6 months...

Marley is 6 months old!

She is 27 inches tall and in the 90^th. percentile for height!  WHAT?!  She weighs 14.4 lbs. and is in the 25^th percentile for weight…tall and skinny!  (No wonder she still fits in 0-3 month clothes in the waist, but they’re quickly becoming high-waters!

Last Thanksgiving we told our families we were expecting, and here we are this year celebrating with a 6 month old!

Marley has become so much fun!  She is rolling and rolling and rolling!  She laughs and giggles and loves to play in her exersaucer and on her play mat.  Sammy has also become something really cool to watch. 

Last week we began eating cereal and applesauce.  She LOVED it!  Adam couldn’t get it to her mouth fast enough!

We can’t wait to see what this little “turkey” has in store for us this next 6 months!

Marley's First Halloween - 2013

Marley’s first Halloween was fun, well interesting is a better word to describe it!

Marley and Sammy had a costume together...Sammy was “Thing 1” and Marley was “Thing 2”.  

Then on Halloween Marley had a party at Miss Rhonda’s.  She was a cute little lady bug for school!  

 We even had to bring tator tots…I know…Marley doesn’t eat yet, but everyone had to bring something!

After school Adam and I couldn’t wait for Trick-or-Treaters to come and Marley to see all the kids dressed up.  We walked down the street to a little party that was going on and watched the kids walk up and down the street…then things got interesting!

We took Marley inside and put her in her exersaucer.  I looked down and noticed Marley was choking…I can’t explain the fear that ran through Adam and I.  We jumped up and grabbed her and she began crying…weakly.  We knew something still wasn’t right because then she began acting as if she couldn’t swallow.  Adam called Miss Rhonda (who keeps Marley everyday) and she was at our house in 3 minutes.  She grabbed Marley and immediately got her to calm down.  It seems that she had a tummy full of gas and a burp was stuck in her throat.  Rhonda stayed for over an hour until Marley was all better!  We loved Miss Rhonda before, but now I can’t explain the love and respect Adam and I both have for her!

Needless to say, Adam nor I slept very well…but at least Marley’s first Halloween will go down as quite memorable!

Five Months...

Thursday, October 24, 2013 Marley turned 5 months old!  She weighs 13lbs. and is 25in. long. 

Her newest thing is to roll…EVERYWHERE!  Unfortunately, this causes us to lose a little sleep because she is constantly rolling into the side of the crib!  (I have come to the conclusion in the past 5 months that sleep is indeed overrated.)

Adam and I are loving this age!  She is always smiling and “talking”.  She is definitely a people watcher like her mommy!  Everywhere we go she is just completely mesmerized by everything going on around her.  

We’re ready to see what 6 months has to hold…

Baylor Homecoming Parade 2013

Every year growing up I always watched the Baylor Homecoming Parade with my parents.  Well, this was one tradition I couldn’t wait to continue with Marley.

Unfortunately, Adam had to work so Friday I made my first solo trip to Waco with Marley in tow.  Thanks to the ipad and the Scooby Doo Pirate movie Adam downloaded (I requested Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and he choose a scary pirate Scooby Doo, but whatever!) we made it with no issues!

Saturday morning we got up early and braved the COLD weather to watch the parade.  Marley LOVED it!  She did great the entire parade!

I can’t wait until next year when she understands a little more what is going on!

 

Pumpkin Village

Today PawPaw Kraig and Grammy Carol came down and took us to Pumpkin Village at the Dallas Arboretum.  I have always wanted to go and this year with Marley it was just perfect!  She was so busy watching all the kids running around and staring at all the pumpkins.  She was absolutely perfectly behaved! 

I couldn’t have been prouder!

I can’t wait to make this a yearly tradition!
