Good hair day

Guitar Licks

go baby go!

Marlo has final figured out that her flailing legs need to have contact with the ground if she is going to propel her self forward.  Here's a little clip of her frantic motion that will hopefully progress to a scoot or crawl.  She's did fairly well until she was distracted by a piece of grass on the floor.  We've been teaching her not to put the "yucks" she finds on the floor in her mouth. She's doing really well and almost always hands them to me instead of eating them.

Doggy and pig.

Doggy.


Pig.



And just to demonstrate it's wasn't an accident...

Wind in my hair

I like the patterns the wind makes in Marlo's ultra fine hair.  She didn't seem to mind.

Reading

It's really cute how much Marlo loves books.  She will pick one of her favorite books and "read" for more than 15 or 20 minutes.




(This video is long- and not very action packed- I was just amazed at how long the book held her attention)

She really studies the pictures and likes to practice turning the pages.

TGIF

Marlo and I had a long day today.

Here she is at work.

It looks like she has the same attitude towards math as I do.

She fell asleep in the car while running our errands.  I hung out in the car for 25 minutes in the Target parking lot because I could stand to wake her up.

Picture is upside down because I had to reach around the back seat to take it.  (And I can't figure out how to edit it on my phone)

She rode in the shopping cart for the first time.

It was one of those "geez you are small" moments.

Under 2

Under

Marlo loves to roll and scoot around until she can get under the furniture.

Old pics

I scrolled through all the pictures on Sean's phone and found some old ones that I hadn't seen.  Cutey!

Swinger

We went on a nice walk on the Mueller trail yesterday. Afterwards we stopped by the playground so Marlo could swing in the baby swing.


Here's Marlo practicing some new modern dance moves in her Johnny Jump Up swing.  Making her Mama proud.

The little hand gesture and spin at 22 seconds is so graceful and full of intent... the crash into the couch right after... not so much.

Finger Food

Marlo is practicing her fine motor skills by trying to pick up and eat little bits of banana.  She's doing fairly well and when she can't get her little fingers to cooperate she comes up with another technique for getting the banana bit in her mouth.  It might be cheating but we'll call it problem solving.
