Marley words

So let's see...I just figured out that "dat dat" means blanket. Biddy (Winky) is now Widdy. She says cup, Barbie, pop (lolly pop), "ta do" (thank you), "bubbies" (bubbles), "baw" (ball), and ta da! She loves letters. Last night she told us what each letter was on the STOP sign and said them in the correct order! So proud of my little girl! Great job Marley!!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Aunt Wanda and Uncle Max's house.

Thank you daughter

Yesterday would have been your Grandmother's (aka Nanu) 68th birthday. Thank you for celebrating with me and making the day bearable. We had Chinese food for lunch because Nanu loved Chinese food. We had an afternoon snack and watched inspector gadget and the smurfs. That's what Nanu and I used to do everyday when I got home from school. Then after dinner we had cake. These are the things that your Grandmother would have wanted us to do. She would not be happy with us if we had sat around and been sad all day. I miss her so much and I think you might too. You talk about her once in a while which makes me think you remember her. Here's a picture of you enjoying your cake :). I love you sweet baby girl!

Sharing

Her no share all that popcorn with me! Huh.

Ready to go?!

This was the morning we were leaving on our trip. Do they look ready to go?!?!

Basket case!

Purple Car

This was Devon's when he was about Marley's age now. She begged to ride in it every time we went over. So we brought it home and scrubbed it up. She doesn't like it!!!! Ugh!

Wow!

She was suspended in the air like this! Wish I could do that!!

Brother n Sister

2 generations!

Our Little Ballerina

What's happening?

The answer to that for Marley is A WHOLE LOT!
She is saying all kinds of words, started dance class, and had a wonderful visit with Aunt WANDA and Uncle Max over the weekend. Marley learned to say Wanda and was running around the house after her yelling her name. It was hysterical!

Little brothers are fun!

It's hard to see but Marley is pushing her doll stroller with her little brother in it! So cute! When I took him out she started crying and saying "peez minum!"

Favorite pastime

Books are Marley's favorite pastime!

Cheese!

Minum

So Marley has changed what she calls Liam.. just a little bit. It's now "Meeeenum". So I forgot to turn off the monitor after getting Liam. Marley just ran over to me yelling "Meeeenum!" with the monitor in her hand. So adorable. But the best part was that I was holding Liam!!!!
Kids are great!

Eating an apple

First time eating an apple in this form. She did a great job!
