Marianne is 11 months old! We have many pictures and videos of our Christmas trip home to post at some point, but for now this is about Marianne. She is an adventurous, climbing, clapping, happy girl. She had her first 2 ear infections during our trip to Oklahoma, and thankfully is on the mend. She loves to walk pushing her new stroller and holding hands - but has not taken a step on her own yet. She is saying "Dada" with definite purpose now - when we were apart from Brian in Oklahoma she would say it to the phone when she heard his voice. And she started signing "more" in Oklahoma! Yeah! She has 4 teeth, maybe some more on the way, and prefers finger foods to anything that resembles baby food...She loves for us to chase her, and thinks she is quite clever when she sneaks around to climb up the stairs. We have quite a few baby gates up these days. We love you Marianne!
We loved seeing family, but were glad to be out in the sunshine when we came home! This was in alumni park on campus, just after Evelyn was bitten by a duck. We tried to feed the ducks at the pond with some bread, and one duck was a little too bold! I think Evelyn was more frightened than hurt. She gave us a good smile for the picture when we told her to say "mean duck!" (Note: she has on a sleeveless 4th of July dress - anything sleeveless is her favorite. We compromised by wearing leggings, a turtleneck and a jacket too).
