typical saturday morning

big boy donut

Well...for Marshall's 18 month birthday we treated him to a donut. And we didn't just do the munchkins this time, he got the whole thing! I think he was pretty happy about it. The whole time he ate it he said, "num num num." This might just bump his weight percentile back up again!

cool kid

Marshall has been loving his sun glasses or any glasses for that matter. Scott has had to make a conscious effort to put his glasses out of reach. Marshall has already done a good bit of damage to them. Anyway, he hasn't quite mastered putting them on by himself but since his response to me helping him is "do it," I guess he'll figure it out on his own.

Donut

I must start by saying, one of Marshall's favorite treats are donuts. His most favorite are the chocolate cake donuts at Dunkin's (he has great taste). Every once in awhile we will stop and get him a couple munchkins. He holds one in each of his chubby little hands and gets the sweetest little grin on his face. He will happily say, "doe-doe" while he eats.

One evening last week I was putting him to bed, we were lovingly looking at each other and this conversation took place:

me: "Marshall, I love you so much. You are such a good boy."

Marshall: "Mama?"

me: "Yes, buddy." (I was fully expecting him to say, "uv oo.")

Marshall: "Doe-doe."

me: "You love doe-does don't you?"

Marshall: "Good."

me: "You're right. Doe-does are good."

Marshall: "mmmmmm"

I love that boy, apparently HE just really LOVES donuts!

i love this picture

Scott asked for a kiss. He got a little more than he wanted.

18 month stats

Marshall and I went to the doctor this morning for his 18 month well check. He seems to be stretching out as his weight is no longer in the 90th percentile. I'm a little sad about this, he's looking more like a boy and less like a baby.

Stats:

weight-27 pounds (75th percentile)
height- 32 5/8 inches (75 th percentile)
head-large (no longer "off the charts big" though, 95th percentile)

And because I know a post is no fun without a picture; here's a picture of my boys. They kinda look alike huh? I love them!

blast from the past

THEN






NOW (We opted not to use the wings this year, he's just a little too big to get away with that. sniff. sniff.)
