Mr. Personality

Marshall's talking has really taken off. He is putting more and more words together these days. Yesterday, while discussing his grandma's recent visit, he said, "Bamma car vroom, vroom." After bath the other night, I said, "You're naked," and he yelled back, "I naked." For some reason, many of his words start with the letter P. The computer is, "peepeeter" and the phrase "clean up," is, "peam up." Marshall loves to sing, some favorite lines being, "twinkle, twinkle, little star," "rain, rain go away," and, "Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey, goodbye." He is also counting up a storm. He can do 1-10 correctly most of the time and is hit or miss between 10 and 20 (for some reason, the numbers 12 and 18 are popular to call out). Marshall has always been a lightweight and his pediatrician recently recommended we feed him more ice cream (pronounced "eye-tee"). This has obviously been a big hit (5 bowls today so far). He wakes up yelling, "moooooore eye-tee pease."

The geese in Alameda were not happy to see us but Marshall and his grandma had fun.
Sleepy boys!
Yes, that whole spoonful of vanilla went in his mouth.
The big boy leaving "school" with his drawing and lunch bag.
Daily cat torture. Poor Amica.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween with our little dragon. We walked around downtown with some friends and then our group all enjoyed a chili feast together. Marshall did not collect any candy but enjoyed running around in his costume (thanks, Darcy & Evan) with his cute pumpkin bowl (thanks, Bamma).
