Chris has been very busy at work, but seems to be as happy and passionate about his job as ever. He went to Boston for a week for a work event and had a great time. In addition to the mandatory professional meetings, he went to a ballgame at Fenway, did a historical walking tour, and sampled beverages at many infamous bars.
Marshall is fantastic. He loves to sing, dance, read, and play with cars. At my dad’s recent Oktoberfest party, Marshall learned the Chicken Dance, which he’ll now do at random moments. Hmm, funny dancing…whose child is this? His favorite song these days is “Cuando” by Michael Buble and Nelly Furtado and he sings along, almost word for word. The highchair and bibs have disappeared and he has very firm opinions about a lot of things (what to eat, what to wear, etc.). When he is ready to get out of his crib he’ll yell, “Wake me up please.” Other fun comments:
- “No shoes on the couch. That what mom says.”
- As he patted his Aunt Stephanie’s chest, “Stephanie, your tummy full.”
- “Mom, this omelet phenomenal.”
- After I asked him for a kiss, “No mom. You have enough kisses.”
- “I got this shirt at REI. On sale. Like Momma.”
- “That football man knocked over the cone. He say, ‘sorry cone.’”
