smiling baby

"whenever i see your smiling face, i have to smile myself because i love you! yes i do" Everyone who has a child should listen to James Taylor's "your smiling face" every day. Max Milligan has started smiling,. and it's not just gas! it's a for real smile because she thinks that we are sooo funny. now if you know the song, you know that it continues as "when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out" Max Milligan has definately got the pout down pat. Her bottom lip sticks out so far. She looks just like my sister, Stephanie. such a bottom lip.
Max Milligan has got a flair for the dramatics and loves music and movement. She likes to dance with her mama and she likes to kick her legs and waive her arms to everything from james taylor to jack johnson. she even loves her baby bach and baby mozart cd. One moment she will be moving and grooving and as soon as a slow song comes on, she is gone! She takes after me in so many ways.

Here we go...

okay, so I have finally decided to catch up with Whitney and Kelly and do the blog thing. I am very excited about it but am a little nervous about coming after these two. Their blogs are amazing and I love reading their wonderful words. Now that my sweet baby girl has blessed our family, I figured that this will be a great way for family to always know what she is up to. Max Milligan is a wonderful baby and Daniel and I have had so much fun (and no sleep) since she has been here. As some of you may know, we did not find out if we were going to have a boy or a girl. I would have loved it either way, but when Daniel said it was a girl, I must say that I was excited. You see, she is named after my Papa who is one of the most wonderful men I have ever known. She has a big name to live up to and already she is doing the name justice. She is stubborn and firey and has so much love to share, just like Max Milligan Sr.
