1 month old!


Marcus turned 1 month on Tuesday. He has been a totally different baby than Elena was, and he makes sure of it! He eats really well.....guess that's why he weighs 10 lbs 5 oz. already. He gets up at least once a night around 2 or 3 ish, but stays awake for about an hour and a half to eat. What we've noticed in just this past day is that he's started to "coo" more. I almost forgot how sweet and precious those sounds are. Pretty soon we will be hearing more from him and starting to see those smiles.

We've all been kept on our toes of his needs. The girls, especially, are so attentive to him. Analissa loves holding Marcus and Elena can't give him enough kisses all the time. As soon as she knows he's distressed, she's the first to say something about it so we can go to him. The girls are such great big sisters to their baby brother. Marcus may not like it when he gets older, though, because he may have 3 moms!

We had a tiny visitor this past weekend with Lyla coming over for a little while. We got a very small dose of a house with 4 children which actually wasn't too bad! Granted, Marcus was asleep during this time, so of course it wasn't a bad experience. Lyla was such a good girl and so sweet. She just loved playing with all the toys and getting lots of attention from Analissa and Elena. To make her feel comfortable and know what it's like to be a member of this family, we put her to work after awhile and made her do some laundry! :)

Marcus sure is a little cutie! No wonder he's getting so much attention! Can't wait to meet him sometime.

Take good care...
