14 Months

I had to go to a cemetery yesterday and take pictures. Now, I have to write a three page paper about how I felt while I was there. boring. So, I will put them to better use by uploading them here. The past month has been so unbelievably busy. So many big life changes have happened, and she is doing better than we could have expected. I know it isn't easy moving again and it isn't easy sleeping in a new bed and missing her Kima. but I am so proud of her. Aside from her little temper tantrums that seem to happen all the time now, she is just as she was.Tonight, I sat on the floor with her for the first time a while and just played with her. I could tell how happy she was that something was close to normal again. I can't believe I hadn't been doing that with her. No wonder she is begging for my attention, I haven't been giving it to her as much as I should. I am so worried about my school work and To Do lists and the wedding ceremony. I need to stop doing all that while I should be with her, and I feel really guilty about it.
Let's see, during Marley's 14th month she got a lot done. We moved and she left the state of Texas for the first time. She said goodbye to her BFF, Kima, hosted her first garage sale, learned to dance to Beyonce, and perfected her kicking and throwing. She now says Uh Oh, ball, cup, again, and dog. None of them actually sound like the real thing, but we all know what she's saying, so it counts. She just started signing "cup" and we are working on "swing". She also got her first busted lip and pee peed in the potty a few times.
She looks more like her Daddy everyday, and for the first time today she cried when he was leaving. She has been so attached to me lately, so it was so surprising to see her get so upset. He is gone on a fishing trip with his dad for the weekend, so hopefully we won't miss him too much. Even with her tantrums (The Terrible Ones maybe?) she is such a great little girl. She never stops loving me and wanting me, which is all I can ask for.

Now, I'm exhausted and all this talk about Marley has made me miss her and want to curl up in bed with her.
