Baby Log: Week 45

As Marlie approaches age 1 I'm getting a little sad. She is growing up and there's no stopping it. Read what she did this week:

• Marlie is teething again, but I can't tell if it's canines or molars since the whole area is swollen, maybe it's all of them erupting at once. I can't wait for the teething to be over.
• She just started making fish lips. People will ask who taught her to do that. It wasn't either of her parents. Maybe she learned it at school.
• Marlie is thoroughly enjoying her push walker, especially banging the dog on the head with the blocks that came with it.
  
• It's official...chickpeas are now her favorite food. She eats them morning, noon and night. They are jammed packed with nutrition suchs 4 g of fat, 12 g dietary fiber, 15 g protein, 8% daily value of calcium, 26% daily value of iron! She is such a healthy eater...still no refined sugar, still no meat.
• At her weigh-in at the pediatrician's office on Friday, she had gained a whopping 1 lb 2 ounces since last month. Pretty impressive for my feather-weight. She is right at 16 lbs. She got a DTaP shot and then we went home.
• Saturday was a busy social day. We went to a cookout, a play date, IKEA (where we bumped in to Brandy, Brian and baby Orlaith), and then another cookout. Marlie held her own with the two boys on the play date. She loved the indoor play set, especially the slide. She showed no fear as she repeatedly came rushing down. She also showed no signs of tiring out after we left. I think she would have played all day if we let her.
