Growing up

We're sitting up all by ourself just like a big girl! 

6 Months Old

Happy Half Birthday Marley!

Now lets spend the morning at the doctors office and the afternoon at the hospital. Yup, we just returned from the hospital. Yesterday, on a few occasions you found yourself gasping for air. At first we thought you had just learned something new to do with your throat but kept an eye on it. This morning you woke up wheezy and breathing a lot heavier so I made the call to the doctor. He thinks youre just congested being cold and flu season and along with all the drool pouring out your mouth you may have choked back on some and caused the congestion that way. But just to be sure he sent us for a chest x-ray and RSV test. We'll be getting the results in a couple of hours.

So, get better sweet girl.

Other than that youve been such a happy girl. You laugh and squeal almost all day long. Especially at Paddington.

You can sit up all by yourself for a good bit now. And now you definitely want to ever be laid down unless youre sleeping. Even changing your diaper you put up a good fight laying down.

You can get up on your hands and knees like youre going to crawl but can't quite get the balance/strength to get moving from there. I'm sure it won't be long. You also love to stand up on your feet with only a little bit of our help to keep your balance. I've been told I started walking at 8 months so maybe you'll be an early mover too.

We had a great thanksgiving and you've met Santa this month. And you take your first plane ride in the next week!

Santa!

 

We had a great time at the Festival of Tree's. You watched the school kids sing and play their instruments, iced cookies and got to sit on Santa's lap! 

What do you want for Christmas? 

Your two front teeth.

There a couple of teeth that are definitely so close to breaking through. Hopefully they will before our trip.

Counting down the days...

 

16 days!

In just over 2 weeks we'll be on our way to England and we can't wait. We've already started packing! Although my mum and I wish Marley and I were traveling over with her on the 12th  I'm sure the time will go by quickly as we have quite a few things going on over the next couple of days/weeks. Friday and Saturday is the Festival of Trees and Marley will be meeting Santa Claus. Next Thursday I will be going to see the Rockettes in Jacksonville.
