We're back!

We just got back from California visiting Mike's family. Everyone was so nice, and we had the best possible time. Milly LOVED all of the attention and enjoyed performing for everyones entertainment. There wasn't a person that Milly didn't love, and she especially liked when her extremely patient Papa Pat took her around the house to show her the large collection of Santa figures displayed. Oddly enough Milly got very attached to a ping pong ball which we had to take with us on the plane. Please enjoy the attached photos on the following blogs!

Milly with her CA family

Here are some pictures with Milly's CA family..

the airplane ride

Milly was great on the plane ride, she slept halfway and the other half she was making friends with the passengers around her.

the first day in CA

Milly's eyes were as big as saucers when she saw the great Christmas tree Nana Sue put up! She started trying to pull off the ornaments right away.

a powerful pointer finger

While we were in CA, Milly really started to use her pointer finger. Don't worry, she'll tell you where to go and what she wants to eat!

Milly loves Santa

Nana Sue found the best Santa for Milly to take her Christmas picture with. He didn't scare Milly one bit, I don't think that she wanted to leave his lap!

the Crab Cooker

The Crab Cooker was Milly's favorite restaurant by far. The bread sticks were a big hit......even if most of them ended up on the floor.

Christmas day

Even though Milly had a bit of a fever from teething on Christmas, she was still a really good sport. She's better at opening presents than she was on her birthday.

Baby zoo day!

We met our friends in San Diego for a baby day at the zoo. Milly had such a fun time interacting with the other babies, I'm not sure if she noticed any of the animals.

Walking with Nana Sue

Milly is so close to walking on her own!

ducks, ducks and more ducks

Milly loved feeding the ducks by her Nana Sue and Papa Pat's house, she especially liked the white duck that was losing his feathers.

big girl playing

Milly loved playing at the big girl swing set with her Nana Sue!

The last CA bath..

This was Millys final bath as we got all of our stuff packed for the airport. Although we were very sad to leave everyone, we are looking forward to our next CA visit!
