Milli, Milz, Milli Pilli, Mishi, Milliling, Milli Lee...


Milli had her 6 month old appointment last week and I need to "update" some of her latest and greatest. First of all she has many nicknames. Her latest was given to her by her uncle Marcos (my bro.) In Argentina we say the "y" and "ll" with a "SH" sound so since Millicent is spelled with a double "L" we now call her MiSHicent or MiSHi. We love her new nickname and it makes us laugh all the time. Milli is always smiling and I love her beautiful blue eyes, her toothless smile, her giggles, and many other things. Milli has been eating rice cereal for the past week and DOESN'T like it. I fed her some carrots today and she shook with disgust when I would get some in her mouth, I had to laugh every time. This little monkey is a bit small for my liking and I have been concerned with her lack of growth. She really needs some more meat on those bones. The Doc assured me she was doing just fine and not to worry, but that I should push for more feedings... well, thanks for the advice doc. should of told me sooner! Now that she is getting more food she is finally sleeping through the night! I guess she was starving. I can already tell she is a bit rounder in the face since last week. She is rolling over and is pretty content and loves her mama (that is a first for me because the other two like daddy best). Milli is joy and we love her to pieces.

Her latest stats:

13lbs. 12oz 15% weight
25 3/4 inches long 50% height


We love you Mish!

How lucky for you that she is sleeping through the night! Allie has been on cereal and food for over 2 weeks and she eats it so well, but does not sleep through the night! What gives?!?

She has such a contagious little grin. I can't wait to see her again- she was so tiny the last time I saw her.

Mishi still likes me best - just like the other two. I love you and miss you.

Aaahhh, I was wondering where Mishi came from and I was going to ask you about it...that is cute. I love to hear stories about how people/kids get their nicknames. Also, the pictures of her are so cute and now I don't feel so bad that Roslyn loves her papi more than me - I guess I will just keep trying until I get one that loves me more!! :)

So for some reason I haven't seen all of the post under this one! I am so sorry. I don't know where I have been. Milli is adorable. I love it when babies start to become more than just a lump. Not that I don't adore just holding little tiny babies, I DO! Let me know when you go up to logan and I will try to plan a trip there the same time I would love to see you.
