It is 8:15 and I only have a few minutes as Marley will be waking up any second now and she will be hungry! She is sleeping so good...going down at 10 and waking up to eat only twice in the night (at 1 or 2 and then again at 4 or 5)and then sleeping until about 8 or 9. Talking to friends and reading, she should be sleeping through the night soon, so I think this weekend we will try putting her in her crib and seeing if she can get herself back to sleep without eating in the middle of the night. Its going to be so hard for us to listen to her cry and not do anything, but its what we have to do and supposedly it will only last a couple nights and then she will be sleeping through the night. I'll keep you posted on how that goes :)Marley took her first plane ride to Oregon last weekend and it was a weekend of firsts! She rolled over and started talking (well "cooing" as they call it)! We even got a few laughs outta her :) The flight there was perfect. Well Marley was perfect...the flight wasnt! We bought a direct flight so that we wouldn't have to takeoff and land more than once but there was a fuel leak in the plane next to us at takeoff and as soon as we got in the air, the flight attendants were immediately sick because of the fumes that had seeped in through the vents. We had to emergency land in LA. Didn't phase little Marley though...she was so good. Seriously, we had so many people compliment us on our baby and how "she didn't make a peep". Unfortunately, the flight home was a different story, but only because the poor girl was exhausted and teething!
Oregon was great. The first day we got in at 11 and dad picked us up and took us to McMennamins in Oregon City for lunch. The picture above is of Marley spitting up on dad when he was holding her :) And then he put her to work at the office for awhile before we headed to his house for some down time before heading to moms house. We only went to moms for a little while but Marley didn't waste any time....she rolled over for her first time at exactly 14 weeks at moms!!! This was a great moment and we took a video of it too! Matt joined us and met Marley for the first time...that was really cool...I had been most excited for that moment! Friday we went over to Danielle and Jays to hang with the Hartgraves all day. Gavin adores Marley...it was so so so cute. JJ is older now and loved her too but Gavin was all about her! He even wanted to feed her from his boob lol! We had to explain why he couldn't which was hard to makes sense for a 3 year old, but he got it :)
Saturday we had a potluck at dads house and invited all of our friends to stop by to meet Marley and hang out. Paul and Ashley from college came with their son Camden who is 8 months...exactly 5 months older than Marley. He was a super cutie lil minnie me of Paul. The corvallis crew came - ang, blake & angela & ethan, lindsey & mike, Liana & dan came, Lani brought her kiddos and i met them for the first time...Lili and garret SO cute and big! they are 8 and 10 and she is my age! Bobbi and Madison came which was super cute because Madison says she is "like Marleys big sister" :) Some of Marges family came over...her mom Georgia and sister Christie. It was a great group of people...we had a lot of fun!
Sunday was a big day. We met mom and matt at Maryville nursing home to introduce marley to her great grandma lucy for the first time! Grandma Lucy is a very special person to me and always has been. Since I can remember, every good memory I have is with my grandma lucy! She is not going to be with us much longer so making sure that Marley at least got to meet her was very very important to me. To make it even more special, Molly Milan my godmother was there too which made me so happy. I remember sitting in mass that morning feeling overwhelmed with joy and happiness and most of all LOVE...Marley is so lucky to have the people she does in her life!!!!
