Applause Please

Like Eric B. and Rakim say 'Make em clap to this'.

Mallory is 8 months!

Mallory is getting so big - she has new tricks to show Mommy & Daddy each day.  First it was crawling, now standing up while hanging onto the furniture, chatting it up, making funny noises w/ her mouth - raspberries, Zerberting Mommy & Daddy (getting them back for doing it to her for so long).  It's been such a whirlwind 8 months and we are enjoying every second of it!

Trying on a really cool outfit...

Chatty Cathy

Mallory is very chatty and loves to hear herself talk.  She will be a big gabber - no shrinking violet here!

Wiggleworms - St. Patty's day

We love Mallory's weekly music class at Old Town School of Folk Music in Lincoln Square.  Nannie & Boppo got to join in on the fun on St. Patty's while Mommy & Daddy went downtown to the festivities.  Mallory loves to hear the live guitar & socialize with her fellow Wiggleworms.

Spring (Summer) Comes Early - March 2012

We've had an unseasonably warm winter and practically skipped Spring w/ temps in the 80s in mid-March! Mallory has been able to get to the park almost every day - loves the swing the best but checks out the slide and bouncy chair too!  We also made it to the Lincoln Park Zoo to check out the monkeys.

Mexican Vacay - February 2012

Mallory took Mommy & Daddy and Aunt Renee to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico to escape the Chicago winter for awhile. She was an EXCELLENT traveler - was a better flyer than her Mommy and enjoyed the fun in the sun for 7 days. She used her skills from swim lessons in the pool each day and even went in the ocean!
