The first week of school for Xander, Grace, and Greta was also the week of Marie's first birthday! What can I say about this baby? She is still such a sweet, easy, happy girl and we have all been having so much fun with her!
Her check up was a few weeks late but by the end of August, Marie was 14lbs 7oz and 26.5in. She's small but very fiesty and the Dr has no concerns about her. She is walking and talking and trying to be a big girl. Her favorite foods are everything. Or at least almost everything- she's not too picky. She only likes to drink water from a cup but is very good with her cups and even drinks from a straw just like a big kid. Her favorite things to play with are her dolls. She loves to find her babies, feed the babies, and drag her babies around. She loves her babies! I think she may have chosen one of her babies as her lovey/security object because she has been wanting it with her and has been asking for it a lot lately. She saw a baby just like hers in the store this weekend and was very upset about her baby being stuck in a box! She also really enjoys looking at books and her current favorite is a book my mom bought for her last week- Spotted Yellow Frogs by Matthew Van Fleet. She can follow 2 and 3 step directions when she wants and she chatters all the time. We can't understand it all yet, but some of the words we hear consistently are Momma, Dada, kitty, ball, book, that, whee, slide, no, baby, and bath. She also has developed a very assertive and fearless personality- she is the Queen Bee of the baby crowd!

On her birthday, we just had some cupcakes and ice cream at home and let her open some presents. Here's the birthday girl:
And here she is in the same outfit she wore in the hospital! She's definitely grown!
