Dear Marcus,
I am watching you sit and play with toys right now and cannot believe how big you have gotten! You can sit on your own and are starting to roll and pull yourself towards toys that you want. You don't know what to do when I put you on your hands and knees, but I'm sure you'll figure it out! You love to stand with someone holding you up and it's hilarious because every time I try to set you on your bottom, you straighten your legs because you want to stand and you refuse to sit. I have to force you to fold so you can sit down.
This past week was hard but so much fun. We drove down to Texas for Aunt Katie's wedding. You and Jordan and I stayed in her one-bedroom apartment and it rained all week. It was a crazy time, but you were such a joy. And Grammy and Pappa got to come see us too so they loved getting to know you. They will be back in four months for a six month furlough and we will get to see a lot of them.
You have also learned the joy of spitting, so that's all you do is jabber and spit. It's cute, but we've decided that Jordan is our mover and you are our talker. You talk all day. Sometimes it sounds like you are upset, but you are just expressing yourself! Six months is my favorite age and you are living up to it. You are so cute and bring us such joy!!
You love your Dad and your Pappa...but like Jordan, you pretty much prefer to be around guys. Something about their voices or their beards or something! You love Uncle Adam and when he holds you, you just grin at him. You get so excited when anyone is holding you, but you really loved to hang out with him!
Now that the wedding over, we are enjoying a low-key week back in our routine of going to the gym and grocery shopping. We haven't been to church in a couple of weeks, so I'm sure everyone will think you look as big as I do.
I love you buddy!!
