Busy, busy, busy!!!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated. We have been busy.... eating squash! Marleigh is a squash monger. I don't think she could possibly open her mouth up any wider when she is ready for a bite. And, she is ready for a bite pretty much instantly after she swallows one! Mom can't seem to shovel it in fast enough. We've got some great video, so some night when I have some time, I'll try to learn how to upload it to the blog! Tonight she ate a full 2.5oz of squash & then followed it up with 3.5oz of formula! I think Marleigh should be a piggy for Halloween! Tomorrow night we will try some carrots. Hope she likes them as much as she likes squash.

When we aren't devouring squash, Marleigh is talking up a storm. She'll talk to us, the tv, her woobie, the ceiling fan, pretty much anything. It is so cute! She is rolling like crazy & has started to army crawl! She can sit up on her own now for a few seconds at a time. She is getting so much better with her balance. Tonight, Daddy even had her standing! She had both arms on the ottoman & Daddy's hand on her back for balance, but most of her weight was on her chunky little legs. She was able to stand there for 15-20 seconds. It seems like she is making so much progress in the last few weeks. We are thrilled with how well she is doing! Marleigh is really getting to be a ton of fun!

Saturday, I went to my first KSU game of the year. We had a great time. The cats could do no wrong. They didn't even look like the same team from the week before. It was also good to see Marinda & Monica.

Manhattan last weekend was the farthest & longest I have been away from Marleigh. We had thought about staying the night in Manhattan, but I just wasn't ready to do that. I was a little nervous being so far away from Marleigh, but left her in good hands. Marleigh & Grandma had a blast. I am proud to say that I only called to check on her twice! Grandma said that Marleigh had a great day. No reflux & no spit up. Not any!!! Since her tummy was feeling good, Grandma put Marleigh to sleep in her crib. She slept there from 8:30-4:30! That is the all time record for her to sleep in her bed! Maybe we just need Grandma here to put her to sleep every night!
