Our first trip to the Dallas World Aquarium - Priceless.

This morning we decided the rainy weather meant a perfect opportunity to make our first family fieldtrip to the Aquarium. Here are our pictures from the excursion:

Millie checking out the stingrays . . .

And captiavted by the beautiful tropical fish . . .

And hoping this is as close as she ever comes to a shark . . .

And admiring these gorgeous flamingos . . .

And asleep on the way home, with her new stuffed fish . . .

The first steps toward first steps

Millie aboslutely LOVES being held up and walking around the house. She's going to be mobile before we know it!

Loot!

Here Millie is playing with some of the toys she got for Christmas. She really hit the jackpot this year, even though to her the box and wrapping paper were just as good as the toys inside of them!

Amelia's first Christmas

For Christmas this year we opened presents at home on the 19th before heading to Houston for the days leading up the 25th and to Amarillo for Christmas itself. It was a wonderful week, although Millie ended up with an ear infection on Christmas Eve, which was pretty miserable. After a trip to an urgent care clinic and a shot of antibiotic, she was back on track. Here are some pictures and videos from the week.

Ice, Ice, Baby

At the beginning of December mam and pops came up for the weekend and we went to the Gaylord Texan to see their Ice exhibit. It was awesome! Here we are all bundled up seeing as it was only 9 degrees in there!

Crawling!!

Her technique is still questionable, but she's getting better at it every day! Here's a video of her movin' and a groovin' a couple of weeks ago.

Say "peas"!

I haven't posted a picture in awhile and took this adorable classic the other night while Millie was enjoying her dinner of peas and tiny banana chunks, so I thought I'd share it! She's such a happy baby!
