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!

Four months...

Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Marley turned 4 months old…I can’t believe it!

 Below is a few shots of what it takes to get 1 good picture at 4 months old!

and we're done...

At her appointment today she weighed 11 lbs. 6 oz. (30^th. percentile), and she is 24 3/4in. tall (75^th. percentile).   

So she gets tiny from mommy but height definitely from daddy!

She can hold her head up really well and loves to play with her rings.  She has also become VERY TALKATIVE!  She talks to her toys, to us and to anything that is in her eyesight…I think we might be in trouble in a few months!  Her feet have also become one of her favorite toys.  She’s been sleeping 8:30pm-6:15pm since about a month old and now goes back to sleep after she eights at 6:15 until 8 or 9…we got VERY lucky!   

(Too bad she still doesn’t like to nap!)

We LOVE her ladies that take care of her during the day (Miss Rhonda and Miss Zena)…they love her and take such good care of her.

What have we learned in the past 4 months…

1.  sleep is overrated

2.  we will never again be alone…(we were actually without Marley together for the first time since she was born and it was to go to The Dollar Store in Center, Texas…woohoo!)

3.  our baby cries…a lot…and we’re over it

4.  we love each other more now than before…

Happy Birthday Adam!

This Saturday was Adam’s 33^rd. birthday.  Unfortunately, he had to work all weekend, but Marley and I still tried to make it a great one for him!

We got to meet him at work for lunch on Saturday and then we made him a Strawberry Shortcake Cake and gave him some cards.   

We hope that he had a great day and knows how much he is loved and appreciated!

Happy Birthday Adam (AKA Daddy)!

We LOVE you!
