we've been having "playdates" since millie was just a few months old. (it was really just an excuse for me to hang out with friends and their babies... usually she napped through the whole thing!) in the last few months the tables have definitely turned - our outings now consist of more playing and a lot less adult chatting! i'm so grateful to have friends with kids who are around the same age as millie. with all of the cold and rainy days that we've had in chicago this month, these mornings with friends have been a lifesaver... for both of us!
this picture is a perfect example of what i mean... restless and grumpy from another morning stuck inside the house. she was erasing videos off of the flip camera - definitely time for a change of scenery!
we have a brand new playroom that just opened up in our neighborhood... it's great! we try to get there when they open the doors - the untouched playroom is our oyster!
aunt carrie and blake came to meet us for the morning.
our friendship has been such a treat - a perfect example of how kids can become a common denominator for a relationship. millie and i enjoy spending time with her and blake so much!
they were a cute little pair in green!
another bonus of the playroom: millie is straight up exhausted by the time we leave! a three hour nap usually ensues soon after we walk in the door... awesome.
millie's friend olive turned three... it was her first 'big girl' birthday party. she was definitely clueless about what was going on, but she liked watching all of the little girls running around! the bouncy house was definitely a highlight of the afternoon.
the little mermaid made a guest appearance at the party... millie wasn't sure what to think of this beautiful red headed creature! (her cousin olivia would have been thrilled to meet the sea princess in person!)
olive is a couple of years older than millie (she still calls her "baby millie"), but i hope that they'll grow to be good friends as they grow up.
the age difference between these two is almost exactly how far apart millie and her new little brother or sister will be (baby caref II is arriving this november if you haven't already heard!)... it gives me hope that they'll be playmates one day!
pretty sweet, huh?
