this crazy girl

Warning: there are mostly just pictures of Millie in this post.

I am usually the one taking the pictures and therefore really don't have any of me, except the awkward ones where I have Millie on my lap and I'm holding the camera out in front of us. For those who don't have a tugging in their heart of missing this little girl, I apologize. For those who want to see how much she has grown and what she(we) have been up to (Colledge's & Cooks) this one is pretty much for you. 

Now that I am (somewhat) a full time mom my life revolves around this little girl. I love it. She makes me smile and is in that stage where I want to pull my hair out and at the same time laugh and pull her into me and kiss her all over her messy face. 

just some new antics that make me want to giggle and/or cry in frustration:
1. She is loving coloring, but only with markers (the washable kind) she colors on her paper and then when that is full she colors on her hands, legs, face, tables etc.
2. In a desperate attempt to make her excited about getting into her car seat I made an audio CD with a few songs from the movie Tangled (she is obsessed with the movie, especially the horse). Bad move. EVERY time I get into the car with her now I have to put on the CD. To my chagrin I now have every song memorized. 
3. She is loving my underwear/lingerie drawer; it is her perfect height. She dresses up in it at least every other day. I've daringly posted a picture of her dressing up yesterday. 
4. My least favorite one: I usually put her down for her afternoon nap in just her diaper, as it is so hot in her room. A few weeks ago she started taking her diaper off. Yes this includes wet diapers and messy ones. We now duct tape it on.
5. Loves singing her ABC's and counting up to 15. Once a day, at her request, I sit down with her and help her write her ABC's and numbers up to 10. Then she carefully takes her time tracing them and saying each one. 

*Side note: only 15 more days to go until we move into our new home! But who's counting? 

This past July in Utah. She misses her cousins like crazy





Her careful tracing of ABC's and numbers



When I took these off her I think I counted 13.
