Where's Marlo?

Toys Toys Toys!

Very curious about the tree.

Marlo's been pulling this duck around since she opened it.

I think this was Marlo's favorite Christmas moment.
A big wet Kiss from Jack.
All that Christmas excitement and hanging out with
Jack was the most exciting part for her. She learned how
 to make a strong "K" sound to represent his name
and has been talking about him for 2 days.

Ready to ride!

At the end of the day we still had a happy baby.  I'm so glad we made it through our
first Christmas with out a meltdown.

Brrr

24 degrees is cold for Texas!

T'was the night before Christmas

New Tricks

Marlo can show you where her teeth are, give a high five and tell you what a monkey says.





So many useful talents.

Mealtime Entertainment

Marlo likes to listen to music during mealtime.  Here she is singing and dancing at dinner yesterday







Marlo's new game is to hold her food over the floor and act like she's going to drop it.  Sometimes she does drop it but most of the time she follows instructions and eats it.  I'm sure soon enough she figure out that it's much more exciting to disobey.  This video's pretty funny because she follows my instruction not to drop the peas off the edge of the chair and then decides to try dropping them down into her lap.

Just another day

This video demonstrates so many things that are happening with Marlo these days. 

She is very mobile (and quick), she's expressing what she wants (and testing out what a cry will get her) and her pincer grasp is developing nicely (I think catching a small insect should be a new milestone).

I think it's pretty funny that if I tell her "yuck, don't put it in your mouth" she just turns so that she thinks I can't see her and gives it another try. 

Disclaimer: Normally if have to take something away from Marlo and she cries I don't give it right back to her, I'm not that much of a push over, but I was conducting a little research in infant Marlo behavior.

Go Baby!

Marlo is perfecting her combat crawl.
