We find ourselves saying that a lot lately - What a Big Boy! I can't believe his birthday is just over 2 weeks away! It is strange; when I held him before Chloe was born I don't remember him being quite so big (Not too big since he is still only 18 lbs and wearing mostly 6/9 month outfits).
He is starting to get really comfortable on his feet. And will now take up to 5 steps before falling down/cruising into our arms.
He also really enjoys playing with his toys. Mommy and Daddy bought him an activity table for being such a good boy this week and it is his favorite! You can see how happy it makes him. I didn't get a photo of it yet, but he really loves playing with his cars. He will push them from room to room and will laugh when Mommy makes screeching car noises.
I can't remember if I mentioned it before but Marshall is so funny with his toys that play usic, his little head will move up and down to the beat. It is just adorable.
Separation Anxiety is still an issue at night so Chris and I find ourselves waking up 3-4 times a night some nights, and other nights it will be 1-2. (Last night it took me 3 hours to get him to sleep and no night wakings but the night before only took 5 minutes to get him down but had to get up 2 times - Point is, you just don't know what sort of surprises the evening will hold). At least he doesn't wake up until 8 a.m. so it is nice to catch some additional ZZZ's. What helped out a lot this week is we tried some "Lovies on him." Basically its a transitional object for him to cuddle with.
Marshall seems much more comfortable with his baby Sister. For the most part he seems to be okay with her. I think the only time she is an issue for him is when he is cranky/tired/hungry. But he would be upset even if she didn't exist for him. He will even kiss his sister and pat her on the head (and rock her in their swing).
