Well here we are and our little sweet pea is already 8 months old. Seriously where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday we were up in Michigan meeting her for the first time. But here we are with a little 8 month old girl who continually brightens our days! From the very beginning this little girl has had such a sweet spirit and as time has gone on – we’re discovering how curious, funny, smart, and fun she is!

So updates on our growing girl – Miss Marlee is no longer immobile… She has found her own unique way to “crawl” around and she’s pretty fast at it too. It’s a cross between “the worm” and breast stroke. She pushes up and forward and then belly flops down haha. She’s become quite the talker and babbles more and more. “Mama” is still her favorite to say, but she has also added “baba”, “gaga”, “papa”, “lala”, and on Tuesday she added “dada”. She’s always been a good eater and she’s tried just about all the individual baby foods now and moved into some mixed ones. She’s even tried puffs and has started to enjoy them too. She’s officially got her first two teeth popping through as of this week as well.  The two bottom ones in the front! She adores her doggies still and LOVES bathtime! She’s figured out how to splash and play with her toys while she’s in her little tub. And she super enjoys when My Little Pony is on the tv.

Not a day goes by that we don’t feel infinitely blessed to have this precious little girl in our lives. She truly brings us immense joy! Here’s a peek at our growing girl!
