Sunday February 22nd 2009










I am completely exhausted right now but I need to catch-up...hard to do with a little girl who is growing up way too fast! I just had the family over today for a brunch to celebrate Lori's birthday. It was a lot of fun! I have been baking all day long so I am super tired and FULL!
Marley is 3 months old! She is turning into such a gorgeous little GIRL. No longer a baby. She has a cute little personality, is mostly super mellow and chill, but is not afraid to show us who is the little boss when she is hungry! We went bowling again last night...she loves it! Everyone always comments on how alert she is. She certainly likes to study her world and take it all in. The past couple of weeks have been jammed pack with fun....G daddy joe and G mama marge came to visit for Valentines day and we had a lot of fun. We went to a couple really nice restaurants and ourlittle angel held her own again. We know that when we walk in people are thinkin "oh shit a baby!" but then we get nothing but compliments...its fun! We know to appreciate this time though because soon enough she will be crawling under tables and throwing food on the floor screaming her head off :)
Marley has discovered her hands just in these last couple of weeks and loves to grab any and everything and stick it in her mouth. We think she might even be starting to teeth. Its early, but our daughter does everything early so we are not surprised! She is starting to laugh too which is my favorite! She tries anyways! Its more like a cough but you can tell she is trying to mimic our laugh. SUPER CUTE! Her morning stretches are still the best ever! She takes her time waking up, stretching, moaning, slobbering....it always gives me flashes of her as a teenager who sleeps in until 3 in the afternoon and you still have to wake them up :)
Well, gotta go for now...Marley just woke up and wants mommy :)

Saturday February 7th 2009





Its almost noon and we are all still in bed! I remember telling Greg "I can't for the day we will be snuggling in bed with our daughter!" and here I am :) And it's even better than I imagined! I can't believe what an amazing little girl we have. Me and Greg are both on the same page as far as wanting to maintain our lifestyle and not holding back just because we have a baby and it feels so good that we are actually able to dot it. Last weekend we went for a 5 mile hike with Marley in the backpack and last night we took her bowling! She just chilled and looked around. Everyone always tells us how amazingly alert she is for her age. She really takes it all in and Im convinced that the more places she goes the more she is learning about her world! I was the proudest mommy last night because even after bowling we were able to come home and have friends over for some drinks and board games and Marley just kicked it and watched all of us. She never once demanded attention and was perfectly content with herself...even though we were right there. She totally holds her own! Our baby literally never cries. We are sooooo lucky because she is just happy and mellow and the most perfect little girl we could ever ask for! For now anyways :)
