just back from the gym and had a great swim. I have been swimming because my bum knee is back :( but swimming has been so nice although my whole life I thought I could swim, but doing the freestyle correctly is frickin hard! I can't do the breathing correctly and I hyperventilate every time I put my head down lol! I am getting better though.
More huge developments for Marley!!! She is almost 6 months I can't believe it. She got her first two bottom front teeth and they are so cute. She is also (just for the past two nights) sleeping all the way through the night without even waking up to eat in the middle of the night. It couldn't be more perfect because I am barely hangin on with the breastfeeding...my goal is 6 months so 9 more days to go. I was kinda dreading having to make her a bottle in the middle of the night too, but I don't think I will have to know that my little angel is transitioning perfectly!
We went to Tempe this last weekend to see Dean, Sharla, Max and Jack. Marley was the best little girl as usual and did great. She LOVES her cousins so much and OMG do they adore her!! Jack got so attached that he cried for a day after she left :( He is such a sweetheart! He fed her bottles, held her and constantly told her that he loved her and gave her kisses. Made my heart melt. My first mother's day was so great!!
Marley got me a beautiful locket so that I could have her picture on me all the time :) Greg got a necklace, but he is going to make it into a charm bracelet for me...otherwise Marley would probably rip it off or eat it since she loves to chew and tear at anything around my neck. 
I swear she said mama on mothers day too!!! I got so many fun cards in the mail, text messages, emails and facebook postings from friends and family acknowledging my first mothers day which was very appreciated. Marge is so thoughtful....she heard me say that I didn't have any pearls when she was here visiting last month and sent me a beautiful set of pearl earrings and a necklace!!! I am very excited to see what mom sent...I haven't got it yet but I am sure it will be very special and she has been so excited for me to get it. Hopefully today.
Tempe was a lot of fun. We got in Thursday night and went straight to Jacksons baseball game. When we got home we ate a late dinner and had a couple drinks. Dean and Sharla had just finished a 30 day cleanse and I barely drink any more so we were doomed to wake up feelin it and we did! That didn't stop us from getting up early though and going for a nice morning walk...me, sharla and marley :) It was 90 degrees by 8 AM which made an iced starbucks halfway through very nice! Sharla and some of her girlfriends had made appointments at noon for reflexology and Sharla paid for mine as a birthday/mothers day present! It was so much fun!
It was me, sharla, and the three Lisas all in the same room for an hour of head to toe massage aaahhhhhhh that was so nice! My the time we got home it was time to get Marley down for her nap and get ready for the big "happy hour" Sharla had planned at the house. SO many people showed up with so much yummy food, drinks and conversation....it was very nice! At about 10 I was ready for bed and Sharla asked if I wanted to sneak off with her to the wine bar down the street. We jumped on a couple of their vintage bicycles and peddled our way there. We ended up at Casey Moores instead which is a very popular bar that we usually end up at. The two of us sat and talked...it was really nice to get that time with Shar!! Midnight rolled around and so I got to be the first to wish her HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Shortly after we headed home.
The next day was breakfast at Macks where Marley sat in her first highchair :) Then we headed next door to Hoodlums (the music store their friends had just opened) where Marley listened to the new Ben Harper CD on headphones, super cute! Then it was back to the house for some pool time. Marley's first time in a pool! It was pretty cold so she wasn't too happy about it at first but she loved it after awhile.
One other first we had this last week....Marley's first swing @ 5 1/2 months and she LOVES this. We have been going every day since :)
