Looks like everything is good with little Millie G! The doc was out of flu shots, so we didn't get that, but she did get three shots and an oral vaccine today. The doc strongly recommended we get the flu shot and the swine flu shot when it comes out, so we've got to check back with them until they get another shipment. The nurse there said they had diagnosed 13 cases of the H1N1 today alone, but that it's pretty mild right now. It makes me wonder if it wouldn't just be better to get it now so we'll all be immune once it gets worse!

Happy Six Month B-Day, Millie G!!
I can't believe it's already been half a year with you! You are growing more and more everyday (stats to be posted after Dr. appt on Wednesday). You now have two bottom teeth and I think more are on the way from the way you chew on your whole hand! You are able to sit up pretty well on your own and can easily roll from your back to your front. You haven't quite figured out how to flip the other way, but you're working on it. You now refuse to sleep on your back! You sleep on your tummy, with your knees up under you and your bottom in the air, and rock forward and back. It takes you about 2 hours to move this way from one end of your crib to the other until your head is banging against the crib bars. I know it takes you two hours because I now have to get up every two hours and scoot you back to the other end of the crib :P You are still just eating solid foods once a day, but we will probably start twice a day soon. You like to play with your toys, but get bored with them easily and would rather play with mommy or daddy sitting near you (oh boy!). Your hair is growing out and you've just about stopped scratching yourself with your nails at night. You have grown so much in just six short months, I cannot even imagine what the next six will bring!
Playing on your gym in the morning next to my computer. That bar must taste GOOD!
Getting set up to eat.
Mommy is too slow, so you'll just have your bib!

Random Updates
Everyone keeps complaining about how little I update my blog... So, here are some updates on what Millie G is up to these days.
She is really starting to take notice of everything around her. She has recently become very interested in what our animals are doing and smiles and gets excited when one of them walks by her. So far, the only one that she's gotten to pet is Porkey (but he lets anything pet him). The dogs are a little shy of her, but they so stop to sniff her now and then.
She is started to really love tummy time. In fact, she rolls over at night and seems to prefer sleeping on her stomach now! It kind of freaks me out, but they say not worry about it once they can flip themselves. She still can't figure out how to flip from her tummy to her back, but she's working on it.
She is starting to be able to sit unsupported during our playtime. She does better when she is distracted by a toy or something and doesn't realize she is sitting by herself sometimes.
She has sprouted a tooth on the bottom! She still seems to be teething though and is still fussy with the bottle and still drools like crazy!
She is practicing with different noises she can make. Last week, she was making this really funny growling noise that sounded like a zombie. She would lay in her crib and just growl louder and louder. When I went in to check on her, she would just smile at me like she was saying "What? I'm fine!". This week, the growl has turned into a whine/coo type thing. Sort of like Gizmo from the Gremlins. Again, she lays in her crib and just makes the noises louder and louder, giggling all the while.
She still loves to be pulled up onto her feet, but she's also working on crawling. When she's on her tummy, she puts her head down and sort of "swims" her legs up under her. She doesn't keep them there, but she's starting to get the idea. Now she just needs to realize that she can have her legs and arms up at the same time and she's off!!
I will try to be better at updating this blog now that she is doing more and more, but I hope that fills ya'll in so far!!
