The Marsh's New Ride

We can't wait for Spring so we can try this baby out!

Always Learning

So one thing that we've noticed about The Marsh as he gets closer to the 1 1/2 year mark is how curious and intuitive he is. He always wants to be doing things and will always try something at least once. But, you better watch out because once he gets his sights set on something he will not give up until it is his.

These pictures were taken during one of the many doctor's visits over the past few months. He is so used to the waiting room now that he has to run over and play with the Activity Cube and watch out to any kid who might already be playing with it. We have to work on Marshall's "playing with others" skills :)

Wordless Wednesday: Go Marshall Go!

Not long after he started walking back in early November. Once he started it was all over...

A Trip to the Museum

This week I'm away in Sunny Orlando at a conference... without my baby :( Not only is this the first time that I'm away overnight since Marshall was born but I'm away the entire week! Talk about jumping in all the way!

Since there are only 8 days left in February, I thought I would use the rest of the month to post some pictures of The Marsh from the October - January timeframe.

We start back in November with Marshall's first trip to a museum. My mom, brother, and sister were in town for his 1st birthday party and we took a trip into the city to visit the Natural History Museum. During this trip, Marshall said "What's that?" for the first time while pointing at one of the glass cases.





The only way to travel...





Photo-op with the Triceratops.





Look at all the people down there!





What's that?





What's that? Yes... once he started saying it he didn't stop :)





Planets are cool!





Enough learning for The Marsh! It's time for a nap!

The Decisions City Leaders Make Really Don't Make Sense

*Sigh* I already feel my IQ dropping...

Jersey Shore Spinoff

I'm not sure what kind of exposure the mayor is expecting for Jersey City, but we're frequently in the area with Marshall where they will be filming. The area has a lot of families and children and is on the border of the higher income section of Jersey City. I don't think watching Snookie and JWow act like idiots is what young children need to see. I'm sure the residents of the Newport area are having a fit about this.

I'm just happy we don't actually live in that area...
