Au Naturale

1st Halloween!

We took Mila to the childrens costume parade in Roscoe Village...
...our little piglet had a great time and so did we!

Tongue Twister

Mila has been sticking her little tongue out a lot lately. Every week it seems MQ discovers something new she can do, and we can't wait to see what she learns next!

Just Monkeying Around...

A Swinging Good Time

Over the weekend, Mila tried out a public swing for the first time at Lincoln Park Zoo. We thought the picture we took of her was reminiscent of this one taken of Daddy when he was around her age...

Fun In Florida

This week Mila + Mommy took a trip to Florida to visit Grandma Lynn. We all had a great time!

Mila was quite good on the plane, it really helped that we were lucky enough to have an empty middle seat on both flights.

Mila loved floating in the raft with Grandma.

Beautiful Miramar Lake
Mila loves Grandma Lynn (and Grandma Lynn sure loves Mila!)

Perfect Day For A Picnic

Because it was such a warm and sunny autumn day, Daddy left work a little early and we took a picnic down to the museum campus. We had a blast enjoying the weather, the skyline and our sweet baby girl.

Weighing In

At her 6 month appointment this morning, Mila weighed in at just under 17 pounds and measured 26 inches. The doctor told us what we already knew--Mila is doing great.

Big Girl

Mom usually straps Mila into her bouncy seat, but today laid her on it for just a few seconds unstrapped...when she looked at her again, Mila had made it to this sitting position for the first time on her own. Way to work those tummy muscles, Mimi!

Breakfast Smiles

From the happy look on her face you would think she actually likes it! After almost two weeks of trying solid food, Mila still hasn't taken to it. We've tried sweet potatoes, pears, oatmeal, rice cereal, butternut squash, avocado and bananas...and most of it has just come right back out of her mouth. It's so hard not to smile back at her when she blows it out and laughs!
