Things are getting better!

Dear Marlie,

So much has gone on since the last time I wrote you! All I can say is that I fall more and more in love with you every time we are together. You are such a perfect little girl! And you are growing so fast! Last week I got to see you sit up on your own for the very first time :) I caught it on camera. Look at you!


I was so proud of you when you did this. And you think it is fun to fall over. You are grabbing for everything in sight now and when you are leaning back in a chair, you try your hardest to pull yourself up. Maybe you are like me. I have to be able to see in the distance and maybe you do, too :) You are talking up a storm now and you are always smiling. It's just the cutest thing ever and I can't get enough of you!

So last week your Nana, Auntie Sonya, and cousing Faith came to see you. Your auntie and your cousin both got checked to make sure they weren't sick and guess what?! They aren't! Auntie Sonya wasn't feeling very well for a long time and your cousin Faith was born during it all. Those two are super strong. I hope that when you get old enough to understand, Cancer has been beaten that way we don't have to worry anymore. Until then, WE will keep praying!

While they were here, you could tell that you and your cousin are beginning to recognize each other. Y'all held hands and your cousin even kissed you on your head :)



She is crawling now and she walks when we help. She looks like a little soldier because she steps so hard, but it won't be long until she is walking and YOU are crawling. It's all going by so fast. Your personality keeps coming out more and more. I think I might be in trouble and no picture says it better than this one



Well today we got to hang out a little bit. We went and walked around the mall in your super neat stroller that daddy's friends got for you at the baby shower. Everywhere we went everyone talked about how stinkin' cute you are. Your cheeks are tubby and your eyes are gorgeous. I am a proud, proud father :)

Things are getting better, Marlie. We are seeing each other more and more and that's all I want. Daddy's friends are meeting with mommy's friends in just a little bit so that we can really create a schedule that will let me see you all of the time! AND you are about to start spending the night with me sometimes! This means we can play more, you get to see your aunties and uncles and Nana and grandpa and you get to see Chloe :) You love Chloe. You reach out for her and want to pet her all of the time. And she loves you, too. She gives you these really soft kisses on your face and you love it. This is when you and Chloe met for the first time



Well I get to see you again in two days and hopefully next week will be our first time to stay the night together. I can't wait :) I love you from here to Pluto, Marlie and I miss you already. See you Thursday!

Love,
Daddy
