7 months!

Holy cow! I cant believe Marcus is officially 7 months old! This last month has been huge for him, he officially has two teeth, is now eating 3 meals a day, he sleeps less during the day (good for baby sometimes inconvenient for mom!), he is trying so hard to crawl yet he has only mastered going in reverse, he has outgrown his infant bath tub and he wears a size 6-9 months. Today to celebrate his 7 month mark the three of us went out and did some shopping, and had a delicious lunch.

Here's our cute little man rocking a pirate hat we found in HOME GOODS (one of my favorite stores!):

Also, a year ago today we found out:

That our little baby on board was a BOY!

We are absolutely crazy about you Marcus, you are perfect in each and every way. Love you handsome, happy 7 months!

Love,

Chris and Kaite

St. Patrick's Day 2012

First off let me start by saying Happy St. Patrick’s day all!

I had big plans for today but the weather had an alternative agenda for us. I was so excited last week when I heard an advertisement on the radio for a parade and festival in Old Sacramento for St. Patrick’s day, complete with bag pipers, food, entertainment and of course a parade. We woke up this morning to some sunshine and clear skies but that was short lived, it is now gloomy, windy, cold and wet! Not a fun combination when mixed with a 6.5 month old! Unfortunately as much as I was looking forward to a family day in Old Sac and little mans first official festival/parade that didn’t happen.
Instead we stayed in and I spent the majority of the day cooking and cleaning.

We had a scrumptious breakfast…

Complete with green eggs of course!

For dinner I made a corned beef brisket, fried cabbage (to die for!), potatoes and carrots! I had green flavored water and Chris enjoyed a frosty green beer!

Marcus was dressed for the occasion:

To keep with our green theme little man chowed down on some green beans and oatmeal for dinner!

And for dessert:

Green shamrock cookies.

I can't wait for next year when Marcus has a little better idea of whats going on, I plan to make St. Patrick's day 2013 a special one!

Love,

Chris and Katie

Playdate

On Saturday Marcus and I went to Vacaville for a August Moms meet up. Unfortunately only 3 of us were able to make it this time around but we had a wonderful time! Marcus' girlfriend/future wife, Olivia came and then we met Andrew (Drew) whom I've been SO excited to meet since he shares the same birthday as my little guy! Moms and babies met at a super cute cupcake lounge, strolled around downtown Vacaville and ended at an awesome park! It was such a beautiful day, Marcus loved laying in the sun and swinging!

Love,

6 months!

Happy 6 months baby boy,

Mommy and Daddy LOVE you!

Big boy!

Sorry its been a while! Its been madness around here the last two weeks. We were all sick last week and on top of Marcus having a cold he was teething, hardcore! At last, his first tooth officially broke through, its his bottom left! My baby boy is growing up so fast, I’m not ready for this! On the 24th he turned 6 months, half a year! How is that even possible?!?!

Turning 6 months meant it was time for the “big boy” car seat!

Here was Marcus in his infant seat at 3 days old:

Here he is in his infant seat at 5 months old:

and here he is now at 6 months in his "big boy" seat:

I adore this little guy!

Love,

Chris and Katie
