Marlee's first Mardi Gras we spent at home, but hope to get her to NOLA someday soon. I made a king cake and we had red beans & rice on Lundi Gras, and had jambalaya tonight! My parents went to New Orleans on Friday night and go back home tomorrow. We (Marlee and I) are heading to Centre on Thursday. We plan to visit my Grandma, see other family, and help and go to Kadie's and Beverly's baby showers on Saturday. Dave is coming on Saturday and leaving Sunday. We will probably come back home on Sunday too. Can't wait to see all of their pictures from carnival!
Marlee is now making coughing noises to get our attention sometimes...pretty cute...she's also making a motorboat sound (blowing air through her lips) a lot the last 2 days. Those sounds along with her ahh's and mmm's she makes looking directly at you, wanting you to imitate. She has been playing the game with David mostly, and I got some of it on video. Adorable flirtiness! She's now reaching her arms up when she wants us to pick her up, getting more stable sitting up, and studying everything...including her hands with or without holding something. She'll just turn her hand in all directions looking it over. I'm pretty sure her first teeth are going to make their appearance soon. The drooling continues, she's chewing on her fingers a lot, and biting my chin a lot (which my parents have pics of me doing that to them). We've officially taken the bassinet part out of the pack in play in the living room so she can play in the bottom of the pin. She's now eating green beans, broccoli, and spinach as other greens. We had her try avacado for a new fruit, but she wasn't really a fan...will try again another time. Apples and pears are pretty much her fruit staples. We did let her try our strawberry real fruit bar/popsicle and she loved it. So I'll be trying some berries with her soon.
Dave is still working at Home Depot, but hopefully this will be the last month. Haven't heard anything from America's Got Talent yet, but hope to soon!
Mom is doing pretty well...she's just ready to be done with the procedures and get on with the recovery process. She has opted to do chemo, but won't be starting that for another week or so. She had to have one expander taken out of one side due to an infection, and they are still waiting to hear from a lab in TX as to what exactly the infection was. They did start putting some saline in the other side, and she only has some stitches left and one drain. My parents got a hotel room for the last 2 nights in NOLA at the Hilton for mom to have a place to rest. Glad she got to go, but I'm sure she's gonna be exhausted. Excited to see them this weekend!
