Those Darn Teeth!

Dear Marcus,

Well, you usually get most of the attention (at least from others), but this week was your brother's birthday.  He lived it up.  You just enjoyed the show.  Seriously, you are a super laid back baby and you just enjoyed hanging out and watching him have fun.  In the past two weeks there have been two difficult days with you and today was one of them.  It's all about teeth.  On days you are not teething, you are so easy.  On days you are, well, you don't want to be put down and you fuss if you aren't with me.  You also spit up a lot more!!  But, I guess it's understandable to complain about teeth poking through your gums!!

You are such a big baby.  You're about average for weight but since Jordan was so little, I'm not used to lugging around a normal-sized almost-six-month-old.  You are rolling and wiggling a lot more.  We can't leave you on the couch anymore (you fell off) or in the swing (you were on your stomach hanging on for dear life).  So, we're entering a new world when we have to think about where you could end up if we put you somewhere.  You can roll around and are trying to get the idea of crawling.  You're not always motivated though!  Most of the time you're pretty cool just to hang out if you have a toy.

You have the sweetest smile and you love Jordan. You laugh at everything he does...even I it's detrimental to my discipline.  Last night I was bathing you guys and he refused to get out so he got a spanking.  He cried and you laughed and laughed, which made him do something else naughty to get in trouble...and you just laughed and laughed.  It's so cute though!  It's like a little giggle instead of a belly laugh.  You give Jordan the best of your laughs.  I have to really tickle you to get you going.

Little man, you are precious to our family and love having your sweet spirit around!

Love you,

Mom
