Our Baylor Bear

Sic' em Bears!


Marshall even eats green and gold!

It won't be long

Before too long we will have a crawler on our hands. Marshall has been getting up on his knees and rocking back and forth over the last several days. He hasn't figured out how to move himself forward yet. He sure is good at moving backwards though! I got a few pictures of him practicing.









he even tries out this new skill in bed

My Crazy Boy

We were playing on the floor with Marshall one night before bed and he started rolling all over the place. That is not unusual, however, on this night, he took the blanket with him as he rolled. He ended up all wrapped up in the blanket. It was pretty funny!

Six Month Stats and a Picture

Marshall had his six month appointment yesterday. His ears have not improved even after four days of an antibiotic. His doctor switched medications and we are hoping that will clear it up. He continues to tug on his right ear so we know it is bothering him. Anyway, let's get to the big boys' six month stats...

weight: 21 pounds 1 ounce--95th percentile
height: 26 and 3/4 inches--75th percentile





and...one pic because what fun is a post with no pictures?

For the Record

Behind this cheesy little grin is Marshall's first tooth. It can barely be seen, but there is definitely a tooth poking through his bottom gum!

Happy Birthday

Hey I-Pa,
I'm in my birthday suit. How about you?

My Little Valentine is Six Months Old

Marshall is six months old today! I can't believe he is already 6 months, the time really does fly. Strangers have come to us and said, "Enjoy this time. They grow up so quickly." When he was a newborn I was so tired and thought, I just can't wait for him to sleep through the night. Then he did, and I thought, I just can't wait for him to sit up on his own. Now, I want to slow this whole thing down. Looking back, I would have enjoyed the quiet time we spent together in the rocking chair at 1a.m. and 4a.m. a little more. I probably would have lingered a little longer, kissed a few extra kisses, snuggled a few extra snuggles and not been in such a rush to get back to my bed. A friend recently told me, "the days are long but the years are short." There is such truth in that statement. While I can't slow down time, I can slow down and enjoy the time, even though it truly does go so quickly.

Marshall is currently...
*smiling and laughing all the time
*eating solid food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and some milk before bed) (peas are his favorite food)
*sleeps 7:00-7:00 (he wakes up SO happy)
*napping two times a day, about two hours each nap
*attempting to crawl (we have caught him up on his knees a bunch, he just needs to start pushing himself forward)
*loving to take walks (we do this about three times a day, he loves to be outside)

My baby is getting to be such a big boy.

We love you Marshall Man! Of course we celebrated with a photo shoot. Enjoy!





Who's six months? Yep, this turkey is six months!
