Welcome to Jail

Millie's new play yard came in this weekend, but we like to call it her little jail.  She happily plays with her toys and likes to cruise around the walls.  Of course, she gets bored with it after awhile, but at least we have a place to put her and know she's safe if we have to do other things.

this pic is kind of sad though...our little jailbird

 finally...buddy is safe; Mills goes after him pretty aggressively now that she's mobile

 she HAS to have her hand up like this every time she's in the car now...

 when eating, she likes to throw her hands up and lean back inbetween bites

Sunday, I had to work all day (I'm doing contract work for my old employer...hurry up April 15th!), so John had Millie all day.  He took her back to the Crystal Bridges museum, but this time they stayed outdoors and walked some trails.  He said it was really lovely (and hot...almost 90 degrees!); I can't wait to go walk the trails myself.  Millie is so funny with this hat and sunglasses business...she never tries to touch or take them off.  I'm sure that will change at some point though.

It seems our happy girl is back to herself; she is sleeping better and seems to be getting used to all the new tricks she can do.  She can get around so well now; it has been fun to watch her get more confidant and courageous in her attempts to cruise around and stand on her own.  She does get mad if she falls too many times in a row though...can't really blame her, it looks frustrating. ;)
