two-thirds of a year




Eight months ago we welcomed our Marnie Jayne into the world. It's been so fun having her around. At 8 months, Marnie:
*loves her brother and is thrilled that she's mastered crawling {so he can't escape her} :)
*has started waving when someone says "hi" or "bye-bye"
*claps when someone says "pat-a-cake"
*has decided that she thinks she can walk (although, she really can't quite yet)
*has explored nearly every inch of our house
*signs a few words (more, milk) and shakes her head 'no'
*has 2 teeth, and has only bitten me once (on my big toe, of all places...)
*LOVES bath time and squeals with delight when she hears the water running in the tub
*isn't a fan of baby food (which is a challenge because I'm used to Britt, who ate everything we ever gave him), but she's always willing to sample whatever Britt is eating (string cheese, pasta, cheerios, oreos, etc.)
*is a very sweet, cuddly, and full of smiles :)

That picture of her with the ladybug pjs is my favorite! What a beautiful little girl. I can't picture her moving around--it'll be fun to see her and Emelyn together in just a few weeks!

I love her! She is so adorable! She is getting so big and I need to come see her! Her hair is getting so light! She looks like a little red head! I love all of the pictures of her and her bright smile!
