SHE DID IT !!!

Hi Everyone! It's been a week and beside her being able to hold her head up on her own now, Mariel is learning to SCREAM! She can hear herself and it's absolutely the cutest thing to see her scream and smile. She loves it!

NOW ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIGGEST NEWS???

Mariel rolled over from her belly to her back last night!!!!

We're so proud of her and how well she is doing. It was awesome, and unfortunately we missed it with the video. But none the less she did it, and we were both there to see it. Whew! We tried for two times, but she was tired. It takes a lot of energy for her to get up the strength. So now we're doing more tummy time, and seeing what happens! Wish her luck!

Blowing bubbles and kicking... she's now started drooling (teething has commenced perhaps?) We think she looks like a little blue blueberry... 

Caught her in a giggle... :) 

Mariel, June 16...she's almost three months old already!!! I loved this outfit, and was talking to my Grandma on the phone... I told her I'd post a recent picture.. sorry it's been awhile!  

THE "SUPERS" inspired from "The Incredibles" :)

This is quite possibly the funniest and coolest thing that Gary has done for us! Our friend Gary is a "computer GENIUS" and knows Photoshop all too well. It's so great what a little imagination can do! Thanks so much Gary!!!!

Another pound down...

You won't believe this... but she's another pound heavier! 13 lbs. 10 oz. The doctor is going to think that I'm bringing her in just to weigh her... but we had to go back , again, to see Dr. Garza. Mariel's had a stomach bug the last few days, and was not herself at all. She slept more than 24 hours, pretty much straight on, and was getting mom a little worried. But this morning, right before her appointment, she woke up and was all smiles. So whatever it is she had... is going away. Which makes me really happy to see her happy again. So my baby is growing, and growing faster than my arms will allow. She's so heavy, and I find myself having to put her in her swing just to give my jiggle arms a rest. I'm going to have to start bench pressing her just to get these arms in shape!!! Anyway, it's been a week since I last posted anything, so I just thought I'd so the 'what's happening'...
She's also learning to sit up a little bit on her own. Her crunches are becoming more controlled, and she rolled over the other night and scared me to death! She was on the bed, propped with a pillow and managed to tumble right over. It was awesome!!! She's also really starting to show that she recognizes mom & dad. Whenever I come in the room, if she's in her crib and fussing, all I have to do is say her name and she starts smiling!!!
This baby stuff is so incredible!!! I LOVE IT!!! Hope you all are enjoying her pictures too! We'll get some more this week, now that she's feeling a little better.
