Cue the Hallelujah Chorus...

No, we haven't sold our house yet {darn it!  Come on guys!  We'll give $100 cash to whoever brings us our buyer...} :O) but in the meantime something pretty darn exciting has happened!  Marcus is officially sleeping through the night!!!  {Here it is, "Hallelujah!!"}  LOL  At TWO MONTHS OLD this darling boy is giving his mama the best gift he can - the hope of a full night's rest.  Unfortunately, his two older sisters have other plans...  In the 2 weeks that Marcus has been sleeping 8-11 hours at night, Madi and Maelee have been bombarding our bed during those same hours!  AAAAAAAGH!  TURKEYS!!  *Sigh*  At least Maelee is totally potty trained {for 2 months now!} so there isn't a soggy pull-up climbing in bed multiple times a night {always look for the positive, you'll live longer!}.  Ha ha!

Two months old.  My baby boy is two months old already!  I'm shocked, partly that it's already been 2 months and partly that it's ONLY been 2 months!  I honestly can't remember NOT having him in our family, NOT knowing him, NOT knowing what he looks like, NOT seeing his ever adorable smile every day... I just can't even fathom that there was life before this sweet miracle.  The girls have adjusted flawlessly to having him around - not ONE moment of jealousy or spite WOOHOO!!

Since it's kinda expected that I record his "stats" for you, I guess I'll throw them out really fast {aaaaand, I want to brag on my boy!!}:

11lbs 6oz
22 1/2 inches long
50% percentile across the board
Drinking 6oz
Smiles and coos when you babble at him
Giggles if you work REALLY hard for it
Loves to munch on his hands
Gets excited when Mom or Dad come in for a kiss {and usually licks Mom in response}
Loves to watch his sisters play
Has greyish, blueish, greenish eyes
Hasn't peed on Mom in about a month {Woohoo!}
Has outgrown about 1/2 of his 0-3 month clothes, but almost drowns in the rest LOL
Had his first haircut {Feb 21st} but still rocks a fauxhawk

Rebecca and her mom Lori came over for a day visit last Tuesday and I'm so glad they did.  The girls were crazy but we had a good day.  Becca actually held Marcus during his haircut {which he wasn't too fond of.  I think the noise of the clippers startled him}, and he totally crashed after - sprawled out over her lap.  Too cute!


Life is good. Busy, but good. We're still hoping to sell our house, so please keep us in mind and send peeps our way. Marcus is fussing so I better skeedaddle! :O) Oh, I love that little boy!!!!!

The close up where Marcus' head is faced away Rebecca looks BEAUTIFUL! You are such a good photog! And that little boy of your's is so cute. He looks so much older!

That picture where Becca is holding him and you're cutting and his eyes are open, (you know, that one!) He looks so old, I had to wait for it to go all the way through to see it again. He has got to be the CUTEST BABY BOY ever! Those pictures are just gorgeous.

$100, really? I may just try a little harder for that! :)
