Buckeye Bball

The Buckeye Basketball team is ranked #1 right now, so we have been happy to sport our scarlet and gray and watch the games. O-H-I-O

Rolling!!!

Marcus started the day with a big milestone...rolling. The strange thing is that he has learned how to roll from his back to stomach, which seems harder than stomach to back.

Proud little guy.

I made him practice all day long and he got better each time. Marcus is now on the move (a tiny bit).

Tummy - Wah wah

Marcus still is not a big fan of being on his tummy. I have been trying hard to build up his tolerance. He usually just gives me this look that says "How much longer?" But I can get him a little excited about the situation if I talk a good talk to him.

He is close to being able to get up on all fours. There's a lot of weight to push up...so it's going to take some work!

Sweetness Captured

These photos really reflect Marcus and his sweet personality. I knew there was a reason I like photography.

First Big Snow

We got a bit of snow right after Christmas, but this is Marcus' first REALLY BIG snow.

Daddy said there was no time for photos when there was so much shoveling to do (I still managed to get a few).
The winter wonderland was beautiful.
It was so cute the way Owen and Marcus just sunk into the snow.

First Pancake Day

Mommy often makes pancakes on the weekend, and today Marcus enjoyed his first pancake. This is actually one of the first non-baby food thing that he has eaten...and he ate it all. If anything, Marcus is a good eater!!!

Window Gazing

Marcus was thrilled to look out the window...maybe it was the rarely seen sunshine...or it could be that he's just always happy. Always so adorable!

Eating!

Marcus has been doing great about eating finger foods. He manages to get most stuff in his mouth, so his coordination is improving a lot. He really seems to enjoy feeding himself.

Let's Get Rolling!

Marcus has been so close to rolling over for the longest time. Grandma and Grandpa's house was a great place to practice with their new, soft carpet. Grandpa was great about getting on the floor with Marcus and encouraging him to roll.

Grandma and Grandpa Day

Sadly, we had to extend our stay in Cleveland because Great-Grandma Wade passed away at 96. But luckily Grandma and Grandpa Kuder got to have a special day with the boys. They went to the Rain Forest exhibit at the Cleveland Zoo and had a fun time together.

Giddy with Grandma

Marcus has been so smitten with being able to stand up and Grandma was happy to help out in the fun.

Kuder Family

Grandma had an open house for all the Kuder family to come visit. This was the first time that most of them met Marcus, so he was quite the center of attention.

Hello 2011

We spent New Years Day visiting the Hauptmans and Kilbanes. These are good friends of Brian's from high school. All the kids together were quite the handful...but so cute. Pictured above are Alex Hauptman, Kaitlyn Kilbane, Marcus Kuder, Brady Kilbane and Owen Kuder.
