Ms. Millie

Millie had her 9 month checkup with Dr. Myers last week, and weighed in at almost 18 lbs. She continues to put smiles on all of our faces on daily basis. She's generally a happy baby (absent teething and a recent ear infection) and always seems to amaze us. Her diet consists mostly of whatever we eat at this point, mostly because none of us have sufficient time to make more than one meal at a time. But we're also not sure she'd have it any other way. She also seems to have mastered crawling pretty quickly, and has become pretty adept at pulling herself on just about any piece of furniture, toy, or person she can get her hands on. She's moved from one thing to another ("cruised") a few times (though in a very limited area), and has even started standing on her own a little bit more - tonight's count was about 5 seconds. And even though it's not going to be tomorrow, the thought of her walking, and even turning one, seems almost impossible.
