1. 10 minutes of sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, squats

Drew has a nice chart written out for his goals, and is all organized of when he is going to do each goal every day. I know I have way too many goals, but at least this way I have a large variety I can pick from.

If I get better at just a few of these I'll be feeling just fine:)

Looks like Marlee's already got us wrapped around her finger.....  She's starting at such a young age :)

Marlee

• thinks tummy time is punishment
• is a snooze hound, she has been sleeping anywhere from 9 to 11 1/2 hours lately at night and snoozing through the day. 
• loves to people watch 
• has the daintiest fingers, and is always holding them like she's drinking a cup of tea

• officially has a bald racing stripe around her head from throwing her head back and forth
• hates, no loathes the booger bulb
• has the sweetest little coos, they melt my heart. She's started talking back and forth with us with her coos. She's been doing a funny fake laugh thing that sounds like a cat hissing.

• loves my screechy off-tune singing voice. She loves to be sung to, and loves to be bounced with your face next to hers.
• loves to slime her daddy with spit up every time he holds her
• and loves his silly adventure stories he tells her every day 
• always has one bare foot- whether it's one sock or one shoe, she always only has one. 
• has the sweetest smile I've ever seen

Photo Shoot.....a babies worst nightmare

I absolutely love dressing Marlee up and taking pictures of her! I probably already have a million pictures of her...

Marlee was doing really well until round 2 of the picture taking started. Marlee views tummy time as some sort of cruel punishment so I got about 2 good pics before all heck broke loose.

Marlee's excited face

she looks like a funny little leprechaun in this pic

 I wore Marlee right out from taking all those pictures. hahaha here is her all tuckered out. It's a hard life being a baby. :)

Marlee had her 2 month shots today... so so sad!!! They had me hold her little hands as the nurse poked 3 monster needles into both of her thighs. I couldn't watch her sad little face. She only cried for a few seconds then let out the saddest little coos; it completely broke my heart!

I laughed when I heard Marlee's measurements. She's in the 35 percentile for weight, 50 percentile for height, and 75 percentile for head circumference!! Ha I always thought her head looked big compared to her body! When the doctor saw her head measurements he said, "well she's got a big noggin... she's going to be really smart. :)"

Marlee has the most adorable little smile! Every time I see it it makes my heart melt. It makes me want to attack her with kisses (which I always do). I can't get enough of her. I just want to kiss and squeeze her all day. 

She is the most smiley baby; I absolutely love it!! Almost every time we talk to her she smiles at least 3 times. Her lips are a carbon copy of her daddys', but just miniature size. Whenever she smiles she looks like a mini Drew, it's soooo dang cute! 

Marlee's Earrings

This is how I found Marlee the other day...

It scared me how much this reminded me of being pregnant....
