Last week Bebe (Dave's mom) came to visit on Tuesday and stayed until Thursday. We went to run errands and to lunch at a cafe/antique shop on Wed. After she left on Thurs. I took Marlee to Kroger with me alone for the 1st time for grocery shopping. She did great on both her outings...slept most of the time and made it without having to take a bottle!
Then on Friday night Gama & Papa arrived for the weekend. We watched football all day Saturday, and my mom watched Marlee while my dad, Dave and I went to Pizza Perfect to order and pick up dinner. It was our 1st time to leave Marlee at the house with someone and both of us be gone. She did well. On Sunday, my mom kept Marlee again while Dave was at Pete's house jamming, and daddy and I went to the grocery store to stock back up some. She was asleep when we got back, yay!
Marlee is so social now! She sustains eye contact, giggles, smiles, coos, and observes everything! She's not protesting clothes or diaper changes like when she was new, and she likes getting baths now more too. She can attend to a few short books and loves for us to sing/talk to her. She can see herself some in the mirror and is awesome at tracking toys/objects. Love watching her learn and grow!
We head to Centre on Friday to stay with the Sanfords all weekend since my parents will be in Tuscaloosa. On Saturday we're going to David's cousin Amanda's wedding near Rome, GA. It'll be the 1st wedding she goes to...hope it goes well...at least it's in a church so there will be lots of rooms for us to go to if needed. It will be the 1st time many of that part of the family will see her. Hopefully we can visit her Great Grandma in the nursing home on Sunday before we leave town too.
The weather is back in the 70s this week, wish it were in the 60s, but at least it's not jumped to freezing cold yet! Marlee got the rest of her shots yesterday...2, 1 in each thigh, she did pretty well, and again doesn't seem adversely affected by them, yet. A lot of 1st's for Marlee recently and many more to come!
