Okay NOW its going by way too fast!Marley is 8 1/2 months, has 6 teeth, says "mama mama mama ma ma ma" all day long, holds herself up and stands by herself, and has graduated from sleepers to jammies :) It is amazing how much love I have for that little girl. I race home from the gym every morning knowing that she will be awake in her crib by the time I get home. When I open her bedroom door, she turns and looks for me with those big, bright, beautiful eyes that show her smile since her actual smile is hidden behind her binky :) I pick her up and squeeze her and smell her and kiss her and tell her how much I love her...awwwwww, it is absolutely the highlight of every day!!
Our routine is pretty much the same every day lately. On daycare days (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday) after I get home from the gym and snuggle Marley for a bit I make coffee for Greg and put on Sid the Science Kid for Marley (frickin awesome show btw!) and jump in the shower. I get dressed, feed Marley, get her dressed and we are out the door by 8 AM to head to "aunt Jan's" house! Jan is Marley's daycare provider who is amazing! She lives right down the street and most days Marley is the only one there so she gets tons of one-on-one time. Marley loves going to aunt Jan's and aunt Jan LOVES Marley! Marley is so chill and good. Jan says that she has still never cried!!! 
Greg gets home from work, goes for a run and then picks Marley up right about 5. In addition to Marley's 12 hours of sleep at night, she also takes a two hour nap in the morning and another in the afternoon. She wakes up from her afternoon nap right before 5, so then when Greg brings her home we all eat dinner, hang out, go for a walk, hang with the neighbors, and then at 7 its bottle, bath and books to be in bed by 8! Marley goes right to sleep when we put her down in the crib...such a good girl!Mike and Kate came to visit last month! We spent a lot of time at the beach that weekend. Marley loved them both, but especially her uncle Mike!! Everytime she saw him, she would get this cute grin on her face.
Marley has still shown no interest in crawling, let alone even being on her tummy and instead has become closer to walking than anything. I give her another month to two months to be walking and not sure she will ever crawl!
Not too many pictures this time. To be honest, I have been so consumed with starting a new job and transitioning Marley into daycare and just adjusting to a new life all together that I have not taken many pictures. BUT, I am going to do better at taking more and posting them consistently! I still need to figure out how to print this blog so that I can make it into a photo journal for Marley to have one day too...mmmmm if anyone reading this has any ideas, let me know! Thanks. xoxoxoxoxox Steph
