The Party Pics

She was a little unsure, possibly overwhelmed, by the flame and singing.

To my surprise she was not really interested in the cupcake. Weird.

So many presents! And balloons (or "Baaboons" as Marlo calls them).

Opening her sweet baby doll.

Cohen helped unwrap.

Elowyn. BFF!

Calvin

It was a full house.

Cousin Lorelai.

Marlo's friend Maggie.

With Paw Paw and Cohen.

Meeting her newest friend, Violet.

What a fun time!  

Party Girl

Here's the birthday girl at her party.
She had so much fun and even wore her hat!
More pictures coming soon!

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!
