2 Months Old!
I can't believe our little Mari is already two months old! I swear she is growing and changing every day!!! Here are some pictures to prove it :-)
We had to take the picture after bath time because it was just 'one of those days' where it didn't happen any earlier. Now I am scrambling all over the house getting stuff ready as I head back to work tomorrow. I'm NOT looking forward to it at all!!! But I know she will be in good hands while I'm at work!!
For this past month (since I'm very bad at blogging), here are a few things we have been up to...
Mari was baptized on October 9th. It was a beautiful day and we are thankful we got to spend it with family!
I met up with a friend of mine one evening so Cory was on daddy-duty. I come home around 11:30 to find them both sleeping on the couch. Apparently it was too much work getting a blanket for her, so he just wrapped her up in his sweatshirt. Even when I went to get her when she woke up in the middle of the night she was wrapped in his sweatshirt. Apparently she liked it though because it was the longest period she had ever slept!!!
On a different morning, I went into her crib to find her half-naked! I called Cory in to see what she did. She was in one of the sleeper dresses and apparently had her feet perfect in it and much have stretched and stretched till the top was pulled halfway down her tummy! It was hilarious and a great start to that morning.
Last night we celebrated with my dad for his 58th birthday. We had to get a picture with him and his grandbabies! We love him dearly and I'm so proud to call him my dad.
And finally, Mari has found her hand and it is the new greatest toy ever invented it. When she finds it she can just stare at it for minutes and when it moves she gets all excited and her eyes get real wide! She is also no longer a thumb/finger sucker. She would much rather just have the whole fist which usually involves getting drool from on ear to the other!

6 Weeks In Our Arms
I can't believe Mari has been in our arms for 6 weeks. Some days, it feels like this has how life has been forever, other days it feels like we have only been home for about a week! I had to finally sit down and figure out when I'm going back to work which was SOOO hard. I never wanted to figure it out before, but now I guess it's time to face reality once again.
Oh sweet Mari, we love you sooo much. We feel so blessed to have you in our family. You are a wonderful little girl. You are starting to smile at people and everytime you smile at Mommy, you make my heart melt. You are also starting to 'coo' which is so fun. You usually always fill dad in on what we did for the day when he gets home.
I love every minute with you baby girl. I even love getting up in the middle of the night with you. Although I am exhausted, having you look at me makes every moment worth it. I can't believe you have been in our arms for 6 weeks already and we can't believe how much you have grown!!!

You are finally in your own crib! With everything being so busy and hectic lately, Daddy just never had time to set the crib up. The first night you slept in your crib you did amazing - and you still are. You don't necessarily like going down right away, but after a few minutes (or an hour) of going in your room every 10-15 minutes you FINALLY fall asleep. No worries though, because we just laugh at you and your somewhat stubborn side.
You are also FINALY letting us put you down for a while and being content. I think we spoiled you right away in New York because you liked to be held. Even if you were being held and were in a deep sleep, you would wake up about 10 minutes after being put down because you knew that no one was holding you.
