Maryn is 3 months old!


Little Maryn is 3 months old today...can you believe it! I think this was one of the first dresses that nanny bought Maryn when we found out I was having a girl! Check out the adorable flower clip..I bought that at the Water Festival. When I saw it, I knew it would match this dress perfectly and what better way to break it in than during our monthly growth picture!


Our prayers have been answered...Maryn is a healthy and happy baby! She has really put herself on a great schedule...well, with my help. She resisted those naps in the beginning. She sleeps through the night and typically wakes up around 6am to eat and then goes back to sleep until 8 or 9 am...she eats and plays and then after about an hour she's tired again..an hour nap is all she needs and we're off to eat, play, go for a walk/run/shop and then she takes about a 2 hr nap in the afternoon....daddy gets home and it's time to play AGAIN!!

She is such a joy...is really exploring those hands, has really started to notice Bode and will follow him with her eyes and then smile when he approaches her, we can make her laugh any time any place, grabs her toys and holds on to them and gets really really excited when she knows it's time to eat!!

With Maryn turning 3 months old...brings my maternity leave to an end. I'm heading back to work on Sunday night and I may just shed a tear on the way in and maybe a couple times during the night :(





I know the box said 4 months and older but we like breaking the rules around here. Maryn tried out her exersaucer that daddy put together and really enjoyed herself. She is still just a little too small for it but it really got her attention....you could see her little brain working!


She sort of just dangled there...every once in awhile her feet could touch the bottom and she'd stand up proud.




She was so curious...hitting buttons and spinning balls. I think she startled herself when the ball spun around.




And then when she got tired, she sort of leaned back in the seat and looked up at me like...."that was fun, now what's next!?"


Here are some pics from Bodes birthday party that we had at our house yesterday. We also celebrated Tim's birthday too...nothing like pizza and a cold beer on a hot night.

He really opens his own birthday presents

Dom is Nick's dog, Bode's cousin...he came over to celebrate with us. It looks like Bode's telling him "that's mine!"



Time for cake! I bought them each a doggie cupcake...look how well behaved they are!

Bode ate his in one gulp and kept a close watch on Dom, just in case he didn't want his:)

Dom teased him with it and ran around the yard with the cupcake in his mouth

Me and the kids!
