All about Maren

marker and runny nose on her face

Maren has changed so much in the last few months. She's growing up way too fast. Here is a little update on what she is up to.
Maren can walk, run and climb. She is quite the climber. She loves to climb up on the piano bench and play the piano. She also loves to climb up on the kitchen chairs.
Maren doesn't say many words yet, but she communicates pretty well. She can say mama, dada, un-uh(no), Stella (her doll), bye, uh-oh, nana (bedtime),look and what's that. She also nods her head yes or no and is usually accurate with her answers. She is quite the tease. She loves to run away and be chased, especially when it's time to leave the house. She loves to explore and play with her sisters toys. She likes to "help" mom with the laundry and cleaning. She loves playing with her big sisters and loves when daddy comes home. She likes to color. She got a hold of a dry-erase marker the other day. She colored all over herself, the windows, the window-sill and my book. She's a good girl, but she certainly has a temper. If she doesn't get her way, look out. She can scream and cry for a very long time.
We often call Maren the Gremlin, or Little Miss Mischief. She is always getting into something. She dumped out all of the pictures in our gospel art picture kit and spread them all over the floor. It amazes me how much damage she can do in seconds, let alone minutes.
Maren has been more lovey lately. She will give hugs and kisses at bed time, and she will also kneel down for family prayer. She is such a sweet, good girl. I'm so happy she's part of our family.
