Mac gabbing

Mac says few words. Mom, dad, dog, bopa (grandpa), bebe (baby), whats that and this and pretty much any animal sound. Our favorite lately is the elephant. But he's not mute. He talks nonstop all day. He totally thinks he's talking and that we understand everything he says. It's pretty cute. I have been trying to get this on camera for some time now but whenever I pull it out he gets shy. Here's our best shot so far. He had just woken up and was not as talkative as usual but you can get the point.

What we've been up to....

Mac has been making a mess of everything but he sure looks cute doing it.

I found Mac hiding beside my bed with a bottle of Vavoom hairspray. Doesn't his hair look great?I think he's a natural; maybe he'll be following in his Aunt Roo's footsteps.
This is our adorable little baby. We had an Ultrasound today and got to take another peek at him. This is his profile to the right with his foot up against his forehead on the left. He's got his dad's flexibility!
The baby measured at 35.4 weeks (we are 34.1 weeks today), 5.5 lbs., 54 percentile and his little feet are already 3 inches long. We could tell that he has a little chin and chubby cheeks just like Mac had in his 35 week ultra sound pictures.

We had one last law school get together with the LDS students. We are missing Eric, Travis, Noah and Doug. We should have taken it when everyone was there, but Drew and Blaine insisted that we take a picture anyway.

Some of the wives.

I have become domestic. Last week I made a hooter hider. I'm modeling it in the picture to the left. Anything to make nursing easier for the next baby is fine by me.
Lately I have been spending my Saturdays going to yard sales. I love finding cheap things. Last week I struck gold. I found a coffee table that needed a little paint job and new knobs. I wish I would have taken a before picture but trust me it was not this cute (the flash made the color look brighter than it really is). It will be a great accent piece when we get the other pieces of the living room set.

Yesterday was our blogs first birthday. That's right. It's been a year since I started this blog and it's been so great. I have tried scrap booking, and other memory type books but I have never been able to keep up on it all but this blog has worked. Thanks Karrissa for getting me into the blogging world. Now I have a complete record of the past year! Happy birthday "whatsnewmillar".

Congrats Grad!!!!

Friday was the big Day, Drew graduated from Law school. I can't tell you how fast three years have gone by. All his hard work paid off and now he has a Juris Doctor degree.

Wednesday night both Drew's parents and my parents flew in to help celebrate our big weekend. Thursday we went to the zoo (see next post). Friday was graduation. The whole thing was perfect. The speakers were entertaining and we all couldn't help but tear up when all the law students walked out. It was a proud moment for us all. They had all the parents stand up and then the grandparents, spouses/partners and kids. They congratulated all of us as well. It was a memorable night.

Drew, we are so proud of you and love you so much!!! Congratulations, you did it!

It was nice of Julie and her son Craig to come. We love the Floyd family.

We were worried that Mac would get bored during the ceremony and scream but he did really well. He was the best clapper there and entertained himself by sniffing and wiping his nose. He's such a goof ball.Drew in the crowd of law students with Eric Smith behind him and Travis Little in front of him. They were just missing Shawn Garner. The 4 LDS law students.

All the law students I could fit in the picture. There were 165 law students that graduated. I had to throw this picture in. This is me, Drew and Jed, three years ago at his BYU graduation. We had only been married 3 months; I was 21 and Drew was 22. We were so young! A lot has changed in three years.

Lions and Tigers and Horses?

Anyone who knows Mac, knows that he's obsessed with animals. Even when he sees a Robin 10 times in a day he acts like it's the first time he's seen it and freaks out. So we thought it would be fun to take him to the Cincinnati Zoo with the people he loves most.

Mac would sit on Grandpa Millar's shoulders and play with his hair. It was a win, win situation. Mac was entertained while grandpa got a head massage.

My favorite were the gorillas. The moms were so tender with their babies.

The white tiger

So independent Mac was overly excited at every exhibit.

We all enjoyed the zoo so much we are already planning another trip. You can't come to Lexington and not expereince the horse industry. Saturday morning we woke up and went to Keeneland for a nice breakfast and to watch the horses work. It was Derby day so there were a lot of people there handicapping and tailgating for the big race.

It was a rainy morning but Mac was prepared with his rain boots and rain coat. He had so much fun splashing in all the puddles.

Later we made our way to Taylor Made farm. After the tour of the stallion barns the girls left to put Mac down for a nap while the men stayed for a breeding session. Lucky them:) I've seen it once and I don't care to ever see it again.

We had such a fantastic weekend with the grandparents. Thank you again for taking time off work and time from the other siblings to be here for the big weekend! We love you.
