Fashion Friday - Fuzzy Buns

And our youngest of models is showing the latest in cute cloth diapers, adjustable and adorable in lime green.



Oh, and we're trying to get her to be the youngest McMiller walker ever. She's got the will, but the coordination she's still working on.

An aside: the cute "shirt" Erin is wearing is really one of Robins dresses. Guess we'll get a few years of wear out of that one!

Erin Self Portrait with Dots

Robin June 28 weeks

This was going to be a wordless wednesday post, but there are just too many things going on for RJ right now, and since this is the closest thing she'll have to a baby book, gotta document it here.

If there's one word that describes Robin right now it's BUSY.  She's curious, energetic, happy, intrigued, and busy.  She reaches for everything, and wants to constantly explore her surroundings.  She is not appeased with baby toys, but instead wants to explore anything but toys.  She will happily sit and play with new objects for long stretches of time so long as the objects are new to her.  Her fine motor skills are developing well and she is working on the big stuff too - she's less interested in rolling and more interested in figuring out locomotion.  She can wiggle around in circles, but no forward or backward momentum. Yet.  She is eating solids.  After playing with food as toys for a few weeks, she has firmly grasped the bite-chew-swallow so well she's already onto soft chunks, preferably put into her mouth by her own hand.

Erin's first day of Preschool

After a summer break, Erin started her new class at preschool today.  She's in the "young 3's" class and is very proud.  She was ecstatic to see her BFF "C" after not seeing her all summer long, and was thrilled to finally be in the "big kid" classroom.  

McMillers Rock Sacto!

Labor Day weekend had us taking a mini vacation to Sacramento - on the train!  A short 2 hour trip plopped us right near Old Town Sacramento.  2 days, 2 kids, 2 backpacks.  We stayed at an inexpensive hotel that had a pool and free breakfast, was in close proximity to a beach, and that had a shuttle that would take us to/from places.  Sweet.  There are lots of stories to tell - taking the kids to a fancy dinner when we meant to go to a kid-friendly place.  Watching 4 episodes worth of bad TV.  Inadvertently going during Gold Rush Days. Swimming in the American River, and seeing all walks of life on the beach, including 3 horses.  Brian taking Robin for a walk at 4:30 AM so I could get some sleep and having to explain to all the, um, interesting people he met that he was carrying a baby. Checking out the Railroad Museum.  Saying "Hi" to the Governor.   We thought there'd  be nothing to do, but it ended up we had no spare time.

And of course, there were pictures.

Fashion Friday - A Bride

"I'm gonna put on a pretty dress.  Because I'm going to get married.  To Cuckaduh and Sara.  Because they're both Daddies.  And I'm going to marry them."
