Marissa has moves...and update

Today, Marissa thought it would be fun to dance to mommy's music, so I thought you would love to see her moves.



Marissa, has been doing great lately. She is still walking along all the furniture and getting into everything, everywhere. She is also starting to get more courage to stand up on her own, and is showing signs of standing alone soon.

She now has 7 teeth, and is not afraid to use them. She can officially wave hello and goodbye to others. Loves to read her books, like a big girl. This is everything new for her today, but later I will post her weight and height.

As for the new baby, everything is going great. I have no energy, but we can finally feel the baby move in my tummy, which makes everything that more special. I am currently almost 17 weeks and we have finally agreed on baby names. If this baby is a girl, then its Emma Grace, but if it is a boy, then Ethan Alexander. We are very proud and excited to bring home our new addition in March, and we are going in for the ultrasound to determine the sex on the 23rd of October.

Thank you all for your time and support. You are truly missed and we will see you all in December.

Elmo Live


So, we decided to take Marissa to her first "kid show," and took her to see When Elmo Grows Up Live with Sesame Street.

It was a lot of fun, but Marissa particularly was not very interested and was afraid of almost everything...however, there was the occasional time where she would watch it. But here are some of the pictures from there...and some recent pictures. (Marissa at the beach, Mommy 13 weeks pregnant, and Marissa's cheerio moment.)
