Week 5: Marshall's Busiest Week Ever!

November 27, 2007

Were do we start with this exciting week?! Well, this week started out very nice since a 5 hour sleep pattern has started to emerge early in the week. But it was a little harrowing at first since prior to that sleep a new trend has occurred - he would have crying spells in the evening. What we noticed is that his red faced scream was his "last hurrah" before he dropped off into instant sleep (Marshall's Aunt Heather made him a friend to comfort him during these moments).

Wednesday, Mommy and Baby made their first outing together to visit a photographer that Mrs. Strange recommended to us (http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/store.aspx?p=40447). She does Anne Geddes type of work. Generally, the little Man is easy to put to sleep (which is how the photographer shoots her baby photos) but after 3 hours he would only sleep for about 20 minutes. He wasn't the greatest subject so we didn't get very many "artistic" poses. The photographer said it is tough being a Model. I'd have to agree -especially when you are a naked baby and a cold front is coming in.

Aunt Emily came up from Austin to stay with us for the holiday. Marshall loves his Aunt Emily - she knows exactly what to do to make him happy.

We all went and visited MeMe and Grandpa-ha for Thanksgiving. Marshall really enjoyed his time with his cousins and his Aunt Heather (she also knows how to make him a happy baby). On Friday, Olga, Uncle Nikki and The Grand-PAPA came over for a nice meal and The Grand-PAPA played patty-cake with the baby.








On Saturday, Marshall was baptised at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. There were 11 other children baptised at the same time as Marshall. We were so proud that he was so quiet throughout the entire ceremony and even stayed asleep when the Deacon poured Holy Water over his head. Marshall was so lucky to have so many members of his family attend such an important event.Other memorable camera shots:
