Henderson Update

Things have been changing around here yet again, and we sure are busy! 

Here's what we've been up to...

Jason: Started working a new job up on campus as a bus driver. He really likes it a lot and it is a lot less stressful than Olive Garden. Since he stopped working at Olive Garden we get to see him on weekends and holidays which hasn't happened in YEARS! Jason also got a new calling as the ward clerk and that has him busy attending bishopric meetings and keeping the ward organized. 

Jen: Once Jason got his new job, I was able to quit working at TJ Maxx and stay home with Marlene. My schedule was conflicting with Jason's too much and so I put in my 2 weeks awhile back. I'm so glad to be out of that stressful/crazy atmosphere and have fun at home with my baby girl. I also just got a new calling as the 2nd Sunday Relief Society teacher. I taught this last week and it was great!

Marlene: Our crazy girl now has 11 teeth, including 2 molars with a 3rd poking through. She is also completely done with bottles! (Can I get an AMEN?!) The transition went really smooth, and she now drinks milk out of a sippy cup twice a day. Thankfully, she really likes sleep and doesn't need a bottle to crash at the end of the day. 

Right now she likes: 

sitting in her new pink chair

watching bubble guppies and saying "Bubble! Bubble!"

climbing on EVERYTHING

following us down the hall

any chance she gets to play in her room

playing in water (either bath or outside)

being loud at church

wrapping herself up in her blankie

saying "Uh oh" every time she drops something

sneaking things off the table or counter

eating Applejacks

When she sees Daddy for the first time in awhile, and excitedly says: "Hi dada!" 

She doesn't like:

getting in trouble for sneaking things off the table or counter

when the fridge is opened (It is her life mission to close that door!)

 long car rides/sleeping in the car

when mommy tries to feed her things with a spoon
waking up sweaty
when someone goes outside without her

We've had lots of fun introducing Marley to new things like sprinklers and kiddie pools lately to beat the heat. We have a water baby on our hands here, and she is not scared at all! This is from a few weeks ago where we introduced her to this toy:

We're also going to start introducing Marley to nursery at church which will hopefully go well. She's not a clingy baby by any means, I'm just mostly worried about her being cranky. Church is during nap time, so we might have a few meltdowns. 

Our little family is enjoying some down time after being busy with trips to Disneyland and my mom coming to visit last week. We're barbequing a lot, eating ice cream, and having fun playing with our crazy girl.
