Update on the Boy

I am still going to catch up on past posts, but before I forget I've got to put down some of the new "Marshall facts" before I forget them. Tonight we passed Molly's room and he pointed in and yelled, "Sissy, Ni-Ni!"(night, night) It's the first time that I can think of that he's said two words together!!!

Things he can do:
Run, fast
Jump a few inches off the ground
*Thinks* he can do cartwheels because he watches Molly do them all the time
Climb on EVERYTHING
Climb up and down the stairs, on and off our bed and onto the kitchen table
Swing on the "big swing" again, something he learned from watching his sister

Things he can say:
Mommy
Daddy
Sister & Sissy
Muphy (Murmee)
Outside (Owww-Sigh!)
Choo choo
Thomas (Mommas)
Bird
Duck
Star
Finished (ninnish)
Water
Bus
Bar (one of his favorite foods is a cereal bar)
Cracker (Cacka)
Cheese
Ham (Hammy)
Night Night
Light
Bubble
Car
Truck
Bye-Bye
Ball
Swing
Slide
Flower
Hat
Baby

Things he can point out in books:
Trains
Busses
Kites
Cats
Dogs
Flowers
Stars
Hammers (thanks to Handy Manny)
Birds
Ducks
Hats
Trees
Baby
Cars
Airplanes

Things he loves:
Being Outside
Thomas the Train
Handy Manny
His Sister
His Lovies (wubbies)
Watching Molly get on and off the school bus
Playing in water, whether his bath, puddles, the sink or toilet... you name it, he's splashing in it.

Things he REFUSES to do:
Try new foods
Swallow his drool
Get a haircut without freaking out

He went through a phase of hugging things tightly and saying "Mine!" (again thanks to Molly) but luckily hasn't said it in a while. He also hasn't gotten into the "no" phase yet. He shakes his head a lot, but thankfully he hasn't started verbalizing his contrariness.

I'm Back, Baby!!!

My computer has been on the fritz since late December, so I am waaaay behind on posts. I'll try to throw them up here in order and with brief narrations so we can get caught up on current-day life in the Quin household.
