Hello Everyone!!
Sorry that it has taken me awhile to update the blog. Life has been crazy busy, but a good kind of crazy. :-) I was home for a week when we returned and then right back to work. So, between work, getting the house baby proofed, doctor's appointments, visits, and showing off Marina to everyone---there just hasn't been much time.
Marina has been to the doctor and has been declared a very healthy baby!!! She is growing taller and gaining weight. She is learning to adjust to a carseat, as it is not her most favoritest thing!! :-) Her two bottom teeth are really coming in, and she looks just like a very cute jack-o-lantern. Her appetite is still good, as is her humor. And, she is not spoiled at all---just a ton!!! Thanks to baba and poppy, mostly. She plays pat-a-cake, so big, and peek-a-boo. It was fun when we took her to the eye doctor when he tried to cover one eye--she kept moving to play peek-a-boo. She loves books and has her favorite pictures that she kisses. She likes music and even shakes her booty sometimes. She is walking along furniture and getting into everything. The dogs have adjusted well and they give her lots of kisses, slobbery, gooey, sticky kisses.
She has a bear named Timothy Sergei and Ryan, namesakes from her friends in Kazakhstan, and she greets them with a hug and kiss every morning.
Right now, she is not being spoiled by Poppy, as they are literally hopping around the loft as I write. She misses Uncle Paul and Aunt Kim and also Aunt Lena, too. They helped take such good care of her. We heard from Ceil today, and it was great to receive the communication. We hope to talk with both her and Susan soon.
Not too much else to report. I will try to update the blog occaisionally, as I get time, so that you can see pictures of Marina as she grows. Mom has been on my case to update it., I am home today, as I have a sinus infection thingy and was to the doctor. So, thought I would take advantage of a free minute!!!
Love to you all,
The Weidmans
