I was flipping through the pictures on my phone yesterday and came upon these gems of cuteness. I didn't take them so (obviously) Miller was messing around with my phone behind my back. Gotta love surprise cuteness!!

It's been a while since S.B.G. has sported any type of crazy hair-do. Now that her hair has so much length, it ends up in her eyes a lot so we have resorted to hair clips for a more "mature" look. I love that she looks like a big girl, but every now and then it's important to mix it up. After all, what fun is it having all that hair if you can't do something silly?

So the picture is a little lot blurry because we were in the car (not to worry...Miller was driving) and I gave up trying to get a better one because immediately after this picture was taken, that super cute smile flipped upside down into "Get-me-the-fuck-out-of-this-carseat" screams. But you see them, right?? Two tiny, cute little bottom front teeth???
Le sigh. My little baby girl is growing up.

Our very own little S.B.G. is now the proud owner of two bottom teeth. Pictures are (still) hard to come by and I will keep trying as they continue to make their presence known. Just wanted to document this one for the record books. :)

As promised yesterday, I busted out the camera and took Audrey's 7 months pictures today. She was in a MUCH better mood today, thanks to the fact that one of her teeth finally popped through! (More on that in a second).
As for her cute little tooth, her bottom right incisor broke the surface last night and I woke up to a teeny, tiny tooth poking out. Her bottom left incisor is still hanging out below the gum but I think it will be making an appearance any day now. I tried to get a picture of her new tooth, but it was pretty much impossible. Audrey wouldn't hold still long enough for me to zoom in & focus on the tiny little speck in her mouth. Hopefully over the next couple days as the tooth continues to work its way in I'll be able to snap a picture or two. Either way, I'm going to miss her little gummy smile.

Little Audrey hit 7 months old today. Yippee!!
She's growing into such a big girl and is literally changing each and every day. She sits up like a champ and enjoys rocking back and forth on all fours -- still no crawling yet (whew!). She started solid foods this past month and has really started to enjoy so many different foods! Sweet potatoes & squash are by far her favorites, but apples and bananas are running a close third & fourth. We started a sippy cup earlier this week but I don't think she's actually managed to get any liquid out of it, but she sure enjoys playing with it! Her bottom teeth are literally breaking the surface as we speak; I am struggling to get photos of them but trust me when I say they're the cutest little teeth you ever saw. :) Hopefully when they're mostly in and not bothering her so much I'll be able to get some good pictures of them.
We were out and about this afternoon and by the time we got home, S.B.G. was ready to crash out. She did awaken for a short while to grub, but it was already too dark to get her monthly picture. We'll take it tomorrow (promise). In the meantime, enjoy this adorable (but blurry) pic of her playing with her new stacking cups.

Things are continuing at the same pace as last reported. Audrey's teeth still haven't broken the surface & my allergies are still kicking my ass. I have, however, tried to muster the energy to pull the camera back out again. I'm still not a picture-taking-fool but I'm trying.
We decided to give Audrey her first sippy cup so she can start to practice drinking like a big girl. She's already getting the hang of holding on to it but the whole tipping of the head is a foreign concept to her. At least she looks cute trying.

Things have been hectic in the Miller household. I've been dealing with horrible allergies (damn you, cedar) with kleenex shoved up my nose at all times. I can't take my usual allergy medicine because I'm still breastfeeding, so I'm stuck trying any & all homeopathic remedies available. I still haven't found one that works, so until then I'm on house arrest taking multiple showers a day to cleanse myself of the allergens.
Fortunately, Audrey does not have allergies. She's a happy little clam of a baby playing & smiling without a care in the world. Except for the two little teeth trying desperately to pop their way through her bottom gums. I mentioned last week that I thought this was "it" on the teething front & I was definitely right. You can actually SEE the little teeth below the gum. I feel absolutely helpless because I can only imagine how bad she's hurting right now. There are absolutely a lot of hugs & cuddles happening in our house these days. And not a lot of pictures. At all.
With the sheer misery happening all over our house I just don't have the heart (or the energy) to pull out the camera. But I can't post a blog entry without a photo (or else my mom will kill me) so I'm going to cheat and post a picture from last week. It's still relevant because it pretty much exemplifies our life these days.
Oh, mesh feeder, how I love thee.

I've been a little behind on the blogging lately. S.B.G. has been keeping me on my toes the last couple days...some fussier than normal nights & a SUPER fussy day today. I thought we had a tooth coming in a couple months ago (turns out I was wrong), so I'm not sure if this is really her teething or just another fake out. Either way, we're all a little sleep deprived.
In other S.B.G.-related news...Lyndsay surprised me and finished proofing our 6 month photo shoot pictures WAY earlier than expected. I seriously love every.single.one. and love that she literally captured every single expression possible from a 6-month-old. Check out the blog love or the full slideshow. On the off chance that you need a reason, allow me to entice you with one of my favorites from the shoot:

I am so extremely lucky to have a happy baby girl. She is the sweetest thing in the entire world and I lovelovelovelovelove her. That's it. Just wanted to share.

Green Beans have been on the menu for S.B.G. for a couple weeks now. She didn't like them initially but I just chocked it up to shoddy preparation on my part (they were exceptionally runny) and decided to forge ahead. After she (disdainfully) finished the last batch I made a second attempt at homemade green beans, paying special attention to the food/water ratio to ensure they were "just right."
Tonight, we gave it another go. She gives them a try...
Unfortunately for S.B.G., green beans are good for her. Which means I get to mix them with her cereal until she gets over her dislike. I'll stop feeding them to her when she can tell me she doesn't want them.

It's late and I have to get up in a 5 hours to take Miller to the airport. Assuming S.B.G. doesn't wake me up first.
Speaking of...she and I were clowning around on the floor earlier today. She has decided that she wants to make funny faces now; probably because I do nothing but laugh my ass off. Judge for yourself.
She's a funny girl. And I love her bunches.

Happy New Year folks!!
Another year has FLOWN by and a new one is upon us. Now to figure out how to say the year. Twenty-ten? Two-thousand-ten? Eh. To each his own I guess. Sheesh. I remember in elementary school thinking that 2010 was going to be "the future." I wonder what happened to that flying car I thought I would have by now...
Last night Miller & I went to the annual New Year's Eve party at a friend's place (we've gone to the same party the last 3 years now). Many thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Miller for watching S.B.G. so we could have an evening out!
Speaking of hanging out at home with S.B.G., we spent the afternoon chilling on the floor today.
