Sue and Noel Radford’s daughter Millie shared an adorable photo of Ophelia on Instagram Stories.
The photo showed the little girl with a big grin on her face, wearing a veil, probably the dress she wore when she went wedding dress shopping with her mother for her upcoming nuptials.
“Recently feeling so proud of our little Ophelia,” Millie wrote at the top of the Instagram story.
“She’s doing so well without her pacifier (yes, I know, she’s almost four and she’s only just now able to go without a pacifier).”

She is also no longer bottle-fed and “has done a great job helping her brother get used to the nursery.”
Millie also tagged his fiancée Harley in the post and, clearly equally proud, shared it to his own Instagram Stories.
It’s been a busy few months for the Radford family, with Millie and Harley’s upcoming wedding.
Millie’s mother Sue was the one who let the date slip, as she was promoting the latest series of the family’s reality show, 22 Kids and Counting.
“There’s a lot of stuff in this series,” Sue said OK! magazine.
“It will show Noel’s adoption story, Millie’s engagement is very exciting – the wedding should be sometime later this year – and Katie’s gender reveal is coming up.”
Harley popped the question during the Radford family’s trip to Disneyland in Florida in April.
But a blunder almost caused everything to go wrong.
Sue and Noel reflected on the proposal in a recent episode of the show, with Noel saying: “Harley was a bit strange, wasn’t he?
“It was like, ‘What is he doing?’ He wasn’t his normal self.”
Sue added: “You could tell he clearly had something on his mind.”
That night, Harley got down on one knee, but dropped the diamond ring.
What is the NHS advice on when to stop wearing dummies?
MILLIE Radford’s daughter is almost four and has only just weaned herself off her pacifier.
But when SHOULD you stop your child using a pacifier, according to the NHS?
“If you choose to use a pacifier, you should gradually wean off the pacifier between 6 and 12 months to avoid potential long-term problems associated with pacifier use (such as ear infections or misaligned teeth),” the health organization said on its website.
Millie also shared that Ophelia has only just been weaned off the bottle.
But the NHS says bottle feeding should be discouraged once your baby is one year old.

Luckily, his future wife could see the humor in it. She laughed and said that it was “just typical” for Harley to do something like that.
Sue and Noel later reflected on the upcoming wedding. Sue said: “It’s so exciting, this is something big for us.
“We just hope Millie doesn’t turn into bridezilla!”
Noel laughed, “Can you imagine?”
