Update

Marcus is now 10 months old. Time flies by so fast! I am now trying to figure out and plan his one year birthday party and photo session.
You can see the Marcus's first tooth. He got the second one, right next to it, shorty after. He now has the 2 on the bottom and hopefully the rest won't be so painful. He was cutting 2 teeth and getting a flu shot on the same week. Poor guy! He is such a happy, chill baby boy, but that was a week of sorrow. I was afraid his favorite Auntie Melissa would quit as his babysitter after a week of "crack baby" Marcus with no naps and drama. I'm glad we all made it through and hope his booster flu shot won't cause more drama (he got it today).

Marcus is supposed to be sleeping!

Marcus in awe of his first big snow storm. He is "helping" his dad shovel the driveway and sidewalks. (Michael was broken for weeks after foot of snow on Saturday, Wednesday and the next Sunday...we get a LOT of snow in West Jordan!)

Marcus's favorite holiday so far...Thanksgiving! This picture is after he grabbed a handful of my pumpkin pie. He LOVES pumpkin pie! We had dinner with Nana and Grandpa Dodge at Little America in Wyoming. It was so nice that we didn't have to do dishes after it was all done.

Hanging out with Nana after his big meal. Nana helped Marcus get in touch with his Native roots. He learned the "token Indian" drum beat and "the" chant. The chant was easy because he new the words - "aaah aaah aaah, aaah aaah aaah". Anytime I do the drum beat, he gets so excited and starts smiling a HUGE grin.

Marcus drumming on pans with his Grandpa.

Spiderman, spiderman...

  1. I LOVE Marcus in his spiderman shirt. There were a few days that I didn't know if we would make it during 'crack baby' stage. We were both crying by the end of the day...and I still got a good night's rest. The booster is going to be smooth sailing, I know it! Cute cute pics, gorgeous little baby :)

  2. I'm glad you made it through "crack baby" phase! I would love to be home with Marcus but if I can't (which I can't) the next best thing to me is you. He doesn't get his mama all day, but he get's his Auntie who is almost better. Love you!

    I'm sending positive vibes to Marcus that his booster shot will be no problemo. It was also during the phase of "I can stand up in my crib but I can't sit back down..." Hopefully...
