and we have a 'loser'...


it came out with ease.  she worked that tooth until that baby had no choice but to fall out.  3 more are loose now as well.  funny to have one baby loosing teeth while the other is getting them...

Dear Marley...


baby...i am soo very sorry that i thought Instagram was a better option for keeping up with our lives.  i'm so sorry that i thought i didn't need to write every detail down...and capture every moment on film. i swore that you wouldn't fall into that 'second child' trap of not having pictures, memories, etc. like the first child.  i let you down sister.  for only for a short period of time.  and i'm gonna make up for it don't you worry.  i have a fully charged camera battery and a whole new blog miss mae mae...just for the tales of you two girls.  who i happen to love so much is hurts...we'll go back to catch up, but today you are 11 months old!  now the countdown begins till your big day.  feels like you were born yesterday and yet it feels like you've been around my whole life.  funny how that happens huh...


and just for laughs...here's what life between you and jo look like these days.  her botherin' and you bossin'...

it's rare that Marley sits still enough and stays quiet enough to let her sister hold her like this but when she does, Georgia is the sweetest thing to her.  lucky little sister...

phone pics

it's no surprise that i have 1,000,000 pictures of georgia during her first years.  i mean what else was there to do besides photograph every cute thing she did?!  marley won't have the luxury but I am trying my hardest to at least get a few pics each week. and the reality is that most of those pics will be taken with my phone.  oh well.  i'll share anyway...



Phone 011could this be any sweeter?!

Phone 084this is what has to happen to calm the fussin' (i.e. screaming) most days...

Phone 077sister is happy to occupy the baby stuff till bitty is ready for them...

Phone 104somebody's preferred sleeping method.  bitty loves skin to skin.  momma loves it to almost as much as a free hand though...

Phone 126told you there was fussin'...

Phone 055being a good big sister...

Phone 096
this is what happens when momma is busy feeding a baby and georgia has free time.  should i be impressed or scared????

1 month old


1
MK is one month old today.  I can't really decide if it's gone fast or slow. The weeks fly by but the days are quite long sometimes.  Such is life with a newborn I know.  She is settling in to somewhat of an unpredictable routine and we are slowly getting to know each other. She is a sweet baby.  Full of personality already. And Georgia has been great with her. Harold goes back to work full time next week and I'm a little anxious.  It seems like the transition from 1 to 2 kids might be a little more challenging (and a lot less tiring) than when we just had one baby.  It will be so great and in a few months we'll look back and remember these precious (hard) days...


Here's a few more pictures of this last week...

settling in...

Marley will be 3 weeks old tomorrow.  Hard to believe and then again, it feels like she's been  here longer.  We are all trying to figure out our new normal and settle in.  There's been laughter and tears from everybody in the house (okay no tears for Harold but then again, he's the only man in the house).  Us three girls will do enough crying and fussing to make up his share no doubt.  But it's good.  It's all good and we'll be just fine.  Georgia is doing GREAT with caring for Marley.  Marley is a lucky girl to have her watching over her.  Here's a few pictures from the last few days.  I'll update more later...
