Life

Here is a little snapshot of things that go on during the day at the Millington household. We are attempting to get out all of our baby things for AK's arrival and Olivia has been having fun with all of these new toys!! FYI, the outfit that she has on was what she picked out to wear. Her favorite Elmo shirt and her boots. She has become VERY opinionated about what she wears. We change clothes many many times a day!! Oh no!

What I found when I walked back into the kitchen. Can't believe she actually tall enough to reach up on the counter! I guess I am going to have to watch what I put up there!

She loves loves loves her Elmo bubble bath!

Tired Girl!

This is one tired girl!! Way to tired to finish her french fry! Life must be busy being a one year old :)

SG's Birthday Party

This weekend we went to one of Olivia's friends birthday party. The party was adorable and SG's mommy made all of the super cute decorations! SG sure did love her cake and opening all of her presents. :) They even had a fun little house that the kids could play in and during the party they all got to color on it! You may be seeing this again at Olivia's party in a few short months! What a great idea and the kids loved it!!

Melinda even made the board by ruffling streamers with her sewing machine!

Happy Birthday SG!!

35 Weeks

I have not been a very good blogger these last few months, and with Anna Kayt's big day coming up in a few shorts weeks I don't see it getting much better, but I am really going to try :) I have not had much time to blog about our new little one so I thought today I would do a pregnancy update! I stole this from a friend of mine that has such a cute blog so I thought I would share some updates this way :)

How far along? 35 weeks

Baby's size? According to the internet, she should be about 18 inches long and 5 1.4 lbs.

Maternity clothes? This second pregnancy put me in maternity clothes much faster! I have been in them since about 12 weeks :)

Sleep? I usually only get up about 1 -2 times a night. I am sleeping much better with this pregnancy so far. However, having the stomach bug twice in the last few months has made for a few rough nights :(

Foods I am loving? Anything sweet. I think that most days, I eat more sugar that actual food! I also love going to eat at meat and 3 restaurants and any kind of sandwich and chips.

Foods I am hating? Mexican, corn, pizza, and salad

Best moment this week? Feeling her move, hiccups, having Olivia kiss my stomach and point to my stomach and call her Sissy.

Other random thoughts? We are still working on getting Olivia's big girl room together so that eventually Anna Kayt will move into the nursery and Olivia will go to her new room. It is so much harder to get things done when you have an almost 2 year old running around :) Next week I plan on getting all the bottles out, washing clothes, and getting some dinners made and frozen for when AK gets here.

Movement? A lot! I feel like Anna Kayt kicks a lot harder that Olivia ever did. I don't think that AK likes it when I hold Livi because she will kick me right where Olivia is and it hurts so bad :) She is an active little thing.

Symptoms? Heavy heavy stomach and very tired! Lots of stretch marks and varicose veins as well....boooo. Oh well, hopefully all this will get better once she gets here.

Gender? Its a girl! Anna Kaytlin

Milestones: I think that for the most part she is fully developed, but she is just putting on weight now, getting ready for her Birthday :)

Growing up way to fast!!

It has been way too long since I have blogged about little Miss Olivia!! I am not even sure where to being. She is 19 months old and has turned into her own little person. She is very loving (always wants to hug her friends), very dramatic (will burst into tears even if she just trips and doesn't fall down), and sometimes tends to be very short tempered as well. I think that she has a little bit of the firey red headedness in her. Uh oh :) She is my little best friend and I just can't believe that I am about to have to of these little ones! But more on that later!

Her favorite toy still seems to be Elmo.....

