Picture of the Day

I think this smile looks a bit more natural than the ones I posted yesterday.

Smile

We've been trying to teach Marsh to smile on command. This might have been a mistake! Whenever we say, "Hey Marsh, can you smile?" He tilts his chin up and gives us this goofy smile. Man oh man, I love this kid!

Crazy Boy

When Marshall was first born we really tried to push the pacifier. I couldn't understand why he couldn't keep the pacifier in his mouth by himself. He would suck on it as long as Scott or I would hold it in his mouth for him. I remember a couple weeks after bringing him home asking Scott, "How long does it take babies to learn to keep it in their mouth by themselves?" Then I saw a baby that was just a couple of days old happily sucking on her pacifier (with no assistance). I then realized that he just wasn't going to be a pacifier kid.

You can imagine my surprise when he pulled a pacifier out of his toy box, popped it in his mouth, and sucked on it! It didn't last too long, he really was just playing. He then spit it out and started laughing.

Halloween Take 2

On Trick or Treat night we decided to break out the penguin costume since we had it anyway. One of the animal noises Marshall knows is the elephant, he would make the sound whenever we put the elephant costume on him and move his arm like an elephant trunk (which was pretty cute). What was funny is that he did the same thing when we put the penguin on him. He looked like one confused little penguin. He has since learned that a penguin goes "wa, wa, wa" (waddle, waddle, waddle). Love this boy!

It didn't take him long to figure out how the whole trick or treat thing worked.

I love that smile!

Loving Fall

Marshall loves it when his cousins are here to play and I have a hunch his cousins don't mind being here to play with him either. Yesterday was a beautiful fall day and we had some good play time outside. These boys are the best!

Marshall would much rather his cousins push him than me. I think it has something to do with the speed at which he is pushed...
they run full force.

Trick or Treat

I know no costume will beat the hot dog from last year but we had to come up with something. By "come up with," I mean whatever my sister had as a hand-me-down. We had two choices 1.) an elephant 2.) a penguin. We went with the elephant. Once he realized he couldn't get the hat off he just went with it. Gosh, I love this kid!





He looks more like a mad rabbit in this pic.
precious.
