Marlee loves to listen to her daddy sing and play music...I love this picture of her watching him. He's been playing even more than usual to practice for his solo acoustic shows around Nashville. And she just bounces her little body around to dance, dance, dance. David's probably going to go by the name Sanford as his show name, and should be booking more shows soon.
His first show was at Sweet CeCe's in Green Hills. It's a gourmet yogurt shop right off the main road. It was awesome that it was at a location and time in which Marlee could join us! She was dancing on the table tops (in the cute baby way) throughout the whole show! And during certain songs she would turn and just watch him. So cute!
My friend Karey came to Nashville this weekend for the CMA Festival (Bonnaroo was this weekend in TN as well). She and her friend Billy stayed at our place. We had a lot of fun hanging out Friday night. Since they were going to be gone all day & night on Sat, we decided to go to Centre for one night so that Aunt April could get some Marlee time (since April can't come back to Centre next weekend for Father's Day). We didn't get caught up in traffic going or coming, and we made it back by 5pm on Sunday. But we didn't leave without getting some time in the lake. Marlee loves kicking in the water and splashing around. It was a calm morning on the lake Sunday, and it was a great way to end the weekend with wading in the water watching Marlee have fun!
I snapped this picture while I was fixing our dinner after we got back into town. Marlee crawled over to the kitchen from the living room play area to see the dogs (we were still dog sitting Lucy) because they were making lots of noise. She pulled up on the gate and stood there going back and forth for almost 10 minutes! She's been pulling up on the couch and coffee table/ottoman a lot lately. So she's getting really good at getting across the room, even though she's still pulling with her hands/arms than using her knees. And we can't believe how long she can stand...and she loves to practice walking holding our hands. She's now consistantly clapping to sign more during meals, and she just starting waving last week. It's awesome that you can say clap or wave and she understands receptively, and if we do either action she will imitate. Amazing stuff! She makes a barking sound to imitate the dogs sometimes, which is cute...and she's using mama and dada a lot more. It seems like she comes up with new sounds all of the time. She's eating a lot more of what we eat too now. This passed week we had chicken faijtas, and she fed herself small pieces of chicken, red bell pepper, onion, avacado, shredded cheese, and tortilla...such a big girl!
