Week 21: Spring Time

I just can't believe that Spring time has already arrived. Where did the Fall and Winter go? I guess everything starts to blend together when you're sleep deprived (not to mention how unattractive the Mommy is in the Morning!).

The whole "family" was just so anxious to get outside and start planting. I was excited to get to go to the Farmer's Market at lunch and pick up some begonias from the Aggie-Plant Man as I call him. The flowers are such wonderful quality and the blooms were really huge. Although having the plants in my car, I did have a few "Spider" incidents while I was driving. Yep - I'm really afraid of them and had two of them drop on my hand while I was driving, two days in a row. I was so phobic of my car after the second day that I was ready to sell it. But reason set in, and I just rolled down my windows to let the rest of the critters out.

Marshall was put into his carrier and was so happy to be outside helping Mommy and Daddy plant flowers. He's got a green thumb like his Daddy. If he's crying all you have to do is take him outside and he'll stop. After Bundling him up....We set to work! As you can see he was helping Daddy carry the flowers (and then try to pick them!).Marshall also LOVES his Pooh books before bedtime. The first one I read to him he tried taking Tigger off the page with his fingers. (Of course, he is attracted to anything that is the color Orange, which is his favorite color). After seeing how interested he was, I pulled down the bag of Beanie Babies from the back of some long forgotten closet and found him his very own Tigger. I have NEVER seen him get so excited to see something (except for the first time we brought his piano home).


Last week, Marshall had his first Roll Over from back to front. By the end of this week he was getting to be VERY proficient at Rolling to his front, but he HATES being on his tummy so he would start out fussing then just crying until his face was bright red. Chris and I decided to one day, just let him cry it out a little, and when he realized we weren't going to flip him he just laid there VERY STILL. It was actually pretty funny.
Then he realized how silly he was before and how much he ACTUALLY LIKED BEING ON HIS TUMMY! Wow it is amazing that at the beginning of last week he was perfectly flat on his back and NOW HE'S ROLLING OVER!!!!!!!! It is so amazing at how fast he is developing.
