New shoes and a stroller!

Here's a video of Marin walking in her new shoes with her stroller outside. She was doing so well! Hopefully she'll be walking on her own soon!

Marin's First lollipop!

Marin's first lollipop! One of the servers at our favorite Mexican restaurant gave her one. She loved it of course!

Giggles

I took this video the other night because I realized I didn't really have a video of her laughing yet. Listen closely at the end and you'll hear why Patrick and I started laughing...Yes, we have a 5th grade sense of humor :)

Spaghetti!

Up until last night, Marin really hasn't liked tomato sauce or anything with tomato in it. I made spaghetti last night for myself and of course, as usual, she scoots over to me and pulls up on my knee and literally begs for a bite...reminds me of the dogs. She pants and smacks her lips until I give in. I gave her bite thinking she would spit it out as she always does, but instead she swallowed it right down. After a few bites of mine, I made her her own plate. She loved it! She also enjoyed picking the plate up and licking it. I'm so glad she finally likes spaghetti....it's my favorite dish!

Here's a picture of Marin in her 6-12 month outfit she got last summer (it was big on her then). Now she is 14 1/2 months and it fits perfect. She's our little peanut :)

This past Saturday I helped host a baby shower for one of my good friends here in Cleveland. Marin of course was there and seemed to enjoy the shower, although it took her a while to warm up. After the shower we let her play with all the leftover balloons. We had to videotape it, it was so hilarious. Enjoy!

Marin sitting face forward in her car seat for the first time at 14 1/2 months old. She loves it!
