Bath Time!

Good weekend with Daddy!

David took Friday off to spend with us, so off we went to the zoo!



Mylie and I couldn't find David at one point, but we found him...here he is relaxing in the shade. Haha!


We also had tickets for the Ranger's game Saturday night. We only made it through the 4th inning because Mylie started to get weepy eyes and was running a fever.


She still wasn't feeling back to normal, so she and I stayed home from church on Sunday. But she was excited for David to get home so they could have a little picnic while they watched the Texans vs the Colts.

This is a busy month for David at work, so we are excited when we get to spend time with him and try to make the most of it!

Mylie's Christmas Movie

Now that we can publish videos...here's an oldie but goodie!

Baby Hicks # 2

I'm sure many (if not everyone) have heard by now, but I'm pregnant again. I am 8 weeks today and my due date is April 26, 2008. We are very excited and are looking forward to Baby Hicks # 2. Our time with Mylie has been such gift and we feel a love for that baby girl that we never knew we could experience. And to feel that love again for another child is very overwhelming and very exciting! We know that Mylie will be the best big sister and we can't wait to watch our kiddos grow up together. As we find things out, we'll be sure to let you all know.

Bathtime Fun (Or Not So Much)

Mylie typically has the best time in the bath. She loves to play with her cool toys; loves to splash water everywhere; loves to pull up on the side of the bath tub. This is where the fun now stops for Mylie. Not only is standing up in the tub discouraged by most parents, I'm sure that the American Association of Pediatrics has something stern to say about it as well.

about to get sat back down...

9 Months

Mylie was 9 months old last Tuesday (yes, I'm a little behind these days). She went in for her 9 month check up yesterday and here are her stats...weight: 16.3 lbs (8-9%), height: 28 inches (63%), head circumfrence: 17.2 inches (43%). She did lose some pounds since she's started crawling and the doctor said this is very normal. (I wish I could drop some weight just by crawling around!!!) She was such a sweet girl for the doctor yesterday and didn't cry too hard when they poked her finger to draw blood. The doctor gave us the go ahead to give Mylie some big kid foods and here's what we've tried so far...


The messiest baby cookies around!


Bananas...these were a hit.

Cheese and turkey...the cheese was also a big hit...the turkey...not so much. She's also had macaroni and cheese and really likes it. Finally, someone else in the house that enjoys Velveeta Shells & Cheese!


Here's Mylie crawling around. Please ignore the blue tape and messy floors. We're involved in a month (or 2) long painting process.


She also pulls up in her crib now. This was the first time I saw her pulling up. She was ready to get out of her bed after her nap and got really upset when I left the room (with her in her bed) and went to get the camera.


And she's just a silly girl. She has so many new faces and this was just one that I caught.
