Subway Ride

We made a trip into Cambridge and decided to jump on the subway for a quick lunch downtown. Marcus was super thrilled with the subway ride. Anything train like has Marcus written all over it.

22 Months Old

I'm not sure I'm allowed to call Marcus little any more. He is getting so big, and it bursting with personality. He is vocal about his wants, likes and dislikes. He has so much energy that it is hard to keep up at times. But he is pefect in every way possible. I wish he could stay my little boy forever.

22 Month Milestones:

• Knows a lot of his animal sounds. He is so cute when you ask him what sound a sheep makes and he says “Baaaaa”.
• Will say “I see…” and usually tell us something that we can’t always make out. His speech is coming. Very slowly coming. If I ask him to try and say a word, he tries. Many times it is understandable. But he is still figuring out how to put it all together. Not talking in sentences at all. He has very few phrases as well. He understands so much more than he can say.
• Marcus loves to read or just look at books. You can often catch him looking at a book and pretending to read it to himself. Super cute. He loves reading books that have peek-a-boo type flap pages. He loves an interactive story.
• Hide and Seek lends lots of enjoyment for Marcus. His favorite place to hide is in our laundry hamper. It is hilarious how he’ll help take all the clothes out and sit quietly in there until he is found.
• Is doing a great job eating with a spoon and fork on his own.
• Marcus is so cute when he starts to blow on his food that I tell him might be a little hot.

Those Boots!

Marcus adores these boots and insists on putting them on all the time. They are still a bit big for him, but he doesn't seem to mind. Hearing him say "boots" is just the cutest thing.

Snow Removal

We got some snow so the boys wanted to help Daddy shovel the drive. Marcus was a bit adamant that he didn't want to wear gloves. I tried mittens, gloves, but what he ended up liking was...

Mommy's gloves! And then he decided that his mower was the perfect substitute for a snow blower. So funny!

Mischievous Marcus

Marcus loves to climb into things, though he can't always get out!

A Little Boy and His Trains

Marcus totally adores the train set. Endless hours of fun.

Good Habits

Marcus is becoming more and more independent.  He wants to brush his teeth all by himself (and this includes turning the water on and off!)
