14 pounds and counting

So from the title you might have thought this blog was going to be talking about Aislin. Well you were wrong. Aislin is up in the 15 lb. mark, but at 5 months old she has only put on 7 pounds since she was born (she weighed a little over 8lbs coming home from the hospital). No this blog is about Marra. Last January Marra weighed 64 lbs and looked great, she was also in the gym 6 days a week cheering and tumbling. The picture below is from last cheer season when she was right around 64 lbs.


If you read back over my blogs, Marra was down to 54 lbs in June after all her medical problems.
Below is a picture taken on the 4th of July. She was so skinny she looked unhealthy.


The next picture was at the beach about a month and a half later, she was starting to put on weight at this time, but still was too skinny.


Tonight she just happened to put on the same swim suit to go in Mama Lou and Pappy Jim's hot tub. She looks so much healthier! She is up to 68 lbs!! That is 14 lbs in 5 months!





She has yet to put all her muscle definition back, and we are only in the gym 2 days a week this year. But she is healthy and happy. She has also grown 2 inches in the past 3 months and gone up 2.5 shoes sizes.



This is Marra at the beginning of October carving pumpkins with cousin Ethan!
