9 Months Old

Mommy loves Marley.

Can you see that curl behind her ear?! It's adorable and I'm so glad she is going to have some wave in her hair!

Daddy loves Marley.

A "US Army" dress from Aunt Abigail and Uncle Brett. Thanks guys!

9 months. It's hard to believe. They have been short and long at the same time. We spend our days excited about all the things that are coming up (walking, talking) but we are still sad about all the time that has already gone by. It is so important to enjoy it while it's happening, we can never get it back.

In her ninth month, Marley learned to crawl like a pro, started to climb on anything that sits on the floor, learned to stand and cruise along the couch, started saying "mamamama", tried tons of new foods (including grass), learned to dance, learned to wave, learned to actually play with thing instead of just throwing them around, got her first curl behind her ear, visited with all of her great grandparents, went on an Easter egg hunt, learned how to make a mess, and so many more things that I can't even remember. She's amazing.

I love you, Marley.
