7 Months
When Makena was a baby I seriously took pictures of her in like every outfit she ever wore but I have not been quite as camera crazy with Marli. Although I must admit I still do have tons of pictures of her. Anyway, since she is now 7 months old and it has been awhile since I took some pics of her I decided to do a little photo shoot of my cute girl today. Those 7 months sure did fly by!

The Latest and Greatest!!
I'm not sure where to start...lately life is so crazy and busy (just like it is for everyone) but also so much fun, filled with so many sweet moments. The girls are growing so fast and they just make our life so happy! One thing that has been really exciting for me as the new year came around was realizing I made it through my first year being the Young Women's President in our ward. It has been a lot of work and a lot of time but so much fun at the same time. It was so nice to look back and see how well everything went and how much I love the girls and other leaders that I work with. Makena is still doing great in both her dance and preschool class. She is such a smart girl and is getting so grown up. She got to go on a field trip to the Tree House Museum about a month ago and was thrilled when she found out she got to ride a school bus, she has been wanting to ride a bus for a very long time. It was so fun to go with her and watch her experience new things. She also started Primary in January and LOVES it! Makena continues to be the best big sister to Marli, she is always so concerned for her and loves her so much. They are the cutest sisters. I love it! Marli is now 7 months, I can't believe it! I wish I could freeze her just the way she is right now, she is so much fun. She is the most happy, smiley baby. She laughs all the time and it is so funny and cute! She rolls over and is super close to sitting up on her own. She is a good little eater although at firt she wasn't too sure about baby food, she just wanted to spit it at us. She thought it was the funniest thing ever, but now she really likes it. Here are some pictures of some of the fun times over the past few months.
In December we went rock climbing with Grandma and Grandpa Wilding and Aunt Mandi and Uncle Cole while they were in town. Even little Kena gave it a try. It was tons of fun!

We went bowling and Makena thought the shoes were super cool! Here she is showing them off, it was a great time!
SISTERS! Just hanging our and having fun playing together!
5 Months Old
Getting big enough that she can play with her toy table, she is about 6 months here. She is pushing herself all around it now! She has lots of fun!!
Getting ready for bath time. Love that cute body! About 6 months old.
She started rolling just a few days before she was 6 months. She still isn't in love with the whole rolling thing, she prefers to stay on her back.
Makena made Valentines for her preschool class and got to pass them out at school. She picked Minnie Mouse Valentines. Here she is ready to go to her preschool in her cute Valentines outfit. It brought back memories of my childhood, I can't believe I know have a child taking Valentines to school.
We went to a little arcade here by our house for a fun family night, it was such a good night. Makena had a blast and we all enjoyed being together as a family.
In Febuary we rented out the "Flow Rider" with some of Shane's sisters and cousins on a Saturday for an hour. We all tried out our surfing skills and had a ton of fun and had a ton of wipe outs! Here we are getting the 3 second lesson, we are all excited and nervous!
Grandma Glee and Marli watching all the action.
We started Marli on solid foods at 6 months. For the first week she thought it was all a game and tried to see how far she could spit it. She was a mess every time she ate it...as frustrating as it was she was so stinking cute and made us all laugh. Makena was a big helper and loved feeding her. She isn't such a mess these days.
One thing Makena loves to do is dance to her music. Lately we have been having "dance parties", we turn the music up and dance all around. Usually we put Marli in her bumbo seat and dance around her, she loves the music and craziness! The bumbo has helped her sit up too, she is almost doing it on her own. Makena is an awesome dancer, I love watching all her moves. Good times!
Playing in Marli's crib.
Today we took advantage of the nice weather and Makena took her new bike for a ride!!
She picked up a friend along the way. Makena and our neighbor Mayzie, they played for a long time and had a great time. I can tell Makena is getting big because she loves other kids and wants to play with her friends all the time!
Even Marli enjoyed a little walk in the stroller.

Holidays
Well, I totally missed posting anything about the holidays but we had so many fun times that I thought I would share a few highlights:
HALLOWEEN! The girls were the cutest little witches ever! It was so fun to dress them up. We had lots of fun family parties...A little "Halloween Festival" with Grandma and Grandpa Wilding where we had yummy chilli, decorated cookies and they even had a fish pond for Makena to fish out prizes. I was a Gypsy, Grandma was Pinkalicious and the girls wore there "Nice Witch" costumes. With Shane's fam we made "Haunted Houses" out of grahm crackers and had tons of fun with all the cousins. Makena had a blast going Trick or Treating and I LOVED it too. She ran from house to house with her friends for over 2 hours and got tons of treats, it was fun watching her. Marli helped pass out candy with Papa. We loved having her here with us this Halloween.
THANKSGIVING! We had a delicious dinner with all of Shane's extended family, I think there was close to 60 people there. It was great food, great company and lots of running around with all the crazy kids. We also spent a lot of time with my family over the holiday since Mandi and Cole and also Jake and Whitney made it in town for a little while during the Thanksgiving season. It was so fun to see all of them and spend time with them. They all got to see and hold our Marli girl which was awesome! Of course Makena took full advantage of having her aunts and uncles around and played with them as much as possible, she loves them all so much. Having them around reminds us of how much we miss them when they are not here but we sure did have a great time with them!
CHRISTMAS! Well I could post like 20 pictures of all the fun times we had at Christmas but considering I have had this post half way done for over a month I am just going to highlight a few things and get it done! Our Christmas was filled with lots of family, lots of fun, lots of wonderful memories...it was perfect! Makena got a new pink bike with a basket! Just what she wanted from Santa. Marli wasn't sure what was going on but got excited with all her new toys and all the hugs and kisses from loved ones.

Growing too fast
Marli is almost 3 months old. The time has gone by so fast! They are little babies for such a short time, I try to soak it in as much as possible. We blessed Marli this month. It was such a special day! I can't believe its already over, time really has gone so fast. She looked darling in her white blessing dress, it was neat to have her wear the same dress that Makena was blessed in and it brought back lots of memories. I am thankful to have such a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Here are some pictures from her special day and of the last few weeks, also of her cute room that we just finished up. She is smiling a lot now, especially when we talk to her and it melts our hearts everytime.
