Mills is starting to act much more like a big boy than a baby and it's just as fun watching him learn and grow as it was our first time around with Perry. Mills is still full of love and smiles...he really is, I'm not just saying that. He gets so excited when I return from running errands, pick him up from church nursery, etc. I'm always just as happy to see him too. He also loves his "gaga" (aka daddy) and Perry. Perry can be a really sweet big brother or a really mean big brother....and for those mean moments, Mills has decided that hitting Perry is a nice release of frustration. It's kind of amusing right now, however, I'm sure it won't be in another 6 months. On to some positive things...Mills has learned to identify so many body parts. He loves being read to, especially books that practice animal sounds. His favorite things to play with are trucks/cars and blocks. He's working on speech and is usually willing to try to imitate words. He's been cutting 4 teeth (upper and lower canines) for the past month and these have been very painful for him. As a result, he's had his paci more often and seems to be growing more attached. Not what I wanted at this age, but oh well! He's also taking more of an interest in his lovey (probably because he sees big brother with his so much). Mills loves exploring outside and always finds a way to get dirty. One of my favorite things he does right now is say "ooooOOOOoooo" when he sees something appealing. He is so much fun and such a joy!
Good job!
pushing a laundry basket around the house is fun
He loves to drag the plunger around the house...guess that cabinet needs a lock!
Colorful boy, inside and out
Future engineer like Papou? Notice all the drool from those teeth.
A post about Mills wouldn't be complete without some pictures of him doing what he does best--shirt halfway off, hands in his diaper. What is it with this child?
