Happy Birthday!

My "baby" girl turned one.  I can't believe it.  It has been such a fun year, and I've really enjoyed every second with her.  Marin is so special to us.  For her actual birthday Aunt Meg had us over for dinner and playtime.  Currin decorated the house in her honor with pink streamers everywhere.  He loves his "Marinny Rin".  She had a lot of fun playing with her cousins, and she even had a bath with Cam.  We are so thankful they are right in the neighborhood.

At her one year check up, Marin was still in the 95th percentile for height and weight at 31 inches and 25 pounds.  She has 8 teeth and a molar that is most of the way through.  She's walking great now!  It's amazing how quickly she has gone from just taking a couple steps to walking everywhere.  She loves playing outside, so we're loving the weather this fall.  Her new favorite food is kiwi.  She can eat an entire one at the end of a meal.  Her new words are "baby" and "bubble".  We look forward to this next year, but are overwhelmed thinking about how much she is going to change in another year.  We will definitely miss having her as our little baby.

 Notice Currin's sleeve... she pulled on it the whole time during dinner.

 She was being very serious during playtime.

 Waiting her turn to ride Lucky

 This is her favorite thing to do at Aunt Megean's and Uncle Robb's house.  She tries to sneak away upstairs to the playroom just to see Lucky.  When we see a picture of a horse in a book, she rocks back and forth like she's riding.

 Bath time fun... not sure why it looks like she's pouting here.  She really did enjoy it!

 So close!
