20 Months Old

Marcus has been all about discovering the world around him lately. He is becoming more and more independent and his days of dependency on others is quickly coming to a close. It makes me a little sad, but also excited because I cannot wait to see what kind of little boy Marcus is going to be. He is a happy guy full of laughs and playfulness. I have really enjoyed watching him grow, learn and develop such a great personality.

Milestones

• Moves around with great efficiency that he can sneak away so quickly. He has this incredibly cute short step run that always accompanies laughter. He just loves to chase and be chased. With help, he loves to walk down the stairs.
• Climbs up onto the couch.
• Talking more and more. “All done.” “Backhoe” “Puppy”
• Everything is known as Elmo.
• Loves playing Freeze Dance with Mommy and Owen.
• Wants to color with Owen.
• Answers yes/no questions with words or gestures.
• Is quite the helper and actually helps pick up toys!

Happy Thanksgiving

 Grandma and Grandpa Wade came for Thanksgiving this year and we have a wonderful time celebrating with them. Marcus really enjoyed his turkey dinner...can't you tell?!!!

Little, Big Reader

Marcus has a new routine before bed where he wants to get into Mommy and Daddy's bed to read books. How can a parent say no to that?

Marcus and his iGadgets

Marcus loves to play with the iPhone and iPad. Daddy loves when he can get Marcus to chill playing with the iGadgets. Like father, like son.

My Marcus!

These are some of my favorite new photos of Marcus. Everything about them screams Marcus and his personality. You can see his charm and mischief as well as his innocence, joy and playfulness. He just melts my heart completely.

So Typical

Marcus - playing with trucks. Such a typical boy. Marcus loves his trucks and makes the most perfect truck sounds. It is actually fun to watch him play.

Happy 35th Birthday, Daddy!

Today we celebrated Daddy's 35th birthday. The best part...cake, of course!

True Fit Halloween Party

Brian's company had a Halloween party for all the families, and we went ready for fun.

 They had games for kids, one of which was this doughnut eating contest that was hilarous. Marcus decided he wanted in on the fun and instead of trying to eat the doughnut, he decided to try and eat Owen.
