Marley Jean

Happy Birthday Marley!!

Today is Marley's birthday and here are a few shots from the day and just a few things about Marley.

She wakes up in the morning singing songs and she goes to be at night by saying, "Bye!"

She gets loves opening things such as, ointment, baby powder, chapstick, sunscreen, and applying it to her face.

She is a tomboy - she loves to play cars with Stratton and she loves to be outside getting dirty! Bugs are her favorite, she likes to squish them with her bare hands. (I hope PETA isn't reading this)

She loves princess things and PINK. She calls all the princesses 'Ariel' and wears a different gown to bed each night.

She calls her blanket, her 'Pink'.

She loves her daddy and brother, but hands down, her MOM is her favorite!

The phrase she says the most during the day is: "I hold you me!" This means she wants me to hold her and usually I love it.

She can talk really well and will say things so clearly that I have to remember she is only two!

She is a bundle of joy and has the personality of 50 people, we just love her and think she is a riot!!!

For the past two weeks each night when I put her to bed she would say, "My birthday?" and I would reply, "It's in two weeks." She would smile and say, "Okay".

Happy birthday little princess!

Opening her presents!
This is the kitchen she got and her daddy got to put it together. It took a couple of HOURS!! I was afraid it would be a few day project. As you can see, the kitchen got finished later....

Marley and Strat in the bath.

Marley in her birthday tutu and slippers (you can't see the slippers, but they are princess slippers). What a fun girl she is!

The finished kitchen!

I just have to say that she made her birthday fun for everyone! Every time she got a present her face would light up and her mouth would drop open. She would pause and then open it. She was so excited about everything. I missed the shot of her and Blake blowing out birthday candles together. It was priceless. She had a look of complete happiness on her face.
