September 2007 - Playdates

This is when we had the playgroup over...


















It got a little crazy in the living room, so I took my bucket and ball and played by myself for awhile in the kitchen...


















Here I am negotiating a trade with Phoebe...

September 2007 - Developments in eating

So, at the beginning of the month I was clearly good at eating with my hands....



































But yesterday, for the first time, I actually fed myself with the spoon!


















































I guess it's still a bit of a mess, but we are making progress!

September 2007 - Fun at the Lake Claire Pool

C'mon Mom, when are we gonna get there?


















Get in Ma belly!


















I think I'm going to need this....


















Kiddy pool catch...


















This feels good!


















Have you seen my trident?

Marion Family Reunion

The reunion was amazing- almost every Marion was there- from as young as 3-months old- to as old as...well, older than that...all at Grandmama and Grandpa's house in Augusta!

As a family, we gathered to acknowledge the continuing bond and tradition of coming together in the Marion family. It was exciting for me to see how many aunts, uncles and cousins I have!

We also ate incredible food, brisket, ham beans, cake (I really like the cake)...and watched the Gamecocks beat Georgia!

Here are some pics...


















This is me with Daddy and my cousin Connie.


















Having fun with Aunt Katie (Aunt Peggy and Emma in the background).


















Making some noise with Finn (Uncle Allen in the background).


















With my sweet cousin, Ella.
