Our Li'l Chubbers

We are now officially at 12 lbs. 10 oz....UNBELIEVABLE!

We had quite the day yesterday... Mariel went to her first "birthday party". We went to a picnic/birthday party in Tumalo State Park. Mariel got a little bead bracelet and got to meet some other babies / kids her age. One of which was a baby that was born the month before her, and was in our Lamaze class! It was a very exciting day, and the weather was great.

Mariel also went to the pediatrician again on Friday... she has a little bit of the stuffy nose in the mornings, and of course Mom is panicking. Doctor says she's fine,no allergies that she can tell, just a small nasal passage that will hopefully grow as she gets older. WHEW!
So we have to suction her nose in the mornings when she's really stuffy... but usually it goes away by mid-morning / afternoon. I guess it's just something we'll have to deal with. She also had a little cradle cap, but that is getter better with a little TLC.

Overall Mariel's in great health, and starting to sleep in her crib. Last night she spent the entire night in her crib... she didn't jump into bed with us until 7:30 this morning!!! It was awesome, because Mom slept not having to worry about her, and worry about smooshing her. She's sleeping in good 5 hour sessions too, and getting a little more routing with her "sleepy times". All in all, things are looking up and up and I couldn't be more happy.
