"More Nice!...pease!!"

The title of this post is what Maren's current phrase is when someone does something to her she doesn't like...we laugh.

So the other day as Maren and I were about to eat lunch, I hear Maren behind our bedroom door saying,'mommy?' pease! mommy'. I walk back there and find she has locked herself in the room, and there are no keys in our house that un-lock it. So while we waited for our owner to come, here's the cute view I saw. I'd pass her crackers and other items to keep her mind off the fact that she was STUCK:)

Andy had Cesar Chavez day off in the middle of the week, so we went to the Newport temple! It was such a pretty day.

Here's our first attempt at pony-tails! She has yet to need her first haircut.

It's been really fun lately teaching Maren things! Since she was a babe, she has LOVED music\sounds. One time while Andy and I were chatting, we looked over and she had turned on all of her toys that make sound at once and was smiling and dancing around. So now that she can understand words to songs, we like to hear her voice much better than our own!!

Here's the ABC's. She's just started showing interest in letters, and points out the "MAIN" letters she knows while we drive! It's so funny...'A for Andrew, D-Daddy, M-Meee!'

I'm feeling pretty good, only 8 more weeks to go! I've been in way more pain this pregnancy than last, so that was a surprise. It makes me way more excited to have this little girl out in our arms rather than in my tummy! We still aren't sure on a name, and although we don't want to, we may have to wait till we see her...
