Just Stuff...

I computer crashed last week so I don't have access to all my pictures right now, but I thought I would update on some stuff going on in the Milliorn house.

Drew is on a big vocabulary kick these days. Anytime he doesn't know what a word means, he asks. Which means I have to come up with a definition on the fly! I guess I should practice saying "lets look it up when we get home", but I never think of that. So today's vocabulary words were Preposterous, and Ridiculous (he was watching "Bolt"). So I told him they both meant silly, or totally crazy. To which in all seriousness he replied "then why don't they just say that, Mommy?" Good question!

He asks LOTS of questions... ALL the time right now. Most of them are the garden variety "but why?" said in a 4 year-old's whiny voice. But some of them are really good questions about God, and Jesus. Last night as I was putting him to bed he asked "Does God talk?" to which I replied "Yes, of course he does," hoping that would be the end of that conversation until I could prepare more of a detailed answer. But no! Quickly after that the question came "but how?" That is when my memory of Experiencing God kicked in. I totally broke out the "through prayer, the Bible, the church, and circumstance." I said a fast "thank you prayer to God for giving me that memory at that moment, and thought "whew, that should end that conversation for a while." But no, he had to go back to the vocab lesson with "what does circumstance mean?" Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that he is already asking such great questions about God, but I am afraid I may have to go to seminary one day to have all the answers.

Cooper is 10 months old now, and rolling everywhere! He isn't trying to crawl yet, but he may not have to if he keeps rolling like he is right now. He can get pretty much anywhere in the living room he wants to, in a matter of seconds. However, he has yet to venture off of the carpet, onto the hardwood. I am totally fine with him staying on the carpet, there isn't much he can get in trouble with in the living room. As I type this (on a borrowed laptop from Andy), he is just rolling from side to side trying to figure out how to get Drew's Light Saber. He just got it, good thing Drew just left with Daddy. Cooper is also getting much better at standing up while holding on to my fingers. Before he would get too excited about standing, and bend over to look at his legs instead of standing up straight. How he stands straight and proud.

We are having a great summer just hanging out around the house, and going to the occasional play group and story time, and swimming in the pool. Andy brought my computer home today, so hopefully once we get all my pictures restored I can get some more pictures posted. I am so thankful we had them all backed up!
