The Best Birthday Gift

Yesterday was my birthday...yep, another year older. It was a great day. I got to do lots of things I enjoy. Here's a running list: Kaden sang to me first thing in the morning, Jason made me breakfast, I took Marin to have her picture taken, Kaden helped Jason make me chocolate chip cookies, I got to spend some time scrapbooking, we all took a nap, had dinner at Red Robin, and we ended the day watching Made of Honor and eating warm chocolate chip cookies! It truely was a great day. But,....the best gift of all...Marin smiled at me! Yep, our baby is growing up! She smiled at us a few times yesterday. It was sooo cute! So, since I typically write about Kaden (he is a bit more animated), here's a post about what Marin likes and dislikes at 6 weeks old. (at her one month dr. apt she was 23 inches long and weighed 11 pounds 6 ounces..both putting her in the 95% for her age)

LIKES

* being warm

* sleeping on her belly

* not having her diaper on

* being held up on your shoulder

* riding in the van

* her swing and bouncy seat

DISLIKES

* getting dressed and undressed

* being cold

* baths (because they include both of the above)

* her pacifier (usually, although occassionally she will try it)

* getting put into her carseat

* taking (or trying to take) a bottle
