Here is a picture of Mari enjoying her first Thanksgiving. She really liked the pumpkin pie. She started to cry when I stopped feeding her!

Mari has been walking for over a month nowothing is safe anymore! She loves to go up and down the stairs which her really scares her mom and dad. :) Her first Christmas was lots of fun. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Schiff's for Christmas Eve and Grandma Sandy's on Christmas Day. We celebrated with Grandpa Mel and Diane the weekend after.New Years Eve we went to the Bogdens and little Miss Mari stayed up until 11:30!

Mari has 4 teeth now (the top 2 haven't completely poked out yet).

I was reading her five littles monkeys yesterday and it seemed liked she was singing along. The other night I went up stairs because she was crying in her crib and it looked like she was trying to escape because she had both legs hanging out! She is a very happy baby. She loves daycare and playing with her friends there. We are starting to ween her off the bottle. She has found her spots where she likes to "take care of business". :) She really likes music. Her favorite foods are yogurt, bananas, cheerios, and crackers.
