my little marie is not acting so little!

marie has been growing like a weed lately - she is not my precious little newborn anymore - she's becoming my precious little girl! (she turned 8 months on nov. 30 so you'd think this wouldn't be a surprise haha) tuesday morning, i went in to get her and she had pulled herself up to her knees in her crib! eben and emily jane were so excited to see their little sister almost standing up. :) she is also almost crawling now...she mostly does a girly army crawl kicking thing - but she will once in a while get up on her hands and knees for a few scoots. :) it is so amazing to me how much children grow and change in that first year. what once was a cute little bundle whose simple stares excited me so much is now a squirmy giggly little girl whose laughs and antics delight me. and of course this does make me want another baby :) too bad rhett thinks we're done.
