Our Mini m&m's

The trademark of our family is that we all have the same initials: MMY.  Hence, the reason for the title of the blog (if you didn't already know!).  When Mike and I went to Las Vegas, we thought it would be appropriate to get the kids each an m&m shirt at the m&m store on the strip!  The only "girl" m&m is the green one, so we got that color for the girls.  Max got a blue one, mostly just because it's a boy color!  Mike and I contemplated getting a shirt for each of us, but decided we'd probably NEVER wear them.  It would have been a cool picture though, each of us a different color of m&m!  We'll have to settle for pics of just the kiddos!

Growing like a weed

Our baby is almost 8 months old and doing so many new things:) 

Miley pulls herself up to ANYTHING she can get a grip on!  It started with the ottoman, then the end tables, then the couch.  Her new thing is to 'cruise' from chair-to-chair under the dining room table.  Now that the weather is getting cooler, I have been putting socks on her.  She's taken a few more tumbles because of this.  The darn floor is so slippery with socks:) 





I've also been giving Miley some table foods.  I'm ready for her to eat meals with the family:)  She LOVES Cheerios!  She's also mastered buttered toast and Ritz crackers.  Milers doesn't have the biggest appetite for 'real food' yet, but every once in a while she gets into it!  She does great with only 2 teeth! It's so fun to see Miley 'chew' her food!

mmmmmm.....toast!
She kind of sucks on it and takes bites!  I don't have to break apart pieces for her!

A little morning 'bed head!'

Now we just need to start drinking from the sippy cup!
