Week 9: ICE Christmas at the Gaylord

December 23, 2007

Well Marshall had a very interesting week. Sadly, he started it off a little sore from his shots, but it quickly became better and better. Developmentally, Marshall really enjoys (meaning lots of smiles and talking) when mommy says "OOOOHIIEE," "I love you" and sings "Shimaderink and Dink a Dink." He is becoming very good at holding his head up and when he is on his stomach, he tries hard to move his legs. Sadly he cannot move anywhere!! It's tough being a baby! He also really loves spending time with Daddy. Daddy is fun to snuggle and play with.
On Saturday, we went to MeMe's and GrandPa-ha's to have a Christmas dinner. Marshall had a fun time watching his cousin Cody play with his new Pirate Ship. It was funny because Cody kept saying "AHOY Mateys!" But it came out as "AHOY Maybes." Katherine was very interested in Marshall and asked a lot of questions on how to take care of him (especially since she will have a baby sister sometime next week!). She entertained him with her Moroccans. Marshall also loves his first ever Christmas present from his Aunt, Uncle and cousins. He is enamored by the Orange Star on his new toy.
Today we went with Aunt Emily to the Gaylor Texan to see the ICE sculptures and Christmas Decorations. We had a lot of fun. Marshall was very well bundled so he didn't really get to enjoy the ICE sculptures as much as the rest of us, but maybe in the future years he will enjoy the ICE Sculpture slide as well as the toy trains throughout the hotel!

We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
