Tickled Pink: 8 Months Old!

Marlie Grace is 8 months old! Holy Toledo, where has 8 months gone? Marlie is such a sweet spirited little girl. She laughs all the time, has a smile on her face constantly and really just lights up the world as far as I am concerned! At 8 months Marlie is saying two words - momma and dada. I will just leave it at that, doesn't really matter which came first does it? She also can say bababa and loves to blow bubbles. She has found it is especially fun to blow bubbles right when a spoon full of odd colored baby food hits her lips. Ha! Little bit is one more well positioned rock from crawling. She is SO close!! It seems way to soon for this. She just cannot wait to get going. Now, don't get me wrong. She can absolutely get to wherever or whatever she wants. She rocks, she rolls, she scoots and reaches to grab everything within site. We have tried tons of baby food and have now even started a couple of finger foods. Just puffs and shredded cheese but she thinks this is a HUGE deal! She just grins from ear to ear. Marlie loves the water, loves to be outside and loves to watch Coco and her sister! She takes two good naps and usually sleeps through the night. All and all, Ms. Priss is just an absolute joy to be around.

Trying out her pool for the first time...

Soaking in the sun

I mean seriously....... look at this girl!

And a little of this has started! For the first time I have seen Marlie really interacting with Madie. And by interacting I mean trying to grab her, take whatever she has and laugh out loud about it! It is actually my very favorite thing to watch - these two beginning to enjoy each other.
