Spring is in the air...

Uncle Jon and Aunt April came last weekend to visit and the weather was gorgeous!  We set up the tent with the gazebo over it to have a place to play outside...and to air out the tent if we get to go camping anytime in the near future.  Marlee seems to love being outside...I better get the sunscreen and bug spray ready.  We are using soap and water mixed in a spray bottle to kill wasps in the house now...and it works!  You might have to spray more than the toxic stuff, but you get the same result...DEAD.  It's back in the 70s-80s, and we have plans to hang here again this weekend.  Only a few more weeks of Dave working at Home Depot.  Both of our families are planning on coming here for Easter weekend...should be fun!

Marlee LOVES bubbles!  She laughs, follows them, and tries to pop them.  You can tell she is studying and learning so much all of the time.  She's sitting and playing very well now and rolling around like crazy.  There have been many crawling attempts (baby pushups and rocking), but she's not quite there yet.  Oh, and the 2nd bottom tooth popped up a week after the 1st one!  Chicken was only an ordeal at dinner for the first 2 nights and now enjoys it nightly.  I'm still making her food, except for prunes (have helped her poo issues, as well as switching to oatmeal instead of rice cereal).  I also bought a few jars of Beechnut food when they were on sale and I had coupons too.  She's getting better with the sippy cup too.  I've been giving her bigger chunks of banana to chew before practicing as finger food, and she holds the food up front and chews it with her teeth...so cute and smart.  She still makes the motorboat/motorcycle sound a lot (all pitches), but now she's doing a growling sound a good bit too.  There's still some fake coughing going on too...attention seeker ;). 

There are a few other video auditions that David can send in to competitions (America Sings, X Factor, The Voice)...haven't heard from America's Got Talent yet...they have til the end of April...we'll see!
