Mila in September

This was from a moment I will always treasure...

Austin and I wanted to watch a Muppet movie because, well, why wouldn't we??

Anyway, I sat on the other side of Mila and we each had our own bowl of popcorn as we snuggled and watched the movie. Her bowl is so teeny.

It was just a real family moment and I loved every second of it.

(she fell asleep about 30 minutes in)

The many faces of our silly girl...

She loves taking over the dog beds and surveying the scene. 

It doesn't matter if the dogs are in them or not.

 Here she is, wearing hair bow.

Austin was relaxing on the couch and Mila was signing desperately that she wanted to get up there with him. 

Once she did, she immediately climbed onto him, sat on his face, and then proceeded to explore his belly button.

She has no respect for her daddy.

In early September, we headed up to Shriner's Hospital in Spokane for a one year review of Mila's hip to make sure it had settled/developed properly.

We drove up, had some not-so-great Indian food, got some x-rays, and waited in the waiting room for approximately 30 seconds...

then we waited in the exam room for about 15 minutes...

then they came in and said that her hips were perfect, with absolutely NO SIGN of hip dysplasia! 

they said it might be a good idea to check again when she is three, but there is no indication or suspicion that anything would develop!

Very good news indeed!!
