Little Chair-Septmeber 4, 2011

Marcella was given this chair by her Grandma Burger; she loves it! Marci especially enjoys climbing in and out of the chair...over and over and over.

Baby Wildcat

Over Labor Day Weekend, we took Marcella to her first ever K-State tailgate and football game. The weather was perfect and Marci did great! She almost made it through the entire game awake, but did fall asleep during the 4th quarter. K-State came out with their first win of the season; it was a great evening to be a wildcat! But, her dad and I both agree that attending a football game with a 7 month old definitely puts a new spin on the "usual" football game routine; however, we survived and so did Marcella.

Marci showing Frank and Carl the proper form for a one-handed chug; someday these skills may come in handy.


Tailgating with Auntie Suzanne Blakely!


Cheering on her Wildcats!


Her first official wave! During the 3rd quarter, the cheerleaders were in front of our seats. Marci lifted her left hand and moved her left hand in a waving motion. Yet another sign that has us thinking she just might be a lefty.


Getting her hat signed by Willey!


Go State, Go!


Good for another first down!


Nothing but smiles...this was right before she crashed and K-State scored the winning touchdown right in front of our seats. She didn't even budge with all the noise from the crowd.

Wrigley's Kisses

I would not be telling the truth if I said Wrigley doesn't love Marcella. I don't think a day has passed since her birth of which Wrigley didn't get a lick or two on little Marci's face. Some parents might freak about this, but it is just a part of growing up in our house. Wrigley has become an even bigger fan now that Marci has learn to eat with one hand and feed her and Nellie with the other.

A New Kind of Hair Gel

This is what happens when you style your hair with apples!

Window to the World

In the month of August, Marcella went from a baby learning to crawl to a full crawl and pulling up on anything she can get her little hands on. Each day she continues to amazes us on her ability to move; we think she is part billy goat! Every morning it is a part of her routine to sit at our front door and talk to anything and everything that passes by. It's her window to the world, and she LOVES it! These are a few pictures I took of her looking out after church on August 21.
