So many new things...

These stairs look so much fun!

Papa has the touch - sweet girl

Little wiggle worm!

So comfy!

I love to stand by myself!

This past weekend Rob and I went to Nashville to meet Matt and Ashley to hang out and go to the Keith Urban/Sugarland concert. We had a great weekend!

While we were in Nashville Marley stayed with her Nana and Papa. Needless to say her and Papa are big buddy's. Marley was also showing Nana and Papa the new things she has started doing. Like standing by herself, taking a couple steps, falling asleep on Papa (and Rob), and finding the stairs at Nana and Papa's for the first time.

Marley is definitely growing up. She loves to fake cough, laugh by herself and when your laughing, she will mock you and thinks that every time you are eating she needs to eat as well -she is definitely our little piggie. Marley is also saying dada, mama, nana, hi, bye and is trying very hard to say dog/doggie. Marley is also only having a bottle in the morning and at night time. The rest of the day she is using her big girl "sippy" cup! I don't know who it is going to be hard on giving up the night time bottle her or me!!! Before to long we will drop the morning bottle and then we will drop the night time bottle which will make me a sad momma - I know she will still have her "sippy" cup but it won't be the same! I know this is part of the process but Marley is still our little baby and it doesn't seem like we should already be doing these things. We just can't believe how much she changes and the new things she tries daily!

10 months old already...

Where in the world does the time go? I can't believe that Marley is already 10 months old and that we have already started to plan and prepare for her 1st birthday party. Marley is changing daily and is becoming such an independent little girl. She is crawling every where, cruising, pulling up on everything and will try to stand there by herself every once in a while. Marley is also trying to say new words, making new sounds daily and is definitely getting the cutest personality.

We finally made her start wearing shoes all day and she looks like such a big girl. I am so happy/excited that we are having another little one because Marley is definitely not a baby anymore. Rob and I can't believe how fast she has grown up. I will post more pictures soon! Sorry I have not done well on keeping the blog updated. Things have been crazy around here but I promise to do better!

Something was funny...

Even thought Marley isn't looking at the camera, I just had to share. We were outside playing in the yard one afternoon and she just kept laughing. I don't know if the grass was tickling her or what but whatever it was she thought it was too funny!

Guess What....

Baby Edwards 7 weeks and 1 day

Marley is going to be a big sister!!!! Our little family of 3 is fixing to turn into a wonderful family of 4. Rob and I found out I was pregnant on July 1st and went to our second doctor's appointment yesterday. We got to hear and see the baby's heart beat; which was amazing and the doctor said everything looks great! Baby Edwards is due March 8, 2009! We know that Marley is going to be a great big sister and lots and lots of help! We truly feel blessed.

To cute not to share...

Since the girls (Marley & Ellison) were born we would ask Parker where the baby's were and he would point at them. Now we are trying to teach him to say their names instead of saying baby. Well when Parker says Marley it sounds like he is saying Money so now we have been calling Marley, Money when Parker is around. It is just to precious hearing Parker say Marley (aka Money). Hopefully Money won't stick but for now it is just too cute!

On Saturday Nana, Papa, Uncle Adam, Aunt Angie, Parker and the three of us meet at the Downtown Brewery for lunch and then went to the zoo. The weather could not have been any better. Marley and Parker had a blast at lunch and at the zoo. Marley loved looking at all the animals, people, playing with Parker and the rest of the family. She even went on her first carousal ride which she absolutely loved. We had so much fun at lunch and the zoo with our family and are looking forward to our next trip!

4th of July...

Nana & Marley playing "patty cake"

We had a great 4th of July with our family and friends. Aunt Kathy and Lauren came for a visit and had a great time with everybody especially the kids. We had a shrimp boil, went swimming and hung out on the dock at Mom and Dad's on Saturday. It was fun watching Marley and Ellison try to play with each other. Ellison is still so soft and gentle where Marley was ready to play and play hard. It won't be to much longer until they are running around every where and can do just about whatever together.

Marley now has her top 2 and bottom 2 teeth and another one on the way. She is trying her hardest to crawl and is getting so frustrated because she seems to always go backwards or in a circle. Bless her heart she might be like her daddy and never end up crawling. She is also starting to pull herself up and stand up while holding onto things. She will get brave and let go of whatever it is she is holding onto to see how long she can stand alone and sometimes she does very well. Marley is now saying "dada" and "nana" and every now and then you can hear a "mama" in there but not to often.

We hope everybody had a wonderful weekend! Love ya'll!
