Matt's Graduation Card

For Matt's graduation card, I made this onesie that reads "My Dad" on the front and "Rocks" on the back for Millie to wear and then took some fun photos of her to put on the front and inside of the card. I love all the vibrant colors! Matt said it was his favorite card ever!

By the way, at 9 weeks old, Millie weighed 10lbs, 4oz and is 24" long. Today we are celebrating 10 weeks with our little one.

Dr. Dad

After practically 6 years in the making, Matt graduated from dental school at MUSC today! He is officially a dentist. It was a sunny, super-spectacular day. Matt was the recipient of the Academy of General Dentistry's 2008 Senior Student Dental Award, recognized as a Senior Presidential Scholar, finished Cum Laude and commissioned as a Captain in the Army. Millie and I are so very, very proud of him.

This is Love

WE LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL... who is now 7 weeks old!

Beach Day!

We went to the Isle of Palms beach today to celebrate Matt's graduation with his classmates. This was Millie's first trip to the beach. It was so windy though, that I think it put her right to sleep. She's going to just love the beach when she gets older. She can be my little beach buddy since Daddy's not a big fan of the tan, err... sunburn, rather. And, there are some other random pictures, too, that we took over the weekend.

This evening I captured some footage of Millie in one of her latest favorite spots, her butterfly swing, courtesy of Uncle Art and Aunt Pam. Thanks, you guys! Also, you can see that Bella is still somewhat clueless about this whole baby thing happening in our family. She's such a simple dog.

Millie's Many Faces

Millie likes to make faces and luckily we've caught many on camera. If only she could talk to tell us what she means. In the meantime, I'll translate for her.

This one is from her first bath at about 3 weeks old. It's Matt's favorite photo of her. We call it "Impressions of a Monkey."


I call this one the "I love the taste of bath water" face.

The hand on her forehead is her genius way of playing peek-a-boo.


Speaking of Peek-A-Boo, she's all big and bad in her stroller taking a snooze. She learned this trick yesterday. As you can see her face and body are changing. See those little rolls on her thighs? I'm so proud.

Waking up is hard to do. Millie grunts and groans as she stretches
for what seems like a really long time in order to wake up.
I think she has the longest baby torso I've ever seen!

Finally, I caught some of her voice on video as she sat on Dad's legs early on Saturday morning.
