8 months...

Eight Months – January 24, 2014






How has it been eight months?! 
Marley weighs 17lbs. and is 27 1/2in. long.
Every month seems to become more and more fun.  Marley is EVERY WHERE!  She is sitting, crawling and rolling all over the place.  She is never still!  She even dove off the chair I had her in to take her 8 month pictures.  Fortunately she got stuck head down between the chair and ottoman and came up laughing! She hates for you to hold her.  All she wants is to be on the move!  Even in her crib we watch her move from ribbon to ribbon untying her bumper. 
She laughs, giggles and smiles nonstop!  I never thought those first 3 months that I would ever have a happy child!
One of her favorite times is bath time!  Adam gives her baths when he’s home and it’s one of his favorite times.  She has no problem with water in her face and loves to splash! 
She will eat anything!  We’ve found nothing she didn’t like (well for 1 night she didn’t like squash).  She’s even gotten really good at picking up her yogurt bites and feeding herself! 
Sammy has become her best friend!  Sammy is a little more comfortable around her…a little.  But wherever she is…Marley is headed there!  

I love you Marley Scout!

Bath time...

Bath time is one of Marley’s favorite times of day!  I’m pretty sure that Adam and I enjoy it just as much just watching her laugh and play.  Since birth she has loved baths.  Adam has always given her her baths.  It’s their bonding time.  In my opinion he kind of manhandles her, but she doesn’t mind at all.  Water in her face…no problem.  For Christmas Santa put some bath toys in her stocking and she loves them, and now that she can sit up she can play so much better.  We just love listening to her squeal and watching her splash around!

Hmmmm....


What is this on Marley’s cheeks, forehead and nose?  A rash…nope.  An allergic reaction…nope. 
Sunburn?!  NOPE!
That would be carpet burn!  Yes, you heard me right…carpet burn.  She’s really working hard on crawling and we’ve got everything down except one crucial part…picking you face up off the ground! 
Poor baby!
