Another Hobby?

I have taken on a lot of new hobbies lately. So, I probably shouldn't take on yet another one, but I have been inspired by friends' talents and enjoyed actually getting a little taste of cake decorating on Wednesday night. (Pun intended.) Sister Gifford was kind enough to teach the Young Women about cake decorating at her home on Wednesday night, and the leaders got to play around, too. Here is my first effort. I was pretty proud, and now I am inspired to make cool cakes for every birthday my kids have. Tall order? Yes. Do-able? Maybe. A fun outlet for my minor creative side? Yes, definitely. (I don't know why the pictures are sideways. Sorry.)

I'm 4 Months Old!

Well, Millie has confirmed her "healthy" status according to the pediatrician. He called her a moose this time. Compliment? Ummmm....yes, I think it was meant to be a compliment. She was 16 lbs 1 oz (90th %) and 26 in (96th %). She is now rolling over from her tummy to her back immediately after being laid on her back. Sometimes she figures out how to roll back to her back, but she generally just fusses until we roll her back over. She smiles and giggles all the time and loves grasping objects and putting them in her mouth. She has pretty much mastered the art of picking her binky up and putting it back in her mouth, but she usually tries to put it in backwards and then gets mad when it doesn't stay put. While on her tummy, she is digging her heels into the carpet and raising her bum into the air - basically, she's trying to crawl without knowing how to crawl. She is a great baby, and we love watching her grow!
