mila in her First Costume:

She is such a Chicken!

Yeah her parent's costumes were a little less original:

Jeff is Jen (also we think this may be a little what Mila looks like when she grows up) - Jen is Jeff

...Yeah we are friends with Goldilocks and the three bears! NBD

we love these people!

The Girls:

Love Mila's Chicken Face!!!

  wow we are ALL so NEAT!

oh, and Shaun isn't in costume he is a real scientist! (he dissected his dinner with his hands)

Love Halloween (and any excuse to play with friends and family) !!!

CUATRO

My LA-LA Girl

Just a couple pictures I have been meaning to post..

(they are actually a couple weeks old now.. but still just as cute)

This GIRL just wants to have FUN

ALL THE TIME

Until she finally gives up and PASSES out.. 

Daddy Duty

Jeff has taken to Daddy duty every weekend like you wouldn't believe,

 and it goes a little something like this:

Mila loves being bounced on the yoga ball

Friday Night Jeff is teaching Mila the art of TV Watching

Good thing we had Grandma Tami send us all the Seasons of the Simpsons!!!

She already has TV ZOMBIE EYES...

Saturday Morning Jeff and Mila went to Keeneland 

(the horse park) with the Hewards for "Brunch"

 and they got to learn about the race horses

They had painted the horse to show it's anatomy

It looks cold, good thing Mila is dressed warm

Sunday Afternoon naptime (even Nixon and keets get in on it!)

Passed out.. Daddy Duty weekends are TOUGH! 

Nice work you two..

Giggly Girls

My two most favorite girls in the whole world. Jen was really making Mila laugh while feeding her some delicious bananas. It was so adorable.
