First UGA Game

This was our first chance to get to see a televised UGA football game this year. Grace was all decked out in her UGA attire (courtesy of Parker) with her UGA blanket for added support. She supported the team by yelling "touchdown" and "all right" (or anything else we said).

Pictures from Great Aunt Jane

Dan's aunt, Jane, is a camera woman for a national news service. She lives in Italy and visited Buffalo a few months ago. These are a few of the pictures that she took of Grace. Aunt Elizabeth sent them to us today.

Dentist Visit #2

I thought we were told at our first dental visit in February that this time she would get a cleaning with the real instruments, so I planned ahead. I gave Grace a little Tylenol and prepared myself for the crying. When we got there and learned it would just be an exam and a brushing with a regular toothbrush, I was a little let down. Not that I wanted to hear baby cry, but the anticipation had taken its toll.

So after the dental assistant's exam and brushing, I asked when she would get the real thing. I was told not until 3-4 years of age...but since she was doing so well, we could try her in the big chair. I asked Grace if she wanted to sit in the big girls' chair, and she nodded yes. So we put her laying down on her back with her head on the pillow. The assistant then just opened her mouth and examined her teeth...Grace was fine. Then she took out the rotary brush, and Grace started whining. But she didn't cry and she didn't try to get away. She ended up with about a 30 second brushing, which was a long time, according to the assistant. As soon as the brush stopped, Grace sat up and started talking.

She was a big girl after all.

Shower for New Baby Oddy

Aunt Lindsey's baby shower was held Saturday at Nana's (Kathleen) house. Grace made an appearance at the end for cake. She was happy to see her great-grandmother, Dan's grandmother, Joanne. It was a nice day and eveything went well.

Only a few more weeks until there is another little Dan and Dave in the world. We all wonder how much she will resemble Grace or if the Miller genes will win the baby battle.

More Jump

Grace likes to run around the ottoman and jump off the floor pillows. Sometimes its more of a step than a jump. She will do it over and over while saying and signing "more". Our clapping and saying "more" keeps her going.

A Quick Dip in the Lake

Bye Bye Lake

We had a great time. On our last day, Grace drank some chalk from a cup, posed with Daddy and gave "huggies" to the plastic animal toys. She had a busy holiday. With little sleep and new farmer tans, we headed home.

More Lake

Grace also had a friend at the lake, Lauren, who is 2 months older. They played and laughed together the whole weekend.

Canadaigua Lake

We had the privilege of spending the holiday weekend at our friends' cottage on the lake. We had our own room, and the house was right on the lake. Grace loved the water and the kayak. Dan had to take her out numerous times. She also got a short motor boat ride that was not long enough for her taste. When we stopped, she kept saying and signing "more boat". She was a cute baby with the wind blowing through her hair.

"YE YE's " Party

Grace attended Lily's birthday party at Leaps-n-Bounces on Saturday. We had the place all to ourselves, and it was a lot of fun. Baby didn't have time for food, even cake, because she wanted to keep playing. She kept at it for almost 2 1/2 hours.
