6 Month Pics

Happy 6 month Anna Kayt!!! We had her six month pictures taken a few weeks ago and our photographer Lindsey Walker did an awesome job! :) This one is my absolute favorites, I could just eat those cheeks up!! :)

6 Months

Happy 1/2 a year old Anna Kayt! I cannot believe that my baby is already half way to her first birthday. She has definitely turned into my little snuggle bug which I think is mostly my doing. I hold her ALL day long and very rarely put her down. :) I know that I shouldn't but sometimes I just can't resist those cheeks!! I could seriously eat them up! She has turned into a much happier baby (especially when she is being held) She loves to laugh at Olivia and play with her whenever Livi will let her :) Olivia has just started wanting 'Sissy' to hold her hand which absolutely melts my heart. Anna Kayt is still taking 3 naps a day and sleeps from about 8:30 at night to around 7ish in the morning. Sometimes she decides that 6:15 is a good wake up time, so occasionally we are up very early! She has LOVED her baby food and I think prefers that over her bottle. She is eating three meals a day and taking about 5 bottles a day. Her least favorite food right now is anything green! I have to sneak it in whenever I can. She definitely prefers her sweets! It probably has something to do wit the fact that about about a month ago I was holding Anna Kayt and Livi's popsicle at the same time. I looked down to see Anna Kayt going to town on the popsicle! Oops! I guess she was introduced to sweets a little too early! Ha

At her 6 month appt. she weighed 15. 9lbs (35th percentile) and was 26 in. long (46th percentile). She is definitely my 'little bit'!!

Oh how I love those sweet cheeks!!

Trick or Treat

The night before Halloween we went to a friends house that had the cutest party! She went all out with a big inflatable jump house, tons and tons of food, and even a hand made pumpkin catapolt! We had such a good time and Olivia lots the bounce house and all of the delicious goodies. The girls were cupcakes and JR and I were dressed up as bakers :)

Having sooo much fun on one of the bounce houses

On Halloween night we went to our local church's Trunk or Treat and met my family there. There were so many people at the church and Olivia loved getting to see some of her friends there. Anna Kayt was a good sport and tagged along with us all night :)

Livi spotted Buzz immediately and so we had to get her picture with him. She was little bit hesitant about getting too close to him :)

My dad doing a little bit of trunk or treating with Livi. She loved getting to walk around with him and getting lots of candy!

After the trunk or treat we went to a friends house for dinner and some trick or treating around the neighborhood. Our friends took a trailer and filled it up with hay so that the kids could ride in a hay ride from house to house while they trick or treated. :) Olivia had a blast to say the least!! This was our first year to trick or treat and she caught on quickly to the idea. :) For some reason I actually got a little bit emotional when I saw her walk up to the first house. Even though she is only two, it just made realize how quickly she is growing up. I still think that I should still be just pushing her around in her stroller for Halloween. :(

Here is Livi and one of her best friends who was dressed up as Captain Hook!

A few of the kids :)

After a few houses of trick or treating Anna Kayt and I decided to go back to the house (where is was warm) and wait on them to finish. We hung out with this sweet little girl who I think is going to be Anna Kayt's best friend!!! They are about 4 months apart and had fun watching each other play :)

Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago we went the "pumpkin mash" as Livi would say , with some friends. We had such a fun time and it turned out to be such a beautiful day for it. We went to the new one in Springville and it was perfect for Livis age!!

They had a little maze to run through, huge slides, hay rides, and face painting. Livi loved going on the hayride and getting to pick out a pumpkin. She did not want a baby one but a BIG one! She tried to pick several up and you could tell that she was using every ounce of strength that she had :)

Sweet little friends! They were so sweet with each other that day and loved holding hands walking through the patch! Chandler and I think that they really act like sisters most of the time! They are either really sweet or they fight like sisters would!

This sweet little girl was amazing the whole time. She just rode happily in the stroller and loved the hayride. By the end she was getting tired though but I was so impressed with what a trooper she was :)

Silly Girls

Livi's first time to get her face painted. She LOVED it! She told me she wanted Auburn so an AU it was. It only took that lady about 15 seconds to do it and Olivia just sat there ready for her paint some more on her face. She did great! We will have to let her do this again sometime soon!

Happy Halloween from the Millingtons!!

Something Different

This year instead of carving a pumpkin we decided to paint it instead (mostly because it was soooo much easier than carving...ha). I found this idea on my new obsession website Pinterest and Olivia loved it! At first we had a cute design going on but after about twenty minutes of painting with a two year old and a husband who is very detail oriented, we ended up with a solid green pumpkin :) Oh well. It sure was fun doing it though! We will have to get several next year and everyone can paint their own!

One excited little girl :)

So proud of her creation!

5 Months

Sadly I am about an entire month late posting this.... so you may be seeing a 6 month posting coming up very soon :) This little girl is growing and growing and growing...especially those cheeks! I could just eat them up!!
She loves to suck her thumb so I have just given up on the paci all together. I use to try and ease her thumb out of her mouth at night and slide the paci in, hoping that she would take to the paci again but I have had no luck. Now she just gets mad and sticks that thumb right back in! Even though I would sooo much rather her suck a paci for her mouths sake, there is something soo sweet about a baby looking up at you with her thumb in her mouth. Melts my heart! We started her on rice at about 5 months and then started squash at 5 1/2 months. She has had squash and green beans so far and loves both of them! She would much rather eat an entire jar of baby food than take a bottle anymore. I think that she is so ready to eat real food though because she will just stare at our plates and try to grab anything off of our plates that she can (not that we let her eat it). I am ready for this one to be able to eat finger foods because I think she will be a much happier camper if she could eat like we do :) She loves to be held....all the time!!! The only places I can set her down and she won't scream at the top of her lungs is in her bumbo and excersaucer. Other than that, you can forget about putting her down unless you want some serious tears. Usually the second you pick her up she will look up at you and coo and laugh. Oh goodness!! She is a great sleeper at night. We try and put the girls down around 8:30 and she usually sleeps til about 7:30 ish and Livi until about 8. She is still taking 3 naps a day, one at 9 (usually 2 hours) one at 1 or 2 (usually 2 -4 hours) and another one around 6 (maybe 45 minutes). At her 5 month check up she was 15 lbs (40%) and 25 1/2 inches (55%). Happy 5 months sweet girl!!
