On October 26th Marina turned one! It is unbelievable how fast her first year went! She has been so much fun. She enjoyed her little birthday party...she tasted her first bite of cake and ice cream and was fairly dainty about it...just like her sister was! She loved opening her presents and playing with her new toys.

Marina is walking now. She really took off on her birthday. She had been walking a few weeks before but that was just a few steps here and there.  After her birthday party, walking became her new game. She still crawls but more and more often she's starting to walk around the house instead.

She doesn't say much. Lacey still does all the talking! :) But we know when she tries to say bottle, ball, bath, dog, dad, mom, and the word more.

Marina is are little ball of fire. She keeps moving and loves to be busy. She is quickly learning how to defend herself (her toys) by screaming when Lacey seems like she is coming too close. Haha I can see the days of arguements ahead!

We all have enjoyed our little Marina and can't wait to see how she will continue to change!
