Marlo is growing up so fast! She is talking all the time, saying the funniest things. She plays pretend with her toys and dolls, putting them "ni-night" and telling me when her baby cries.

She loves music, singing and dancing. She's always pretending to play the trumpet or flute or drums.

My favorite thing about her is how hard she tries. It's a lot of work for that little body to jump, or do the hokey-pokey, or fit in the pieces of a puzzle. When she doesn't get it right she just tries again, never giving up. And she's so proud of herself when she gets it right.

I'm proud of her regardless.
