Things have been rolling pretty smoothly here in Connecticut. Spring is definitely on the way. I wouldn't say we've had warm weather, but it's been pretty nice. The sun has been shining, the birds are singing every morning, and the air has that fresh crisp smell. It's enough to put a smile on your face in anticipation of longer days and outside fun :).
We're all finally healthy again and hoping that things stay that way. Last week was relatively uneventful. Millie went in for her second DTaP shot on Thursday. It was the easiest vaccination in the history of vaccinations -- at least to our knowledge :). I don't think Millie even knew she got a shot! She was too busy looking around, watching the clock, and smiling at mommy. Her smile never broke and not one tear fell. I wasn't entirely convinced that the nurse actually GAVE her a shot, but the needle prick was there on her little thigh as proof, so... I wasn't going to complain! Millie did well the rest of the night too, though the shot must have made her feel a little icky 'cause she nursed and slept for most of the evening and didn't want to be far from mama. Again, no complaints from me! And for those keeping track, Millie weighed in at 13 lbs. 3 oz. Not too shabby! No height measurements since we were just there for the shot, but we'll get the full work-up for our 6 month appointment in April. I can't believe Miss Millie is already 5 months old! It's cliche and all, but they really do grow up too fast...
Saturday we ran errands and then enjoyed an afternoon with the other mommies, daddies, and babies at Baby Cole's house. Donna and Peter have a beautiful home and we really enjoyed the company of the other parents and seeing all the other babies (minus Jonathan's family this time...). We're hoping that we can get everyone together in April at our house :). Millie had fun playing with her toes (we were assured from the other parents that she is not alone in this obsession) and checking out the other babies. Millie does not like to miss a minute of the party, but eventually she did give in and take a little nap in mommy's arms. All of the babies were so good and so fun to watch. Cole is a jockey in the making as he "rode" his bouncy chair!
Millie and Emerson took some time to try to figure each other out. I think they wanted to eat each other's hands :). And yes, Millie had a wardrobe malfunction and had to change outfits!
It was fun to see all the dad's interacting with the babies too. I think there were several points when all of the dad's had the little ones in their arms. :)

Somehow Emily, Dave and baby Will escaped my camera this time -- so did Carrie and Donna. Hmm. Next time :)!
Today has been a quiet day at home. Millie did some tummy time this morning and rolled over 5 times in a row!! (with some good quality and enjoyable playtime in between) I think maybe the rolling thing has finally clicked :). At least from her tummy to her back. I don't think she's had any desire to go from her back to her tummy yet! She'll roll on to her side though -- especially when she's playing with her toes :)! Millie and daddy went for a stroll this afternoon so Millie could try out her new wheels. They must be pretty cozy 'cause she fell asleep on her walk and is still sleeping in the stroller (inside the house)!
Just two more weeks of work before I get a week off :)!! We're looking forward to having so much of our family here with us during that break! Hopefully spring is really in full swing then!
