Marley-1 month old

So Marley is one month old today! She weighs 11 pounds and 6 ounces. She has really been a little joy. She is always nursing and is a constant source of entertainment for the other kids- even if she's asleep.
Erick constantly asks me if he can kiss/touch/hug Baby Marley. He is an expert on her feelings, because he is always telling me what she wants and sometimes what she says... hmmmm. He has great reflexes with her pacifier, and says to her that she better not spit that out now, he needs to play his video game. He's a great big brother, and since we taught a FHE lesson on how to be a peacemaker, he is trying to be a good example to the others and not fight and tease. It's really tough, but I tell him that even peacemakers make mistakes and it will get easier over time.
Tripp always want to be close to Marley. His time to hold her is like playing a game of catch. I put Marley in his lap, he kisses her head, and then immediately pushes her back to me. He is such an amazing boy. He has the capacity for huge amounts of compassion and kissy-love, as well as emotional rage that consists of screaming fits up the stairs to his room when he's in trouble. He tries my patience the most out of them all, and so he's going to help me be the super-mom I'm destined to be. I just hope that I make the cut.
Chrissy is a whirlwind of development. She is saying new things all the time! She loves Marley, but has no concept of the meaning of soft. She is very rough, but I'm beginning to think that's just her style. She's right there with the boys and gives them constant "little sister" abuse :) She loves to sing and plink a little tune out on the piano... and I think she crashed my mom's laptop. Luckily Mom fixed it :)

I'm going to post updated pics of Marley in the same, if possible, outfits as her younger pics in order to see how much she has grown. She definitely looks like I've puffed her up a bit, lol.
