Marissa - 7 months old!



Marissa is 7 months old! She is much more dependable when sitting up on her own and she is enjoying baby food at lunch and dinner. She fills out her 6 month clothes, so we've moved up to the 9 month in some things - that's hard to believe! She has discovered her toes and really enjoys putting them in her mouth. She still doesn't want to roll over! I don't know why she doesn't want to, but she won't do it! Marissa has also graduated to the "big" tub for bath time - I try to get her in there before brother, since Luke likes to "help" by pouring water on her head. She continues to sleep for at least 10 hrs every night.

I think that she may finally be getting hair! It's really filling in around the back and everyone who sees pictures of her asks if she has red hair - I don't notice it just to look at her, but it does appear to have a red tint in pictures. I would love that! She is NOT getting any teeth, however! I don't know when those are going to show up!

Luke continues to be a great big brother (bathtime help aside) - the other day when Marissa was crying, he went to her and said "Don't be mad baby - be happy!" He has a knack for making her laugh - that is especially helpful in the car!

Scott & I just look at each other and say "Can you believe these kids are ours?" They are sweet and beautiful and we couldn't ask for more!



I love this grin! What a happy baby!

Miss Marissa's Official 6 Month Pics






Marissa may be just as much of a ham as her brother after all! I remember with Luke, anytime a camera was in front of him, he would grin and pose... Marissa doesn't do that at home! But in a photography studio, she apparently knows how to turn on the charm! We had a gazillion great pictures to choose from, but we limited ourselved to 2 poses!
The dress in the pictures was her Easter dress... so sweet!

How in the world......


I hear Marissa's usual talking/singing as she was waking up this morning.... when I came in, all I could see was a foot hanging out of the crib! She was having a good time!!
