Scentsy Giveaway!

I have SO many updates over the past two weeks but they'll have to wait until tomorrow because Julie over at Julie the Army Wife is having another awesome Scentsy giveaway.

She is giving away one Cherry Blossom Warmer and one bar of the newest Scentsy Scent Flutter. So head on over to her site and check it out! I won her last giveaway but have been lazy in buying a warmer to use my Shades of Green bar so it sits in my candle basket just waiting to be used. But I can tell you the air freshener has been amazing in the area where the kitty litter boxes are.

And I promise I'll be back to regular posting this week. I really have to take advantage of that post scheduler thingy so I don't look like I'm neglecting my poor blog!

A Week Full of Firsts

This past week was crazy busy, hence my absence from the online world. I didn't even have a chance to check my email. Of course, when I logged in yesterday I had over 400 emails. I really wish I would have had time to blog this past week since so much happened.

I'm still trying to find a few minutes to get my photos off my camera so I can properly write up my summary of the week of 4/2 - 4/9. I'll try to get everything together for tomorrow :)

Until then I hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather!

Outtakes

Now that Marshall has figured out how to move his body, it is getting increasingly harder to get a decent posed picture of him. We had quite a few outtakes for his 5 month photo before I gave up and just used the first lucky shot that I got.

The creepy bodyless hands and arms belong to Freddy :)





And the final product...

5 Months

What a week! My laptop battery actually died completely because I hadn't plugged it in or turned it on since Monday. I'm definitely looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow... until 7!

On to bigger news... Marshall turned 5 months old on Wednesday, 3/30. I can't believe that in another month he'll be half a year old!





So what has Marshall been up to this past month?

Well, he is pretty solid now with his head and shoulder control. He is still not a huge fan of tummy time, but he will now lay there for a few minutes before he starts to throw a fit.





But he still can't figure out how to roll from his back to his stomach. He is so close!





Marshall has turned into a DROOL MACHINE! He almost always has a steady stream of drool hanging out of his mouth. I think the only time he isn't drooling is when he's asleep.





Baby's 1st St. Patrick's Day! Everyone at day care loved his St. Patty's Day outfit.





We've discovered that our feet are awesome.





Most nights Marshall sleeps for a solid 8 - 9 hours, but there are still nights when he wakes up around 2 in the morning. Sometimes we can just put the pacifier back in his mouth and he'll go right back to sleep. Other times it takes an hour or 2 to get him back to sleep.





He is pretty much in 3 - 6 month clothes now. I've just started packing away his 3 month clothes. We're trying to get him to sit up on his own, but he usually face plants on the couch if we don't catch him. His is also a huge flirt and smiles at everyone. The girls at day care admitted they spoil him and hold him a lot because he's so good and adoreable.

Marshall is taking 2 - 3 naps per day and is eating 6oz of formula about 4 - 5 times per day. We're planning to try a little rice cereal this weekend so we'll see how that goes.

Happy 5 months, Marshall!
