Marissa is 16 months, and has gone through many changes over this past year. She started out the year in January with an airplane ride on a cold cargo plane to the U.S. We stopped in Alaska, then on to Washington State for two weeks. She is a climber!!! Mom spends part/most of every day telling her to sit down, get off the table, get down off the back of the couch, off the counter, etc… She has climbed out of her crib once (and fell on her head), she climbed over the baby gate once, and then after climbing the stairs fell down the top three and blacked her eye and cut her cheek. She constantly has bumps and bruises all over herself! She loves music, and no matter what she is doing… if music starts she has to bop to the beat of the music. She is a silly little thing and loves to make people laugh. Her favorite game these days is to stop & look at you when called, grin a mischievous grin and run away from you laughing all the while! This game cracks her up! She will play it for hours with her sisters… running in circles through the house. Mom doesn't like this game so much.
