One post a year

Wow, I didn't realize I only did 1 post last year. I'm terrible! Well, Marcus is 5, Malcom is 7 months next week. Marcus is a beast. He's extremely tall and he's 45lbs. now. That's nearly 10 lbs in the last year. CRAZY. He's still not a great eater, but improving.

Today he told me that it was a good thing that God told me to get all the boxes of chocolate cheerios off of the shelf at Kmart, because he really likes them a lot.
He's pretty cute.
Marcus is just loving preschool at Parkview. He loves his friends and loves school in general I think. Now we just have to figure out how to get this kid to go all night without wetting the bed~

Malcom is now sitting up, and saying mommom and dadda when he sees either one of us. He says mommom all night when we're up hanging out and as soon as Will comes out of the room he switches to dadda. So precious. That boy is 16lbs and very long and skinny! A trait the Stanton side OBVIOUSLY gave him.

M's 4 year old appt.

So, I'm realizing I should be posting all the hilarious things Marcus says. Here are a few:

Mommy, I really miss sausage! (I decided to hold off on getting sausage for a month since he's eaten it for a year almost daily. We do give turkey sausage a lot of the time)

Mom, did you know in that fish book the names twirly whirly and twisty twirly rhyme? They rhyme with Fuh. Like Fuh-fish. ( he obviously needs more direction on what rhyming is!)

His 4 year old check up went like this:

3'6" tall
size 13 shoe
36lbs.
That is a whole lot taller and only 2lbs heavier from his 3 year old check up.
He's going to be a string bean like his dad.

Marcus' favorite thing to play right now is anything car related. He also loves his bucking bronc his papa gave him for his bday.

He also is a budding chef and loves to savor every flavor he can. He likes to find opposite flavors and take a bite of each and chew in his mouth at the same time. I think it's funny because that's exactly what the rat on ratatouille (however you spell that) does!
He's some pig, that's for sure.

So the Christmas post didn't work!

But here is a little update on the big man. Marcus turned 4 on the 26th and since I've been feeling sick more and more these days I decided to make it easy on myself and have the party at the mall and the children's museum. He loved it. He is wild as ever and has some new favorite things:
Tv show- Food channel- Chopped and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, also loves HGTV for House Hunters and Holmes on Homes. He's hilarious asking to watch these shows!
Favorite thing to do- race his cars
Favorite food- apples and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Wants to be a "fixer guy" when he's grown up (construction worker)
He still looooves music, bands, playing guitars and drums.
He's grown and inch and a half since July and is in a size 13 shoe and 5T if not 4/5 or 5/6 for clothes. He's going to outgrow me faster than I was prepared for!
He's a sassy one and loves to prove you wrong. Sounds like someone I might know... ;)

Christmas!

Ok, I totally lied...

last one I promise!
