Marley Talking

Here is a video of Marley talking to her hands, this has been going on for about an hour, and I had to get this on video for everyone to enjoy.....

February

Well the month of February is almost gone, and I wanted to share some new pictures of Marley with everyone. She is almost 17 pounds and is 29 inches long, we are sitting by ourselves and moved up to some solid foods. She can grab small pieces and bring to her mouth but gets them in about half the time. Only two months away from being 1 YEARS OLD.... I can't believe time has flown by like it has.... Like I said in my previous post we are nodding like a big girl, and in church yesterday everything the preacher said she was nodding in agreeement. So funny!!! We also bought a big girl car seat, and the picture of her in her valentine shirt she is smiling lik eher dad...Love to all!!!

I love Lettie

Marley has recently discovered that she can move her head nodding back and forth for yes and up and down for no. In the video is her answering our questions.

2009

It's been forever since I posted.... I'm going to try better in 2009 and post at least once a week! Let see if I can catch everyone up since my last post. Christmas came and we had a wonderful first Christmas with Marley. She got lots of present and toys, it was the best even though she had no idea it was great to be a mom on Christmas and have that first experience. It take Jonas and I two hours to put together the exersaucier, and we decided not to wait until Christmas Eve to do that again. Then came New Years and we went to my parents for their party, it was great seeing everyone and staying up to get my New Years kiss. Marley is officially nine months old and is doing great! We have been fighting a cold but other than that she is growing and learning. She can wave bye bye and give you five. She is so cute!!! Hopefully everyone is caught up. This weekend my PawPaw is turning 80 and we are throwing him a surprise party,and Jen and Drew are coming home. Aunt Jen and I are going to get Marley's ears pierced so look for those pictures coming soon...

Christmas is almost here and the Taylor family is in full swing. We had some great news come our way on Monday.... No Open Heart Surgery!!! Whooo Whooo.. We met with Dr. Ebeid (surgeon at UMC) and he told us after the echo that the PDA was smaller but the ASD needed to be closed but Open Heart Surgery was not needed it could easily be done by a Heart Cath through her groin. Such a relief for Jonas and I, I don't think I have stopped smiling. Dr. Ebeid would like Marley to gain at least 5 more pounds before doing the Heart Cath so we have started her eating her baby food three times a day plus her bottles. Bring on the Pounds!!! Here are some cute pictures of my baby in front of the tree. Also some big news Marley has started Crawling and she is saying dadaddada all the time. Enjoy!!!

Being Thankful!!!

I have many things to be thankful for this year, and I'm most thankful for my family....Everyone has really helped to support Jonas, Marley and I through all the difficult times and we are so grateful. Here is a picture of my turkey I'm so thankful for her!!!

P.S. Thanks to Ashley for the great idea for the shirt. Love ya!!

Busy Weekend

This has been a busy weekend.... Saturday Morning we had our Christmas pictures taken, Marley looked so cute in her Christmas dresses-they should be ready on Wednesday and I'll post the link. Then we went to Jonas' dad's and Janie's for Early Thanksgiving. We had a great time seeing everyone and Marley was in such a good mood smiling and talking to everyone. Today we finally picked a paint color we both agreed on, and painted the bathroom. I'll post some pictures and ya'll can tell me what you think. I'm almost finished with a dress I'm working on for Marley, and I got the cutest tights to go with the dress! Check out Marley's Wizard of Oz shoes!!! So cute!
