CRUISING

PIG TAILS

I am glad I took these photos of Mila with longer hair in pigtails, because she had her first haircut when were in Portland, and I can't pull her hair up like this anymore... oh well, it will grow back fast.  

MILA'S FIRST ELECTION

Mila experienced her first election tonight!  Of course she was curious as to what it was all about.  The ladies running the show really got a kick out of Mila, and gave her an "I Voted" sticker.  Well we are watching the election results as I write this, and it looks like it is going to be over quickly.  As a matter of fact CNN just announced Obama the projected winner!!!  We are very happy about this, especially as new parents.  

ADVENTURES IN CRAWLING

Mila has become quite the little crawler.  She is even pulling herself up on furniture and windowsills.  Of course this has led to frequent head bumps,  she usually cries for a short time and then goes right back to it.  The biggest culprit has been our stairs.  She can only stand on the floor and hold onto the first or second step, but somehow she manages to slip and bump her head.  We need to figure out how we are going to gate them off.  

TRICK-OR-TREAT

Well Halloween in Montana was actually warm this year.  We thought it would be a great night for some trick-or-treating.  We went to popular Yellowstone street with our friends Ashley, Shannon and their daughter Violet (she's 3 weeks younger than Mila).  We had a great time, it was fun to watch the babies take in their first Halloween.  Mila looked around like she had been transported to another planet, fascinated by all the costumes.  I do have to say that I did not see another skunk as cute.
