TEETHING!

She's displaying all the signs...drooling, sticking her hands in her mouth, sticking anything in her mouth, crankiness, only short naps, waking up crying...

At 15 weeks Mila is a little early to start teething but it isn't entirely uncommon at her age.
Mommy put a little frozen corn in this mesh holder to sooth her gums.
We also tried a few frozen teething rings. A wet, chilled washcloth seems to please her the most. Still, it has been a rough couple days and we are open to any advice or tips to help us get through it!

Water Baby

Over the weekend we slathered Mila with sunscreen and brought her to a pool for the first time. She seemed to really like it!


Daddy sacrificed his Cubs hat so Mila could have a little shade.

Ready to leave in her cute little cover-up.

3 Months!

Mila Quinn may not be looking her cutest here, but after taking literally about 150 pictures in five different positions, this is the ONLY one where she didn't turn her head at the last second!

Happy 1st Father's Day to Joel!

Daddy's Girl...

Tiny Bubbles

A wise mother once told us that bubbles were "like baby crack," and after showing them to Mila for the first time, we agree! She's addicted!

Reading Mila's Mind

"I'm almost big enough to use my exersaucer so Mom and Dad let me try it out...

and I thought it was pretty cool...

...but they said it was still a bit too big for me!"


"I mean, what's up with that?!"

Millennium Park

Picnicking at the Monday Night Summer Concert Series in Millennium Park is one of our favorite things about summer in the Chi. Last Monday we decided it was time to introduce Mila to the action! The music sounded great, the crowd was cool, and Mila seemed to enjoy the whole experience as much as we did. We'll be back!

Sitting Pretty
