Lock-in

We had a "mini" lock-in which means we called it off at around 12:30 p.m. Of course, Marley and I headed on home around 9:30 or so. Marley played in the nursery a lot of the lock-in.

Marley has been irritable and not feeling just completely up to par. I believe it is due to teething. She is getting her molars in. Not fun. She is still a very good and sweet girl. The sweetness is just not as evident when she is screaming and making horrible faces at her mother. :)

She does talk a lot and seems to take everything in. Today she said, "More." (wanting her milk) and I said, "please." She then repeated me and said, "please." This is something she says whenever she feels like it and that is not necessarily all the time but we are working on it. We have been watching a movie that goes over the alphabet and she loves it. Hopefully she will learn something from it and I am working with her too. She knows where her eye, mouth, nose, ear, hair, toes, knee, hand and belly button (pretty much just raises her shirt on this one) are. I think she knows head and leg too but I was just going over some of these with her and for head she reached around to the back of her neck and she would not show me where her leg was at all. Being somewhat stubborn....

She can tell you what a cow (boo), cat (meow), dog (woof), duck (quack) say. All she ever wants to do in the car is sing, 'This little light of mine.' She holds her whole hand out and moves it around because well, my child still has not learned to point with her index finger...

She is obsessed with the word baby and actual "babies" as well. (The reason I put "babies" in quotes is that pretty much any little kid is a baby to her) Our friends that sit with us at church are having a baby in November and Walter was talking about how awful it is going to be because Marley will be hollering out baby all the time. I just hope she doesn't "pat, pat" the baby too hard!

Guess that's all for now. Love everyone.
