Baby B

Mallory Claire Chamblee is the official baby of the family & was lovingly known throughout my pregnancy as Baby B. Even while in the womb, she was quite the little firecracker, continually kicking me in the ribs, & she hasn't slowed down since.

Brand new at just 4 lb 12 ozMallory, also known as Mallorina, Sweet Pea, Miss Priss & Princess, is our loud-mouthed little ball of energy. She is very outgoing & loves to flash big smiles at anyone who will look her way. From the beginning, she's been a big "talker," even if there were no real words involved. Now she loves to say Hi, Ma-ma, Da-da & her version of Uh-oh.

Mal loves to dance & will immediately start bouncing if she hears any kind of rhythm or song. She bobs her little head & grins up at you like she's never had so much fun. She took her first official steps yesterday. There were only two of them, but we're sure more will follow soon. She loves to explore & follow her big brother around the house.

Mal inspects everything, from food to fuzz, with her pinchers (that's peen-churs, not pin-churs). She holds her thumb & forefinger together so delicately & picks things up with great precision. It makes watching her eat quite entertaining! Mallory isn't big on performing specific tricks for you, but she loves to play peekaboo & loves to be tickled. Her girly little giggle is just so sweet! Mal has always been our drama queen, but that's part of her zany nature that makes her so unpredictable & funny. We couldn't be prouder of our baby girl! Here are Mallory's growth pictures over the last 11 months.
