The Survivor

Although Jody would love to be on CBS's Survivor, the real survivor in our family is Millie Grace. Seriously...she's amazing! Such a trooper.

Today we ran errands all morning. Millie fussed here and there a few times but I would just stick the pacifier back in her mouth. She stayed in the carseat for about 3 hours. When we got home I took her out of the carseat and there was POOP everywhere. POOR THING! Obviously she was trying to tell me and I wouldn't listen.

Luke dumped her out of a chair on the porch today when I wasn't looking. She fussed but got over it quickly and smiled at him when he apologized.

She's on a four hour feeding schedule (except at night). And even when its been over 4 hours she doesn't cry really. Not like Luke did when he was a baby...boy was he demanding!

I wish you all could hold her and see her. She's so cuddly and smiley. She loves to be warm and close.

If you are ordering a baby pray that s/he is like Millie Grace!

Awww. Hey, maybe I should come down to hold her for a little bit. Why not. Hey, Josh will be going to Uganda in June. You want a visitor (with 2 more kids?)=)

That's funny that you look back and think Lukey was demanding because I remember talking to you about what a good baby he was! You certainly had your hands full and he seemed to take that in stride. I'm sure Millie has figured that out as well and is even better because of it. Just think how much easier #5 or #6 could be! LOL!

Oh Stacy--you're right, Luke WAS a good baby. But when he was ready to eat he was ready! He really was a good baby though. Hey, I dreamed you lived down the road from us here in SC...

Man, right about now I AM wishing I lived right down the street from you in South Carolina!!! This snow is for the birds!

That whole poop everywhere thing has happened to me too! Not nice to clean up... Millie sounds like such a joy - I'm happy God has blessed you with such an easy going child! Sky was a lot like that and it was such a blessing because right after his birth was a pretty stressful time for our family.
