Donuts on Saturday

This morning we experienced our very first donuts! We were inspired by our sweet friend Hannah and her mommy, but Mommy wasn't brave enough to make donuts at home. So, we headed off to the Shipley donuts in our neighborhood. We let Daddy sleep in while we enjoyed our sprinkle-covered chocolate donuts - yummy! Mommy even let Charlotte wear her jammies.

Sink Time

Charlotte loves pouring and measuring and making 'tea' for her friends in the kitchen sink. She could play in here for hours! Her imagination amazes me. She really needs very little to be entertained. I love that she is so content in life.

After a week of suffering through a double ear infection, Charlotte is finally feeling better! We took her to Sea World ("Shamu's house") in San Antonio and had a blast.

I can't believe it's been nearly 6 weeks since my last blog. I think I needed a little vacation from blogging. It all started when we lost our camera after Charlotte's birthday party in February, only to find it a month later hidden in one of the playroom toys. Can you tell that one of Cici's favorite things to do right now is organizing, moving things around, 'helping' mommy?!? Maybe she's picked up on Mommy's third trimester nesting instinct. The Milam family is in full-swing organization mode. More on that later with the construction of our upstairs playroom.....

Making Music

This semester we are back with Ms. Carey at Heartsong Music. We really enjoy our Tuesday morning routine of music class and hanging out with our pals. Today we sang Happy Birthday to Charlotte. I can't believe she'll be 2 in five short days!

Lunch with Papa

This week we picked up Papa at his work, National Instruments, and went to lunch. We ate outside in the beautiful weather and had taco meat, tomatoes (Shadow's favorite), rice, beans, guacamole and tortillas. It was so much fun to play with Papa!

Baby Shower

On Saturday Mommy hosted a baby shower for Danielle. We have been dear friends since Ms. Spray's 3rd grade class. Mommy hosted the shower with Amber and Melissa, friends from high school. It was a lot of fun! Dani is having a girl and we are so excited to meet her.
