You've come a long way baby!

I must have shut my eyes for a few moments because when I opened them...Marni had gotten so much bigger! Ok, maybe nobody else sees it but me...I guess only moms tend to pick up on these things. She just barely starting walking not too long ago and now she is running AWAY from me every chance she gets! Luckily she still wants to take her naps...I guess I still need something that reminds me of my baby. I'm not quite ready to call her a toddler yet, even though she is. And she is not shy either. The other night at the ward Christmas night, she was flirting relentlessly with a much older man at the table next to us. She loves any attention anyone gives her...she is alot like her older brother. In this picture, she has taken over Jayden's dollhouse. Jayden doesn't even play with it anymore (I guess she thinks she has outgrown it but I say not yet by a long shot!). Marni finds any little toy she can get a hold of and finds a place in her dollhouse for it. All three of my kids like to collect things; Jayden still collects rocks and seashells, Trey finds rocks and (due to his grandma cutler) has a nice collection of banks, and Marni also collects rocks and has now decided to collect any of her older siblings toys she can get and stash them in her dollhouse. What is it with the rocks?
