Changes...

How about the new layout!! Thanks a ton to Marley's Auntie Em for making it for us! I am thrilled that we get to debut it tonight :)

There's been quite a bit going on around here. Aunt Amy came to visit Easter weekend. She's not much into pictures and refuses to ever look at the camera but I snapped one anyway.


And here she is sleeping in her Easter outfit. She's got a little Elvis lip curl goin' on.


Then Marley and I went to the beach with Fancy. I thought it would be a great way to spend her 1 month birthday. What a way to celebrate...with sand between her toes! Unfortunately it was WAY too cold to put her feet in the sand for the first time. We only went to the beach one out of the 3 days we were there and this is what she looked like...


I know, you can't even see her...but seriously people...it was COLD!!

Then Pop came to visit with Uncle Lee. I feel terrible for Pop...it was a weekend spent soothing a screaming Marley (we think she's having some gas and reflux issues). Put there were some tender moments. Here is Marley reading some books with her Mazurek Men...Uncle Lee seemed to disapear from the frame when the camera came out...Pop brought her The Poky Little Puppy (Brett, Auntie Em and Uncle Lee's favorite growing up) and Pat the Bunny to add to her extensive book collection. As Pop said, reading is in her genes!


Here's a calm moment with Pop...


And one other special moment...


Other than that we've just been hangin' out. Marley has started to play with us and it's quite fun! She has been playing under her activity gym and sitting in her Bumbo chair. She's responding to us all the time by smiling, "talking" and laughing and she's already rolling over from her tummy to her back (so much for tummy time). She will lay on her tummy for a little while and pick up her head but when she's done she rolls herself over! Unbelievable! She amazes me more and more everyday! Here are some pics...

Happy in the Bumbo


Not so happy in the Bumbo


Getting ready for one of our many outings

Chillin' with the Rosie girl


Nappin' with the Jasper Dog I've got some videos to post also but they'll come later. She had her 1 month appt with the pediatrician on Monday and all's great! She's grown 2 inches and gained a pound and a half, that makes her a whopping 23 inches long (97th%) and 9lbs. 15oz. (75th%). Fancy says she's built JUST like I was :) This means she's long and lean which is great but it also means that it's going to be a B***H trying to buy her pants as she gets older.
I think that's it for now...Little Miss is telling me she wants to eat...check back though in a day or two. She has her follow up appointment with the cardiologist, I've got tons more pics and of course the videos.
On a final note...look at the stellar pic Daddy took (with Mommy's BIG camera) of Mommy and Marley...and yes...I got what is often referred to as a "Sassy Mom Haircut" :)

Marley, what a nice and talented Aunt you have!! She must really love you for making you such a pretty blog! Hehe.

I love how alert she already is in so many of her pictures! She just gets more and more adorable with each picture that I see! (We sure got lucky with our cute baby girls!) We cant wait to see you guys in a month! I am telling Kaley all about her cousin Marley (oh yeah and her Aunt Bethany and Uncle Brett too). Love you guys!
