Hap Birt Time!

My sweet Marley is now 6 months old! She is 12lbs. and 25 1/2 inches tall! She is growing so smart and big and beautiful! She has only said one word so far but it is only a matter of days before more come out! She is trying so hard to voice her opinion! We celebrated her Hap Birt with Grammie and Dangran and MaKieley! For all of you who do not know what a Hap Birt is - It is a half birthday! The six month point between birthdays! We celebrate these in our family. No presents usually. Just dinner together with as much family as we can get together and half a cake and a card or half a card has been known to show up!

Marley is still small (just now fitting good into her 0-3 month clothing) but she is all lung from shoulder to hip! She makes sure everyone knows she is around and she has something to say about things too. She still loves showers (she really does not like baths at all)! She loves books especially ones with shiny pictures in them! She thinks she is as big as her Big Sis a lot of the time! She is pretty generous with her smiles and she is starting to laugh more and more! She loves to eat! In fact if anyone is eating around her she thinks she should be eating as well! We were at some friends house the other night eating pizza and that is all she wanted. We tried baby food and nursing and her sippy cup but nothing worked! We cut the pizza off of the crust and gave her the crust - she was perfectly content!
She is a Momma's girl! When she is tired I can take her and she calms down, places her head in the crook of my neck (where the neck and shoulder connects) and goes to sleep. She will not do this for anyone else. John gets frustrated sometimes when she is really upset and I take her and she calms down! He always says, "Why won't she do that for me!" and I remind him that things were just the opposite with MaKieley! That girl is a Daddy's girl through and through!
Well time flies when you're having fun I guess! I just want to cherish each moment I have with both of my girls!