(Elmo with a grape shoved in his mouth..... this is how I found Elmo when I walked back into the den one day)

She loves her baby dolls and always wants to make pallets for them on the floor for them to go night night. She likes to feed them her bottle and any snack that she is eating. Hints, the picture of Elmo. :) She is still my tall skinny girl. She is off the charts for height (people always ask me if she is about 2 1/2. years old.) I think she weighs about 23 lbs, so we have some catching up to do in that department. Olivia loves to eat, but only what she wants to eat. She loves raisins, ketchup, Chick fil a, chips, carrots, vegetable soup, COOKIES, suck suck (suckers), oatmeal, Life cereal, peanut butter, oranges, grapes, and pretty much anything else that has some kind of sweet flavor. :) We will have to work on this later, especially since daddy is a dentist....haha.

She is saying many many many things, most of which I can't figure out. :) She says everything from Elmo, Daddy, Mommy, Sissy (anna kayt), happy, NO, jewry (jewelry), cheese (camera), chardey (dog), baby, peez (please), shuck (stuck), uh oh, tutu (thank you) etc....... She has just started to put two words together at a time. She loves to put on chapstick, pretend to blow her nose, wink (but with two eyes), pretend to floss her teeth with dental floss, throw anything away, color on anything (including books, the couch, and her new mattress...uhhh), flush the toilet, play in my jewelry box, and dance. I have to say that most of these new talents are compliments of my mom :) She loves to teach her new things! It is fun coming home from work and seeing what Livi's new skills are :)

Sorry that I don't have many new pics of Olivia but here are a few pics of Olivia and her new friend Riley :)

So sweet! They loved to give lots of hugs and kisses :)

haha

Attempting to share a book :)

One of my favorite Christmas presents!

My new blog book!!! I am so happy with how it turned out and so glad that I did it. It was so easy and such a great way to keep up with all of the different things that happend over the past year. Hopefully, if I can keep up with blogging (I haven't been to great about it here lately) then I plan on making one each year, kind of like a little scrap book for Olivia and Anna Kayt. :) Hopefully, with two little ones running around I will still be able to find the time :)

The Millington's Big Adventure!

Last week JR and I headed out to Glendale, AZ for the big AU National Championship game! We had so much fun and enjoyed every minute of it! We started our trip out by going to the All In party right by the stadium the night before the game.

The next morning we headed to the stadium ready to watch the tigers play :)

However, we did not have tickets :( This is me waiting to buy tickets where all of the scalpers were. The tickets started out at about 2,500 a piece!!!!

And this is me still waiting!! Please notice that it is dark outside now

Here are out sad faces that tickets never went below about 1,900.00 a piece!! So luckily for us, we met up with some fun friends and watched the game on the jumbo tron outside the stadium. We watched it with about 10,000 other people. It was amazing to me how many people had come out to Glendale to support the tigers.

When Auburn won! 22-19 War Eagle!

We were supposed to be heading home on Tuesday and I was ready to see our little girl. But apparently that was not going to happen with the big snow storm in Atlanta. Our flights got canceled from Las Vegas to Atl. and the soonest they could fly us home was on Thurs. We decided to make lemonade out of lemons and got to spend and extra day and half walking around Las Vegas. Neither of us had ever been to Las Vegas before so we really enjoyed getting to see all the huge hotels and eating at the amazing restaurants. I have never seen such beautiful hotels with so much details. We were able to visit most of the hotels on the strip, see the fountain show at the Bellagio, do a little gambling at the slot machines (a whole $8 dollars ..haha), see a Cirque Du Soleil, and eat at several delicious restaurants. We really enjoyed this trip and it was a great opportunity for us to spend some quality time together before our second little one arrives. :)

One of my favorite hotels was the Venetian. It truly feels like you are outside when you are walking through it. It had nice shops, restaurants, and even a gondola ride through the hotel.

Funny pic.....This guy was stealing money out of the fountain (fully dressed, shoes and all) and when we saw him he busted a sprint out of there!! You have to really want to spend some money at the slot machines to get in freezing cold water for a few quarters!!

Even saw a few celebrities! This is Vienna from the Bachelor. Also saw Ann Curry at the AU, Charles Barkley, and some pro football player that I don't know his name?? JR pointed him out :)

Yummy
