Marcus is no longer the baby of the family. I mean the extended family. He's got younger cousins on each side. My sister had her little girl on June 24th and Will's sister had her baby boy on July 6th. They are very cute, both of them. We love them so. And, since I finally found the camera again after the trip, I am fully planning on taking pictures of said new cousins.
The exciting part of our story is that Marcus is now 6 months old. I am pretty sure that every new mother says this, but I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It seems like he's always been around. And, somehow, I can't remember being pregnant. This has been true for the past 2 months or so. Seven months of being sick? Completely gone from my memory. That's kinda scary.
But, the kid just keeps getting cuter and cuter. I mean, who can say no to this face?
The best part? He's getting huge! His stats for his 6 month check up are:
Weight: 16 lbs 10 oz (25-50%)
Height: 27 inches (75%)
Head: 45 cm (75-90%)
He's got this new thing though, where he sucks in his bottom lip, and somehow the upper lip stays curvy. This is the best attempt I have to capture said curvy lip. (Don't you hate it when it won't turn? I kept trying and trying to get it to go and no banana.)
We discovered that he LOVES the song Popcorn Popping, and I'm going to get a video of the kid laughing to it. Simply adorable. Instead, I offer this. A video of him being fussy. And yes, this is about as fussy as he gets. He got frustrated and wanted off of the tummy time.
I think this might be my favorite picture yet. Seriously.

My favorite picture is the one of you two laughing at each other. So cute.
Are you Gavin's teacher? I try to get him to tell me who it is, and he says "Sister V"(?????) And I shutter to think of what he was doing to make you laugh . . .
Hi Alisha,
I am so glad you found my blog. And your baby is ADORABLE. What a cutie!
I Look forward to getting to know him better through blogland!

Marcus is so cute! I saw the comment you left on my blog and at first I was like, "who the heck?" I figured it out after I checked your profile. I love the video too!
May favorite photo of this bunch it the top one. That is one gorgeous little boy. Boy do I like you. Thanks for the update.
Oh, NO! Now you're in for it! Once you forget how bad the pregnancy and delivery was it's scary how fast you'll want another one! ( : I think the Lord helps us forget so we will have more!
I remember thinking along those lines too (about forgetting sickness, etc.). Believe me, I have yet to forget this time. I think we're safe for a while with just three!
My nephew is so cute!
Oh good garbage! He cannot be six months old. Insane. And speaking of insane, he is insanely cute. As are you.
I love the pic of the two of you laughing together. So precious! It sounds like you're almost ready for #2. I agree, it's crazy how quickly we forget about being preggers, labor & newborn land. Keep us posted... Ha! :)
