more pics from the weekend

3 years and counting-no seriously, he's counting...

Just got back from Christmas and birthday festivities. What fun we always have at grammy and papa's house :). Marcus is very lonely at home without his cousins! We missed Nia and the Howard's dearly at home, but we'll hopefully have a full holiday next year :)

Signs of Summer

Marcus had his 1st bloody knee today.  He calls it a "gape".  He can't really say the "s" at the beginning of the word, so it's hard to know what he's trying to tell you sometimes. 

He takes after his daddy because there was barely any blood but he was acting like his leg was broke!  I told him pappa's bull rider technique, but he was not having it.

Here are some more of my fav's from this last couple of weeks:

Gwill- Squirrel

Grill- Girl

Goot over- Scoot over

Nake- Snake

The other day I had just come upstairs and was off of work.  He asked "you offa work mommy?"  "yes Marcus, I'm done working"   I started to brush his hair after his bath and he said "Momma, you needa go backa work."  What a funny little man.

 

Almost 2 1/2!

Talking talking talking up a storm....here are some of my favs-

Marcus- Crying
Me- "Why are you crying??"
Marcus- "because! my face is wet!"
Me- "Honey, if you would stop crying your tears would stop and your face would dry up!"
Marcus- "Ok mommy."  stopping immediately

If M is talking to someone else and you try to talk to him he will tell you "uh, mommy, i talking to daddy...geeze!"
We have to work on this!!

Potty training is going ok...  we're about 1 full month in to it and he goes most of the time if he's naked.  He will barely tell you when he's got to go if he's got a diaper or pull up on.  Right now the naked method is the best, but that's not always an option for sure!! 

fluent in flu

Well, Marcus has been sick for 72 hours now and I am hoping we've turned a corner. I locked him out of the bathroom on purpose to see if he would cry tears and he did! Those tears came a streaming down, so that means he's on his way back from dehydration. It was touch and go there for a minute, so those tears were welcome tears. I took some pictures of him while he was looking at his "fishy's" so you all could see how skinny he's gotten. We had him at the Dr's on Saturday and he was just over 30 lbs. Today we weighed him and he was 25 lbs! Poor little munchkin. He's out of the chair and we don't have to have him wrapped in a towel 24/7 so I think it's almost over!!! Yay!!
