Happy Halloween!

Welcome Alex Benjamin Miller!

On October 12, 2009 at 1:33 pm, we joyfully welcomed Alex Benjamin Miller into our family! Alex weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long.

Oink?

As if beginning Week 39 of pregnancy wasn't exciting enough, this weekend, Julia got sick - and not just any kind of sick . . . swine flu sick! YIKES! We felt lucky to get our hands on what is apparently some of the last Tamiflu in the city, for Julia and Mommy. Julia seems to be getting better (as is Daddy, who has been fighting what was officially diagnosed as "the crud"), and so far, (knock on wood) Mommy has avoided the dreaded H1N1 virus. We've instructed the baby in the belly to hold off on his arrival at least a few more days until we can get everyone healthy again. We'll see if he'll follow directions.

Happy!

What a smile!

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!
