Nine Months and growing!!!!

Today we took Mary Morgan for her NINE month check-up!!! I just can not believe that she just turned 9 months old. SO sad!!!! However we are having so much fun watching her learn new things and seeing her personality develop. Her stats today were Weight a whopping 15lbs and 6 oz with clothes and diaper. I am going to say we are about 15lbs and 3 ounces but that is sooooo good because we have FINALLY doubled our birth weight!!!!!! Her weight puts her in the 5th percentile!!!! That just makes me laugh. She is 28 1/4 inches long. This is in the 95th percentile!!! Bottom line.......long and skinny!!!!!! Dr. VanNorman told us that we can eat whatever she will eat except peanut butter and eggs....I was thinking that she would love a scrambled egg. Owell!!!! We are going to start WHOLE milk this weekend. We are hoping that it will be more sweet than her formula and she will start taking more milk. We are only getting about 18-20 ounces a day. We will keep you posted on the transition. Have a good weekend and enjoy the pictures below!!!!

Mary Morgan and her FIRST Vanilla Wafer!!!! What a mess but she LOVED it!!!!
Thinking to herself that was the best thing that she ever put in her mouth!!!! Give me more of those!!!
So we have been playing outside a lot lately and Gabby our neighbor is always in this Jeep and the other day we finally let her take a spin and I do not think that this was her last ride and I am sure that we will have to purchase one of these one day!!!!!!
She thinks that she can drive....notice the hand on the wheel!!!!!
Waving bye bye as she goes by!!!! O-my!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!

Love the Mardis Family!!!!!

CELEBRATION!!!

A Time To Blog....

Hello all I hope that you are all doing well and that you are all gearing up for summer. I have to say that we have not really been up to much lately except having fun with family and friends. Tomorrow is our last swim class at Maley's swim school and I have to say that I am going to miss seeing everyone on a weekly basis!!! I hope that we can find someone to do something for us over the summer so that they do not lose the skills and fondness of the water that they have developed. Mary Morgan has been doing so much lately and she is getting so much fun. Morgan and I just can not believe that she is about to be NINE months old. My how time flies. Anyone that reads this and knows of anyone that teaches swim lesson please let me know. I hope that you enjoy the pictures and the stories that go along with them.I am sorry that some of these pictures are past due to be posted but my card reader has been on the blink so I had to have a picture CD made so that I could post them. Please have a good week-

The entertainment. This was so funny !!! He was wearing a WHITE suit and we were outside at a place where most of the people are wearing t-shirts, flops, and shorts. I hope that he did not eat any crawfish and get the juice on that suit!

The Mardis Family-

Thanks Taylor Parker!!!!

These pictures were taken week before last and I forgot to post them last week. Sorry!!! We got this idea from Taylor Parker, Michael and Crissie got Taylor some of these balls and he loved them so we decided to get some for MMM. It took forever for us to be at the Wal-Mart when they had some it...this is obviously something that alot of people are getting. But we got 2 bags and the pool. She loved it!!! She has figured out how to get in and out of the pool and how to drop the balls out of the pool, go get them, and get back in the pool.

Mary Morgans' face is getting better! Thanks for the prayers and comments!!!

Have a good week!!!

First Boo Boo!!!!

Yes there is a boo boo on her face!!!!
Last night we were at a friends house eating dinner and Mary Morgan was on the floor playing and the dog snapped and MMM started to scream!!!! At first when I got her I did not see any blood so I thought that she was just scared and then here comes the blood-She has a wound that is open under her eye.
We got an antibiotic today from her Pediatrician and then the Plastic surgeon told us how to care for it and to prevent a bad scar from forming on her face. Pray it is not a bad scar!! But hey just a mark of character if she does get one.
Just wanted to share her first boo boo!!!
Take care-
Mardis Family

SICK BABY!!!!

Ok so most of you already know that we have been fighting something since last tuesday. On and off fever, a cough that is aweful, runny nose, and just a fussy baby. Well last wednesday we went to the doctor and they told me that she was teething...ok I will take that....give tylenol and motrin around the clock and we should be good....well no not really....Friday cough and nose got worse and fever still lingering around 101. I call the nurse can she told me this was teething and that I could try benadryl to see if that was any help. Lets just say it was NO HELP and Mary Morgan is still miserable and I have to admit that Morgan and I were just as frustrated...nothing we did gave any relief!!!! So I call the Nurse back and she told me the give her Dimmatapp.....no help either and she can not breathe. Tuesday I am over it and exhausted so I call the doctor and say that we must be seen. I think that she thought that I was nuts until we get there MMM's chest x-ray look nasty.....lungs sound aweful...we have labs drawn....and an RSV test done....now that is when I got scared......RSV i know that stuff is bad and can make a baby really sick.....We have to wait 15 long and nerve racking minutes for the RSV test to come back......Finally some good news when the doctor came back in.....NO RSV but there is something going on with her lungs....so we are on breathing treatments 2x's a day and couch meds.....Let me just say that a 7 month old baby does not like to be held down so that the mask sits on her face and she actually breathes in the meds. I hope that none of you ever have to do this. Hopefully we should see results in about 2-3 days!!! Pray that this gets this baby better!!!!! We are just ready for our sick baby to feel better!!!! Hope you are all doing well!!!
Kassi I am soooo sorry to miss your party but I hear that you had a blast!!!! Hope you understand!!!
Update you later....
