My Sweet Baby

Marley is about to turn 1. Hard to believe I know! She is walking, into everything she's not supposed to be, a ripper of catalogs and a slammer of toilet bowl lids. She likes to talk on mommy's phone, get into mommy's purse and wallet and take mommy's car keys. And...she has the attitude of a 2 year old; temper tantrums and crying when she doesn't get her way. Her favorite word is YUCK! Marley loves to color and orders off the kid's menu in a resturant. In a nutshell, my baby isn't really a baby anymore...she's a toddler.

So imagine my surprise when I turned around from the computer desk and saw this... She hasn't used her bouncer in ages, and truth be told she's probably too heavy and she's definitely too long for it.
And when she got up and walked away I thought she was done...but then she came back and I saw this...

She turned on the music and vibration and just relaxed

So even though she loves to play in her tunnel, with her dollhouse, read her books and snuggle and give kisses to her babydolls, and even though she scoffs at the thought of baby food...

Maybe, just maybe, there is still a little bit of baby in my baby
