Happy Halloween

Amelia and I got back from Indiana on October 21st
and have been recovering from jet lag and unpacking
all of the new clothes and toys we were given and
bought while there. We had a fantastic time visiting
with Aunt Andrea, Grandpa Bully, and Nana. They all
adored her, of course, and got to see her at such a
great age. While we were there she learned some new
tricks and can now semi-crawl and pull herself up
with a little support. She is sitting up without any
support at all on her own which is great, as I have
my lap back now! I can sit her on the floor to play
instead of holding her all the time and she can
explore lots of new things. She loves to bang on a
pot with a wooden spoon and take the lid off and then
put it back on again, in addition to the myriad of
new toys she has to play with.
While we were in the US, she also got another tooth and yet another is on its way, peeking out. That brings the total up to EIGHT! I bought some baby toothpaste today so we can start brushing those toothy pegs tomorrow. I'm sure she'll just try to eat the toothbrush but we've got to start somewhere! In addition to new teeth, she has said her first word. On Monday, as I was doing the dishes and had Amelia in a high chair behind me, I heard 'ma ma' and turned around to see her smiling at me. I melted right there into the floor, I tell you, it was so sweet! I know she doesn't know that 'ma ma' is ME, but it sure feels nice to hear her say it. Now we're working on 'da da' so Paul doesn't feel left out, and also 'hi'. I can't believe she's starting to talk and pretty soon walk. It's going by so quickly...
There are LOTS of new pictures and video clips in the 'Millie' and 'Family' sections so be sure to check those out too. Happy Halloween!
