Silly Girl!

Mari thinks it's fun to sit in Nadia's car seat. Sometimes she pretends that she's sleeping until someone says something. Funny girl!

Birthday Party

I think Mari was most excited about the M&M's!

Mari's birthday isn't for a couple of weeks but since we had almost all of both families here for the baptism we decided to be crazy and have her party too! She was very excited about her Bob and Larry cake! She still talks about it. Thankfully we still have Bob left over to eat on her actual birthday.

More Baptism Pictures

The whole Nordlund clan. We were shocked to actually get a picture with everyone!

Baptism of Nadia Marie

The outfit that Nadia is wearing not only did Mari wear but so did Kyle and most of his siblings!
The fam, without Chubby

We are so blessed that my brother Ryan performed the baptism. Thank you Ryan! You did such a wonderful job, we are so grateful! Of course since there was so much chaos I forgot to video it and now I'm kicking myself!

This just shows you about how many people were there! We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends!

"Long Dress On"

Mari loves to take my clothes and put them on and says that they're long dresses. She then loves to spin in circles until she falls down. That doesn't take too long since she trips on the dress!

Panties

We're starting to TRY to potty train Mari. She loves to wear her panties but she is still having a hard time telling me when she needs to go. She'll get there, I hope soon!

Big Sister!

Mari LOVES being a big sister. Every morning she comes into our room, not to see Mommy, but to see Nadia. One of her favorites things to say to me is, "Nadia came out!" She is such a wonderful big sister and is becoming a great helper too!

Mmmm....Brownies!

Mari loves to help me in the kitchen. Of course I think that's because she's learned that she gets to "sample" the items being made. Oddly enough sometimes she "samples" without Mommy's knowledge!

Home!

Here we are! Taking our new little one home. I don't know who was more excited, Mommy, Daddy or Mari!
