Maryn is 5 months old and having a 'whale of a time'!

Our sweet little poodle is 5 months old and life gets better each and every day. Every month is better than the last. She is sooo alert and nosey about everything we are doing. First it started with her obsession with Bode. She'd be nursing and catch Bode out of the corner of her eye and she'd quickly pop herself off (which doesn't feel particularly good) and look over to Bode and flash him her gummy smile and then she'd quickly come back to nurse again...only to pop herself right back off two seconds later. This was fun for her...not for me. Now, all it takes is for her to hear the jingle of his collar and the games begin. She also does this now if she hears her daddy's voice :)
Just today, she rolled over from her back to her belly for the first time...and looked completely shocked and confused! No teeth yet but she's definately been a little more irritable, grabbing at her mouth, drooling and eating Sophie.
She also does this sweet little sign of affection by wrapping her arms around our necks really tight and burying her face in our chest...oh it just warms my heart when she does this....she really does like us after all!
Her eyes are crystal blue, her cheeks are gearing up for the winter months when she'll store nuts and such, and her hair is falling out to the point where her bows don't stay in anymore!! She's cute. We put this bow in for her photo shoot and when I took it out...it took 14 hairs with it. All of that dark hair is gone and light blondish redish hair is taking it's place following male pattern baldness. She's cute. We like her.

Grandma Cummings bought her this beautiful smocked whale dress while we were on vacation with them. We LOVE it!! Thanks grandma!
Check out her new 'fuzz' on the top of her head
Oh yeah...still loves to stand


Shake what your mother gave you, Maryn!



I hope the next 5 months are as much fun as the first 5



and this is how we end our shoots...

She sits up on her own...first we started like this...

...with a little help from Boppy...

..."oh boy"...

...and now she's flying solo!!!!

She grabs for our face, she grabs for her toys while she's sitting, and she grabs for her tiny little toes. I just bought her a pair of shoes since she's walking with our help...and the lady at the store said that she's got really small feet and will probably be wearing size 1 for awhile.

And when I see this....makes my uterus flip flop...Irish twins anyone??
We love you Maryn Amelia...you are pure joy! Can't really remember my life without you.

Yay Maryn! Congrats on the 5 month mark. You look dashing in the whale dress.

I was just looking at Madigan's 5 month video and I remarked that was probably when she became super responsive and just so chunky and adorable! Such a fun age.
