Festive Photos (2 weeks late)


Tis the season for jolly photo shoots!
We took Mila to go visit Santa, which turned out to be a major shit show. 
Mila took one look at Santa and would. not. have. it. 

I have yet to scan the actual picture (as our printer/scanner is broken) but this gives you a feel.


Aside from the tears and pouts, she seems to love all of the fun and sparkles that go with the holiday season. Here she is checking out the ornaments.


As a new tradition, we did a photo shoot (and brunch) with our parent group. It is really crazy to see how much they have all changed in a year!

Mila was in a great mood but was very sad when one of the toddlers (Jonah) started crying.


When you have 7 toddlers, this is probably the best picture possible. 

Blurry, but Mila is putting her arm around Ivy 


giving hugs

Having adorably round and rosy cheeks is serious business.

Having so much fun

She can identify her eyes, nose, eyebrows, hair, cheeks, fingers, hands, feet, legs, toes, teeth, butt, and vagina


Mila walks but does so cautiously and slowly.

Mila crawls like Quasimoto.

She unfastens her diaper and likes to wipe herself.

She also enjoys cleaning surfaces with a napkin, cloth, or wipe.

She has nearly all of her bottom teeth except the furthest molars.

Mila LOVES:
 giving kisses
hugging
 holding her babies
 putting on makeup
 jewelry
signing
music
dancing

her morning toast

anything with sugar in it

KITTIES
being with her mama
looking out the window
touching mama's hair
touching daddy's beard
being tickled
taking baths with as many bubbles as possible
bubbles in general
touching eyeballs

Mila does NOT like:
wearing socks
the taste of chalk
not being held when she would like to be held
weening
