Cake, Cherrios, and Bubble Gum

Happy Valentines Day I hope everyone had a good day. We had a great day over here in the Ludwig household. Marin and I made a cake for Mark, that was our Valentines present to him and he made me breakfast in bed. The night before we had spent almost all night playing my Mother-In-Laws WII fit so we didn't get much sleep so he could make all the noise he wanted and there was no way I was going to hear him. I didn't get a picture of breakfast, but it was yummy!

Cheerios. Marin as Mark puts it could eat her weight in Cheerios if she wanted to. She did have a bow in her hair and looked all "Valentiney" but she is wearing her Valentine Red shirt and that makes this picture festive!

Bubble Gum. Marin loves to watch people blow bubbles. Recently however she has decided that she wants to taste bubble gum. When you blow a bubble she leans into it and opens her mouth and tries to bite it. It turns into a timing game of letting her touch the gum and not pop it and then if she pops it you have to pull it away fast enough so that it doesn't end up all over her. I love this picture I think it is pretty stinken cute.

For those who don't see Marin enough to know her stats here you go

So Marin had her 9 month check up, let me tell you it has been some the most fun I have had in 9 months. Anyway she went to the doctor and found out my daughter is tall and skinny, like her Daddy. She is 30 inches long, that puts her in the 98 percentile. Yep she is long.She got her shots before the doctor came in, lucky girl, however I had to laugh at her, okay so not laugh but chuckle maybe is the proper word, anyway. She got her foot poked to check her iron and she grunted at the nurse and then was so interested in her my little pony band aide that the poke didn't matter. Then came her shots, she jumped when she got poked and then fussed is probably a good way to describe it and then I picked her up and we were just fine. Smiling and talking to the nurse. What a champ.

Her weight, oh her weight. She has been on a constant upswing like everything else however she got an ear infection about a week before her appointment and her weight dipped down a lot so as the doctor put it "she is on the mend" which i guess means she is just going to get heavy quickly. Dang it. It's okay she is very cute. Anyway she weighs 19 pounds 10 ounces

Overall our baby is growing and getting to be more and more fun everyday. Lindsey I hope the title is a little better for you! Thanks for letting me know you look daily.
