Ok so I interrupt our regularly scheduled Millie talk... On Wednesday night I got to re-live my tween years by attending the NKOTB concert (that's New Kids on the Block for those of you not with it.) We (Me, Erin & Tracy) got floor seats, they were expensive but I am 30 years old and could afford them so we got them, it was worth it. My plan for the evening was for us to go get there early and have dinner at Gibson's Grille but we quickly realized that was ever other NKOTB's fan's plan as well so we ended up hightailing it to Capitol Ale House. We got some drinks so we could be tipsy for the concert and Tracy got hit on by some dude who tried to say he was also a NKOTB fan, he was lying b/c he couldn't name any of them...So we left and on our way back to the coliseum some dudes randomly asked us if we were going to see the New Kids and before anyone could answer I yelled NO like he was stupid for even asking us that (of course I was wondering why he would ask us that were we that obvious) So we get there get more drinks and head to our seats at this point it is dark and the opening act is on the jabbewockez from america's best dance crew

You know the dudes with masks... they were lame from what we saw nothing exciting but we were there at the very end maybe they were better in the beginning. (more about them later.) So the lights come up and you can see everyone. OMG! crimped hair, neon NKOTB shirts, gay men galore, giant buttons and of course the two tallest guys ever right in front of me. I was not stoked I almost asked him if he would sit down for $20 b/c I knew he girlfriend had dragged him there. So the show started and so did the screaming, I screamed some but at one point we all had our fingers in our ears b/c it was too damn loud, get a grip ladies. They came out in all black and should have stayed in those outfits. They also changed into all silver and white ensembles which were lame. Joey was wearing a giant sparkly belt buckle and sparkly jacket. He needs a new stylist, it is probably the same person who told him to wear this

So they finish some songs and it goes dark, thinking it might be over I am pissed then the lights come up and they are freaking right behind us on this circular stage with a piano. People go ape shit and they sing 3 or 4 songs. While this is all going on the security people are all in a tizzy to our right with some giant long rope, we then realize they are going to walk right past us since we have the end of the aisle seats. Tracy goes into the next row so we can all position ourselves against the rope and when they come by I grope them all yes, even Danny but the best was I grabbed Joey's man boob and tried to rip a sequin from his jacket. So the rest of the concert was fun besides the stupid song they "sang" with the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. She wasn't there in real life but on the giant screen behind them lame... Donnie was really funny and there closing song was Hangin Tough and they all had on their Celtics jerseys b/c you know they love Boston. When we left we went out by the tunnel that leads into the coliseum and girls were all around so we went and had a look. There were people milling about and I realized some of them were Jabbawockeez. So I had to start yelling at them to "Just Dance, it will be okay" (lady Gaga people) and some other dumb things. It was funny and they were laughing too and taking video of me yelling at them to dance b/c we missed them. Look for it on youtube. And then it was over, see you again in 20 years in your wheelchairs NKOTB.
Also they could have just used robots for Danny and Jonathan it was like they weren't even there.

We went to the doctor for Millie's 6th month check-up, she is weighing in at 14lbs and 14 oz and is 25 3/4 inches long. Right now long and lean but the way she has been eating she may end up being a hoss. We started her on for real solids last week and she is lovin her some apples, sweet potatoes, and recently squash.(Don't worry her food is all organic, my baby don't eat no pesticides.) Today we fed her squash in the morning and at night and after her 6 oz bottle before bed she demanded 3 more oz, if this keeps up she will look like this...
This weekend we will attempt to make our first batch of baby food with our newly acquired food mill. We make a big batch of food then put it in ice cube trays and freeze it for later which is so much cheaper in the long run. I am scared however of when we get to making more complicated meals such as Umm gross I am not "making" baby food ham, the color of that stuff looks ill na na I can't imagine grinding ham up into a smooth consistency. Millie is also getting some more hair which is exciting for me since I was bald until age 3 and do not wish that fate upon my child. It is coming in on the sides which may pose a problem when she looks like an 80-year-old man with just hair on the sides. Girl best like hats.

Yes there have been a lack of updates, I apologize whole-heartily but I was the sickest I have ever been in my life two weeks ago and just busy in general. But we did give Millie her fist solid food two nights ago. As you can tell from the pictures she wasn't that into it, but if you tried it (and I did) you wouldn't be into it either. Rice cereal is gross so we are going to move on to something a bit tastier when the snow peaces out and we can leave the house. Yes lil' ol' Richmond got snow like 7 freaking inches of it. Chip attempted to sled down our driveway but it is too powdery and he went nowhere. Millie didn't seem to mind it but the Oscar and Kevin were not having it, Obi loved it and was playing in it.

Millie will be 6 months old this week, I still can't believe how much she has grown and changed in such a short time. I also can't fathom how much I love her, seriously you can never imagine how much you will love your lil' booger until you experience it.

She has not caught on to rolling over still. She gets from her back to her tummy but then cries about it. I have tried letting her cry to figure it out but that lasts about 1 minute before I succumb to her tears and help her. We go to the doc next week so I can give you her latest stats then.

In other new I am going to see NKOTB in two weeks and we got floor seats! I figured I am old enough to buy the good seats so I should no matter the cost. Obviously I am not old enough to know better. At least I didn't go on the NKOTB cruise, but I thought about it...
