The finished product
Marlee has been growing so fast! She is 9 months old now! She loves to scoot everywhere & she has started crawling too. She has started to pull herself up into the standing position. She has 2 teeth & counting. She loves to stick out her tounge. She loves bath time, swinging in the swing, going on bike rides, & walks. She gets into everything lately- she has learned how to tip the trash can over, she loves to play with paper & eat it & she puts anything in her mouth- she is a chow hound! She loves her family- when she sees her brothers or parents she waves her arms & smiles. One of my favorite things is when she crawls over to me & grabs my legs & says mamamama- it melts me every time. She says mama, dada, baba, lala & loves to babble. She will only snuggle occasionally, she does not stay still very long & she is a bundle of joy. She has brought so much happiness into our lives. Having her has been very healing for me. I think about Cooper often, I wonder what his likes & dislikes would have been, when he would have reached milestones, what he would look like today. I would love to see a little 2 year old running around the house- I often imagine him running down the hall with something to tell me. I will be so happy when the day comes that I can hold him in my arms & tell him that I love him, & that he was dearly missed. The house does not feel as empty now that we have Marlee but, every child brings with them their own special spirit. I look forward to the day when we can all be together as a family. Every trial brings with it a blessing in disguise. I know that I am a better Mom to Marlee because we lost Coop. I really enjoy every day with her. She is one smart girl with her timing, because coming after we lost Cooper & being the 1st girl, she has us all wrapped around her finger. I love all my children & am grateful that Heavenly Father has sent them to Laun & I. May I strive to continually be a better mom & find joy in the journey.
Marlee loved tasting an oreo- I love her grin.
Marlee has a big grin on her face so often.
Here she is trying to eat paper as fast as she can before I grab it from her.
She is starting to pull herself up- to get into mischief of course.
She loves to stick out her tounge

She thinks that Laun should hold her 24/7. Here she is crawling under the chair trying to get to him.
I love how her hair looks like she put her finger in a light socket when she rides in her stroller. You can see her 2 teeth in this picture.
Here she is chillin in her stroller
Clayton lost his 4th tooth!
Here he is checking out his new look in the mirror
Porter has been begging for a mohawk ever since he saw his friend from preschool with one. Since he is on fall break Laun said he could have one for a week, he is pretty excited about it!
