Getting Bigger

Marlee continues to amaze us. We can't get over how quickly she is growing and learning. Her personality is blossoming and we are having so much fun with her. Her laugh is absolutely contagious and she lights up a room with her smile. 


Not quite big enough for the pool, but definitely looks the part!


Marlee sleeps as hard as she plays.
She's either on or off, not a lot of in-between.




This was such a great moment.
You can almost feel her laugh in the photos!


She's found her thumb! 
Won't take a "bink", but who needs one when you have 10 fingers and 10 toes!


My beautiful girls!

Changing Before Our Eyes

Months two and three brought such big changes. Smiles, laughs and her facial expressions are giving us a wonderful glimpse into her personality. Each day is something new, but the fear of the unknown is beginning to fade. Finally getting some sleep has helped calm our nerves. That smile of hers does wonders as well!


Marlee loving on Mom


3 months and she's really starting to reach for things now. Still not sure what to do with them, but able to grab hold and focus her attention.


Thank goodness she loves hugs!
There are plenty to go around!


We always said she looked like she was praying a lot during this time.
I know Cyd and I sure were!


Some of her expressions cause us to laugh out loud.
This was a good example.

Vegas Baby!

Nothing says turning two months old like Las Vegas! We took Marlee on her first, and last, long road trip to Vegas to visit family for Passover. It was so great to visit with everyone and let Marlee meet her aunts, uncles, and great grandparents, but she wasn't a big fan of the long car ride. Lesson learned, better to fly!


I was hoping Marlee would help me bring home the 20 mil.
Unfortunately, I went back to work on Monday!


Great Bubie Marcia gets some time with the girls


Marlee loves a party! All the girls at Pesach

Starting to Smile

What a difference a month makes! Marlee started to explore her surroundings. The first smile was amazing, and every one since makes our hearts melt.

Laughing with Bubie


Nobody puts baby in the corner!


Mom and Marlee, both are pretty in pink!


She LOVES her rain forest playset! So many cool things she gets to discover.

One Month Old

We had quite a few visitors the second month. Uncle Mitch came in from Denver, Grandma and Grandpa flew in from Florida, and Kira stopped in from Chicago. It was fun to share our sleepless nights with everyone that was brave enough to visit during this time!

Grandma and Grandpa get to meet Marlee!
This is proof, Grandpa actually held her!


She's a fighter!

The crib finally arrives!
It was the second crib we ordered, but it finally arrived!
