10 months old today!

So it seems as though crawling and naps go hand in hand.  Ever since Millie started crawling a few weeks ago, she's been hitting the sheets pretty hard for a good, solid nap each day!!  Yay....we're all happy about that!!  10 months brings 2 teeth, standing and walking around the furniture, more talking (mamamamamamamamamama, dadadadadadadadadadada, and "ter" for Walter), occasional animal sounds, clapping, high fives, attachment to Monkey and jumping higher and wilder than ever in her jolly jumper....at times I feel like she should probably be wearing full hockey gear while she's in it!!!  She's becoming so independent, and wants to do everything herself...especially feed herself!!   She keeps getting cuter with age...if that's possible??!

Her onesie says "Cancer...loves to be thoughtful, born romantic."

playing with her buddy, Keely

BFF's

Keely is Millie's cool, older friend!!  Keely is 20 months and Millie totally looks up to her.  She wanted to mimick everything that Keely was doing!!!  Best Friends Forever!!

Millie Goes to the Aquarium!

Millie visited the Vancouver Aquarium at Stanley Park earlier this week with her Grandpa Jay, Grandma Jill, Mom and Dad, and absolutely LOVED it. 

We got there a little bit late, and had less than an hour to tour before they kicked us out, but we made every minute count. Some of Millie's favorites were the beluga whales (and baby beluga - "Its a Girl!" signs were everywhere), sea otters, seals, porpoises, sharks, and a happy sea turtle. We saw so many beautiful fish with different colors, it was amazing.

Am sure we will be back there very frequently in the future!

Chillin...

If Walter could smoke a cigar and sip whisky, he would....

Grandpa Jay and Grandma Jill

We had an awesome week with Grandpa Jay and Grandma Jill, who came in to visit us from Florida and brought some good weather with them too!  So many glasses were raised, we nearly lost count...Mother's Day, Jaimeson's birthday, a toast to Jay for helping out with "home improvement" projects and to Miss Millie for her first bike ride, and being such a good girl while we kept her up and out late on several occasions!  

We had an active week and Millie was a trooper through it all....we checked out the Vancouver Aquarium and saw sharks, sea otters and the newest addition to the Aquarium, the one month old, Baby Beluga.  We took a picturesque bike ride on Mama's/aka Mamamamamamamama's cruiser through Stanley Park (shout out to Miron for loaning us that pair of Macneil cruisers - funnest bikes to ride ever!), and did a beachside trail hike....not to mention many delish dinners to boot.   Milliebeans loved it all!

And even though our Monday afternoon sail was cancelled,  atleast we got out for a fun "pitch-n-putt" game on friday, while the weather was still nice.  (I think Grandpa Jay's putter helped he and I to tie in a game of skins!)

It was such a nice visit...the time just flew by.  Thanks for coming to see us...can't wait to see you again soon!

Sneak attack!

Walter's trying to defend Roxy, his favorite toy, from Millie's sneak attack!!  He loves enticing Millie to just try and take it.....and she willingly goes for it every time!!
