Playing

Marianne is really growing up! These pictures are a little outdated since some are more than a month old but they show how much more she is able to do. The first few pictures are from when we watched our friend Campell for an evening while her parents went out to eat.
Getting ready to play together!



I love this picture because Marianne is looking at Campell like
"What are you doing with my toy?"



Time for a tea party! Marianne likes the singing tea pot.






Tasting the "food" she just cooked in her "kitchen"!

Zoe's 3rd Birthday

We had so much fun going to Charleston for Zoe's birthday party! Marianne and Zoe are so cute together. Zoe loves to help Marianne by feeding her or showing her to how to play with her toys. She was very gentle with Marianne and liked to give her kisses. Marianne thought Zoe was hilarious. She laughed a lot as she watched Zoe bouncy around the house. We are excited to watch the two of them grow up together!

Zoe's party was a dress up party which is why you might see us in some crazy clothes! Marianne was a ballerina. Zoe was Sleeping Beauty. Chris was a baseball player (shocker, I know!) and I was a princess. Mimi wore a poodle skirt but Papi went as himself.











Papi always said he wanted a blond granddaughter on one knee and and a brunette one on the other. His dream has finally come true!

Perfect example of Zoe helping Marianne. After a long day of partying Marianne was a little fussy at dinner. Here Zoe is trying to calm her down by giving Marianne her pacy.

As an extra special treat during our weekend in Charleston we got to visit with one of our favorite people, Mrs. Hamilton. It was great to see her and I think she enjoyed getting to spend some time with Marianne. Mrs. Hamilton has seen us grow from a dating couple to a young family. It was fun to walk down memory lane with her and to share how the Lord has continued working in our lives as the years have passed.

Eating

So Marianne is now eating solid foods and she loves it! She likes sitting in her highchair and she thinks eating is fun. She even likes to try to feed herself as you can see! When she tries new foods she always makes funny faces but so far she has not rejected anything. Peas are by far her favorite.
