11 Months Old & 1st Visit to the Beach!

Our beautiful, smart, funny, sweet baby is 11 months old!!!!  I can't believe she's already almost 1 year old.  We had to download all the video from our video camera, which included vids from before Marlee was born up until last week.  Soooo we had to watch a few clips...starting on her birth day...so many awesome memories.  I am so thankful to have been home with her for most of them!  Hopefully we won't go too overboard planning her 1st B'day party. ;)  We're thinking bubbles/polka dots & stripes & frogs. 

Most of the good beach pics were taken with my moms camera...but I got a lot of good video.  Marlee loved the beach!  Wanted to walk in the sand, splash in the water, and play with her squirt toys.  She could never last more than 1-2hrs once we finally got to the beach, from getting ready to nap again, but it worked out well.  We went along with my parents on my dad's annual medical meeting trip to Sandestin Resort.  We picked up Uncle Jon on the way from Nashville (Aunt April was in Oregon with her sister, who is expecting...they found out it's a boy while Ape was there).  Uncle Matt Matt and Aunt Ashley were there too!  Dad rented a beachside villa...which was awesome!  Wish we could've spent more time there, but I'll take any time.  It didn't rain until the day we left, and we had some awesome food!

Unlce Jon & Daddy at the beach!  Thank goodness we had our 10x10 canopy tent...it was sooo hot!


This is THE stinkface!  It started when she didn't like us wiping her face after eating, we labeled it "stinkface", and now we can say show us your stinkface...and she does it...so funny! 

And, she's walking/cruising all over the place.  Still no solo steps, but is standing without holding on for at least 5 seconds at a time.  She'll be taking off soon!  Such a big girl!

She is definitely looking like a Nelson in this picture with Uncle Matt Matt and Aunt Ashley and yours truly.  It was so good to all hang out together!
