Mommy life

It's been a while since we have had Marshall, two months have flown by fast and I haven't had the chance to say how it has been. The last two months have been such a blessing with our little boy. It's hard to believe that he is already cooing, smiling and playing! Life has definitely been an adventure and there is a lot to learn but we have been getting along marvelously. Marshall is very interactive and is starting to hold his head up, he loves bathtime and reading stories but his favorite time of the day is just sitting and talking with Mommy and Daddy. The conversations we have with him are amazing (we call them conversations because he has a whole range of vocal emotions and responds to everything we say!). He dislikes diaper changes and tummy time but I think the funniest angry moments are when he is made to burp. He has developed quite the little attitude and when i know he has to burp I lift him up to do it. When he feels it is unnecessary or just plain wants to be difficult he will straighten his body stiff as a board and make it virtually impossible to fold him in half. He will scream until he turns blue and then take another gasp of air to let those little lungs go! It is amazing how the personality is evident so early in life, I think we will have our hands full with this little man! Life has been great and we look forward to the future and new adventures as a family.

She's finally here! Mattea Leigh was born ten days late, weighing in at 8 lbs 15 oz and was 21.25 in long! Mark and Lauryn brought her home from the hospital yesterday and are praising God for her safe arrival. Enjoy some pictures Lauryn sent via email.



Aw, what a sweet picture. Gotta love the Daddy's and their baby girls!

Looking quite a bit like her Daddy, I'm thinking...
