Turtles and Hippos

Most of us experienced a rainy fourth of July weekend, but, during that little bit of sunshine, we took a trip to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. Millie got to see the hippo, turtle, flamingo and penguin exhibits.


We spent some much needed time with Mia and GrandDaddy Morris, Aunt Katie and Kevin, and Aunt Meg and Uncle Leo. Just like Aunt Katie says, "There's one thing for sure Millie is...loved."


She's developing a lot these days, as you would expect. She's laughing tons, grasping/holding onto objects like fingers and toys, sitting up with assistance, in the car seat she'll stare straight at her feet like she's never seen them before, and when held upright she'll put weight on her legs. Oh, and she likes to suck on her fist any chance she gets.

She's got her 4 month appointment on the 16th and we'll know her stats for sure then. From what I can tell, she's weighing in at 13.5 lbs and about 24.5" long.
