Pregnancy Week 33

Well, we've made it to Week 33. We're anxious to finish up the rest of the pregnancy and welcome Baby Boy Miller into our family!

First Day of School

Julia was excited to go back to school today. She loves her new classroom, teachers, and classmates and was all smiles on the first day. Taking after her daddy, she already knows the names of all the kids in her class and is on her way to learning each of their favorite colors and parents' names. Taking after her mommy, she was very proud to show off her new shoes at school.

Adventures in Potty Training, Continued

Julia sure has come a long way since we first blogged about our adventures in potty training. We are THRILLED to report that Julia is officially potty trained! With the exception of bedtime, Julia has completely kicked pull-ups and diapers and is all about her panties! Hooray! We're so proud of our BIG GIRL!!

And she's pretty proud of herself too...

...and of her potty chart...

GO JULIA!

Beautiful Baby Shower / Family Extravaganza in The Woodlands

Mom (R), Mom (M), Nina, Lindsay and Elisa hosted a beautiful little baby shower for us at Mom and Dad's house.

After the shower, the Reinsmith-Miller-Bettan-Gilbert family enjoyed a great weekend of R&R at the Reinsmith Resort.

Julia enjoyed some quality time with her Papa and Poppy...

...and loved playing in the pool with Uncle Lance...

...and playing doctor with Aunt Elisa (whom she determined to be in excellent health).

Aunt Lindsay and Jason introduced Shadow to the family. Everyone, including Julia, got to have a turn holding her.

A great time was had by all! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Everyone Can Play!

Julia was playing with some newly-made friends at the library, when a not-so-nice little boy told one of the little girls that she couldn't play with the group. Julia looked right at the little bully and said 'NO, EVERYONE CAN PLAY!'

We're pretty proud of our girl!

Observations

Julia on the difference between boys and girls:
BOYS have moustaches
GIRLS have babies in their bellies
