love these boys.

These two are the best! It's so sweet watching Scott read to Marshall and Marshall loves this time with his daddy.

My sister purchased this particular book for Marshall because it's about a crocodile. Marshall has a slight, or some might say a major obsession with "crocs." He literally asks about "crocs" several times throughout the day. You can imagine how popular this book has become at our house. There is a "croc" on every page! Thanks for the "croc" book sis. He LOVES it.

For Nana

Marshall's Nana has a slight, or some might say a major obsession with Elvis.

Hey Nana! He's got that Elvis lip curl down, don't you think?

obviously we care THAT much about dental hygiene...

who doesn't?

Happy Thanksgiving

I am so thankful for this little guy!

we're just classy like that...

At what age will he understand that it is not polite to eat with a foot on the table? Clearly we aren't there yet!

Picture of the Day

There are no words.

big boy...but still my baby

Not so much a baby anymore...more like a big boy. A real live big boy.
Marshall turned 15 months old over the weekend and I am just now getting around to blogging about it (at least I'm getting to it now). Marshall has changed so much since I last did a month birthday blog (last one was at 12 months...oops)!

We took Marshall to the doctor on Friday.

weight: 27 pounds 9 ounces (90th percentile)
length: 31 inches (75th percentile)
head: still "off the charts big" (They literally don't give us any numbers when it comes to his head circumference, that's how big it is.)

What's Marshall up to these days?
-into everything cars, trucks, boats, and planes
-loves books, I mean LOVES them (most days I can't even get breakfast cleaned up and he is pulling me into the living room with a book in his hand)
-saying more words than I can count, he is quite verbal!
-sleeping late (oh, how I have waited for this day to come)
-going on an eating strike... so that weight should continue to "trend down" as the doctor says
-still loves his loveys (we have to wave and say "bye-bye" to them every morning and drop them back in the crib, otherwise he would carry them around all day...and that's just not okay)
-fascinated by the moon and stars
-"side" (outside) is his most favorite place to be
-he is non-stop motion all the time, which causes him to completely crash at nap time and bedtime

Marshie-Moo we love you! I told Aunt Sis today that you are more than I ever prayed for. I've thought about that more and I have come to realize that you are more than I even ever knew to pray for. You are the most precious gift and I am so thankful for you. You are my sweet sweet boy and I can't remember what life was like without you. I imagine it was pretty boring. Little buddy, you're the best! And even though you are becoming such a big boy, in a way... you'll always be my baby.
