2 Months: Miss Marlo

Marlo turned 8 weeks old this past Monday evening. Coincidentally, we had good, old friends from Austin over and I made Momofuku's crazy compost cookies using this mix.  The first batch were a bit overdone, but the second batch came out perfect.  Potato chips, pretzels, graham crackers, coffee, and butterscotch + choco chips?  Taste explosion in your mouth and a fine way to celebrate.

At 8 weeks, Marlo is so alert and observant!  She loves to interact, as well. She recently became much more talkative and makes loads of noises.  We have "conversations" with each other and papa, mimicking each others' noises and facial expressions.  Well, we mimic hers at least.  It's hard to tell if she's mimicking us, yet, although sometimes it seems she is.  She's stopped giggling in her sleep, although I hope I'm wrong because I would love to catch it on film!  Sadly, she's also stopped sleeping on our chests.  She still loves her snuggles, but prefers the roller coaster arms on our bed these days.
