7 Months Old!

Wow, Marin has grown and changed so much in the past month! Pretty much as soon as I finished the last post, she started really crawling and now she is unstoppable. She gets into EVERYTHING and we constantly have to chase after her. She has really discovered her voice and is becoming more and more vocal every day. Unfortunately, she LOVES to let out loud high pitched screams and screeches ALL the time which leaves our ears ringing... She recently learned to wave, which is the cutest thing ever (she likes to wave at everything... people, her bottle, walls, TV, cars, etc :). She is still a great sleeper at night, sleeping from about 7-7:30pm to 6:30am most nights. She continues to work on growing those little teeth; she currently has 3 on top and 2 on the bottom. It is so fun watching her cute little personality develop and she is such a sweetie!

Busy, busy, busy all the time!

Right after she started crawling, she started kneeling...

She discovered there was all kinds of stuff for her to get into!

She started doing this...

and this... so we had to move the mattress down a level.

Now she LOVES to stand and is constantly pulling herself up... next comes walking!

Lovin' some cheerios!

Such a cutie!

Our 6 month sweetie :)

Our little princess is 6 months old already! She seems to get smarter and bigger by the day; I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast! Her 6 month stats are: 17lbs, 14oz and 24 inches long. She is so sweet and we love her so much!

She is doing a great job of sitting on her own!

She is on the move! Not quite real crawling most of the time (she would rather scoot most of the time) but she can get anywhere she wants to go and get into anything she wants to get into :)

She has fun exploring EVERYTHING and we are quickly learning what needs to be baby proofed!

She loves looking out the window.

Eeyore + Marin = Best Friends

She is starting to love her solid foods! Her favorites are carrots and bannanas!

5 months!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 5 months old! Time is just flying by and Marin is growing like crazy. We are beginning to feel more and more comfortable with the whole parenting thing and Marin makes it so easy by being such a great baby. She is learning so much and she just amazes us every day! She is getting SO big (4 month stats: 15lbs 7oz, 25 inches long) and already has 2 teeth! She has been sleeping 10-12 hours straight at night which is such a blessing!She is always trying to become more independent and is extremely interested in whatever is happening around her. She has been rolling around since she was just over 3 months old and is still trying to master sitting independently. She is scooting around like crazy and can get her hands on just about anything she wants; I'm sure she'll be crawling in no time. She loves to "talk", and her smile and laugh are completely infectious :) She loves to give hugs and kisses, which are so slobbery but so wonderful :) We love our baby girl SO much and are so happy to be her parents!

Trying to sit by myself!

Abs of steel!

Rolling around!

It is quite entertaining to watch her roll around the living room and get stuck on things :)

I love tummy time now!

We started feeding Marin solids at 4 months old; she seems to finally be liking her rice cereal.

Surprisingly, she does not like fruits and veggies very much. The only rhing she likes so far is bananas.

She loves to suck on EVERYTHING... especially her fingers and toes.

We still love to go for walks and Marin finally tolerates wearing her sunglasses!

My first 4th of July!

"Teething bites!"

Mommy and Marin

So pretty!

I love to play... sometimes I wear myself out!

Lovin' her teddy!

So flexible!

Such a precious baby girl! I'm so lucky to be her mama!

2 Month Stats!

Marin had her 2 month check-up the other day and she is growing like a weed! She was 11lbs 13oz (50%) and 24 1/2 inches long (97%)! I had to pack away all of her 0-3 month clothes the other day because she could no longer straighten out her little legs in them! She is getting better at sleeping during the night; she usually sleeps for a 6-7hr stretch at the beginning of the night and then is up every 2 hours after that. We can't wait till she sleeps all the way through the night! We can't believe she is growing so fast; we love her so much and are having so much fun watching her learn, play, and grow! She is such a good, sweet baby and we are truly blessed!

She LOVES her hands... she looks at them and sucks on them all the time!

She has the BEST smiles :)

Look at her hold that little head up! She is already starting to scoot around a bit... guess we might have to baby proof a little earlier than expected!

Holy Cow!

According to the scale in our bathroom the other day, Marin is just over 11lbs already. Ginger, our cat, is 18lbs (15 before the baby was born). I guess everyone in this house likes to eat!
