Annie is almost 4 weeks old! time has flown! Here's some random thoughts and happenings...

1.Drew Loves being a dad! While he still feels a little lost around Annie, his bond with the boys is tight.
I honestly can say- this was one of Drew's happiest moments. Drew loves-loves football! The boys and him played football upstairs for a good hour and they were all smiles!




2.When Mac wakes up in the morning he runs to Annie and asks me "Can I hold her or somethin? "then says "I want to kiss her" Mac loves his little sister!
Last night we read a book about mammals and the different ways they protect themselves. This is how Mac applied his newly learned knowledge...

This morning while he was doing his normal holding, hugging and kissing on Annie, she spit up on him. Mac laughed and said "Do you know how babies protect themselves from their brothers, they spit at them!"

3. Annie Spits up A LOT
4. Gray, When I ask him "Do you love baby Annie?" he says "Yes I do! I love baby Annie not baby Reese" We were debating naming Annie, Reese.

5. Gray is a daddy's boy. He walks around saying "Mac likes Mommy and I like Daddy. I Do!" and because he likes his dad so much, Drew is the only person that can talk Gray into taking a bath!

6. I don't think we will ever have another baby in January. Winter blues + baby blues, is not good but don't worry I think we are past the baby blues and now just dealing with the cabin fever/winter blues- but isn't everyone?!

7. when I was pregnant- I was always hot! since having Annie I don't think I've been warm!


8.binkies are the greatest especially when the baby learns how to hold it in herself...
9. Having a daughter is all that it's cracked up to be....


Annie's stats at 2 weeks.
weight 8lbs 13 oz - 60%
Length 22 1/4 inches 95%

Mac's comment about big brothers is CLASSIC. You'll be happy you wrote that one down. Annie is a doll! But I wouldn't expect anything less from a Millar baby.

love all the pictures and updates. I love Annie's headband. I am not going to lie, I miss the Millar family.

So REALLY bad Idea to look at your blog. I thought I was doing ok until I see you all. Life has been so crazy I don't think I have looked at blogs for months. She is so cute Ash! Can't believe you have a little girl and I am not there to hold her. Cant wait until you come. We are seriously going through Millar withdrawls. Miss you all tons. Give everyone hugs for me. As soon as we get our other computer up I will skype you so the kids can chat! You know you could always come here to get away from the blues. Its 74 degrees today!! Just sayin! miss you.

First off, great to read what Debbie wrote to you. I've thought about them a lot lately hoping they had adjusted.

Ashlee, it's been so fun to talk and text over the past few days. I think about you all the time and I just need to pick up the phone more often.

Annie is so cute and I could read your boys' quotes forever. They are SO funny. Just tonight we said, "I Kung Fu Panda'd him." We love Mac and Gray.

Wishing I could hold your little cutie. Hoping she'll still be small the next time we come down to check on the house!
