July, Oh MY!

Wow, I cannot believe it is July already. We have been very busy around here, doing what... I have no idea. We did go to the 4th of July parade, we walked down to Main street and cheered for our fire fighters. And my friend Elizabeth hosted a birthday party for Mar - we mostly cancelled due to illness in my family and in her's. But then we thought our kids probably have the same cold so we figured it couldn't hurt to spend more time with them. They hang out all day at school anyway. But we let the other Mom's off the hook. No one wants to be sick in the summer!! I don't have the photos from the party so I'll have to post them later.

Here she is with Daddy playing guitar!







Marleigh is doing so good it is hard to believe how sick she was (or how chubby!). We still have her therapists coming two times a week and she is a bit delayed in a few areas but she's coming along. Her latest accomplishments include, pulling to stand and cruising along the furniture. She seems to only be able to go to her right, which really ticks her off (my interpretation anyway).

Over the weekend, she even slept all the way through the night - I woke up at 3 am out of habit just to make sure she was OK.
Of course now we are all sick with this cruddy cough - Yuck. But Marleigh seems to have it the least, it is like she has a super immune system. I know she didn't get that from me, I get whatever Dylan brings home from pre-school.

Here are some photos from her last EEG - she's trying to get a look at Conrad while he attaches the leads - once they are on though she's ready to have fun! Nothing get's her down, and her laugh is contagious ;)

She's also getting some more teeth! Not the ones you'd expect. She seems to be growing her vampire fangs out on top. I have been meaning to do her official 1 year old photos and if I don't do it soon she'll look dramatically different with thos teeth! I made her a special tiny three-layer cake. I had to put it in the freezer because it has been a 2-day project and if it is frozen then I won't try to eat it....no that's not why it's frozen. I read somewhere it was easier to frost - but the frosting I have is like taffy and I can't get it to look very cute. But it is pink, so that will have to do. I am not starting over! And yes, it is the first time I have ever stacked cake. I'm sure I'll be making cakes that look like a princess in the near future!

Well I'll try to add more photos soon from the Bday!
Hugs,
