Conga

Marlo loves this musical card that her Aunt Shannon, Uncle Derek and cousins Daryl, Ryder, Calvin and Sven sent her for her birthday.

She's always loved dancing but the moves that start at about 0:12 are the best I've seen from her so far. The head turn with the body swoop is amazing.  Who would have thought that the Miami Sound Machine would get her grooving.

Paper Bed

Today did not go as planned.  We were suppose to have hosted Marlo's birthday party but instead we spent the day with the flu.  Both Marlo and Daddy got hit pretty hard.  Marlo had a few perky moments and played a little.  This is a really cute video of her playing with some paper from a birthday gift from Aunt Wawa (Sharla).

Poor little thing is so tired she just decided to make a bed out of the gift wrap and lay down.

Marlo is 1!

Dinner with Marlo

A bowl full of giggles.


Dinner conversation and eating like a big kid (almost)


Marlo is getting used to her straw cup. I love her reaction to the bit of juice she drizzles on her shirt (.38-.48).  We are officially done with bottles and formula! She's made the transition to sippy cups and milk without a problem. Yay!

Brush

Crawl!

Finally!  Marlo is crawling! I really thought she was going to skip right to walking but she's been practicing a real crawl and is finally using it.

Push Cart

I couldn't stand it... we already gave Marlo one of her birthday presents from Grandma and  Grandpa Gus.  She LOVES it and wants to play with it ALL day!


Daddy figured out how to make it dangerous... We didn't read the instructions but I'm sure they specifically say not to do this.

Snot.

We are seriously loosing the battle with snot!

SNOW DAY!

Our neighbors built us a tiny snowman!

Chores

New pics

Marlo's snotty nose and the fact that she attacks the camera whenever I get it out have put a damper on pics over the last week. Here are a few cute ones.
