June is so close to July

So here we are, another month down and another month closer to Marley being one! Seriously, this needs to slow down a bit.

So a lot has happened this month and we have so much to tell about! Marley is such an amazing little star! I have so many milestones and such I hope I can get them all down because she really is so much fun!

Last week, Ely and Sebasthian brought down Benji and had a weekend getaway. This was fun for Marley to meet Benji for the second time but actually get to interact with each other with no spit up involved. ;) Benji is such a happy giggly soul that I kinda was jealous Marley doesn't really laugh a lot. If I get her to laugh its a HUGE accomplishment and I have to keep trying but it bores her and its no longer laughable. WELL, she has really come out of her shell lately and laughs when she is being tickled or having super amounts of fun (like thrown into the air) so we are sure enjoying these moments! (I think Benji coaxed her into thinking laughing as cool ;) )

She is also a super star at walking now. At first, it was a little difficult and she would take a few steps and eventually was walking all over the house in circles! She is mastering the turning while walking and even being able to stand back up in the middle of the floor after falling! This is HUGE! I really thinks she likes to show off because she does all these mind blowing things during the middle of church and takes off with it! Today, she was a little wound up so TJ had her walk all the way around the church and when she saw me she tried RUNNING to me. Yes, running. Calm down there buddy, lets get this walking thing under control first. ;)

Have I ever mentioned I was a dancer? Well, she sure has inherited some of my skills and that is: Dancing, and kissing....but...haha, anyways. She is such a cute dancer, she likes the intro song of House and will shake her little booty back and forth. She has even gone above and beyond and can dance now without holding on to couches or tables! She thinks she is funny and when people notice and giggle with us, Marley will clap her hands. She is so proud of herself! We were singing a hymn today and she was standing there dancing...it was pretty cute and hard to follow with the rest of the song; she is going to go places with her dance moves (hopefully off to ballet like her momma!)

And on to the kissing; when Marley first learned kisses she did not give them out for free. In fact she gave them out like maybe once or twice and you had to REALLY get her attention and maybe even a cheerio. ;) But as of lately she will give everyone kisses! She sure is not shy of that so we just have to be careful of all those boys she chases at the park! ;) Its really cute because she will be heading to bed and I just ask for a kiss and she will walk over and plant a big slobbery loving kiss on you...maybe even a few extras! She then proceeds to wave and smile as she is ushered off to bed. Cute kid.

She has been excellent at sleep time and loves her naps, I think she sleeps better now and takes better naps now than when she was a newborn! She always has to have her Bobo and her Fluffy with her so if we ever loose those we are going to be hunting for look-a-likes! Haha!

Marley isn't much of a talker but she is getting more out there and trying really hard; she has said "rah" (short for Hooray and then throws her hands in the air--its pretty cute and a trick Granny M showed her). And most recently she learned how to get daddy to work, by saying "Go" and he takes off running with her. I'm sure he will not enjoy that as much sooner than later, haha!

This month we have a few events coming up like our second anniversary! I'm sure I will be blogging about events soon for that and then of course Fathers day!

But honestly, where has the time gone. This 11 month old is such a joy and so adventurous, I just cant believe my eyes on what a beauty she is. So full of love and fun its just the package TJ and I needed to complete or family. I am sure whenever another baby decides to join us Marley will stun us all and be an amazing helper, and show off to the little victim. ;) She is so amazing, I really just cant get over that fact of what a blessing she has been in our family and marriage. She has only been around less than a year but I feel like I have been with her for so much longer! (Though I would appreciate it if she stopped referring to food as 'mama' haha)

I guess this is it for now, here are some photo's of some adventures we have had (I'm sorry I am awful at using my camera, I forget about it because she isn't a fan...too much paparazzi when she couldn't move; now that she can she hits the road!)

Enjoy! Until next time! (I'm sure there will be a post for our Anniversary/Fathers day since those are special days too ;) )

We got Marley some new kicks and I just had to get a jogging outfit she can wear with me.

Here she is showing off being super happy!

 Just enjoying some fun at the park! She LOVED this part and it wore her out so fast (win-win!)

 She isn't a fan of swinging on her own but loves it when she is with her daddy. Needless to say they had so much fun!

 She loved this 'area' she would play with it, turn around to climb up the step, turn back around and play more. She loves making the wheel go everywhere. Hopefully we can help her realize it doesn't go all over all the time before she is driving age. ;)

We were really impressed she could climb up these huge steps. As you can tell it's as tall as her almost! But she wanted to play with daddy and the little boy on the slides. Chasing boys already, we are so in trouble!

 Here is her 11 month shot!

Happy June!
