The Big Boy

At 13 months, Marcus can do a lot of things now. Some of these are:

1. Walk and run and make mom and dad chase him
   
2. Climb up the stairs on his own (Well, he's been doing this since he was 9 months but we just won't let him. We still don't but at least now we're more confident he actually can.)
3. Cry like crazy when he doesn't get what he wants (Yes, he is officially a spoiled brat and we need to start doing something about this soon!)
   
4. Get his diaper when we say "Do you have poo-poo?"
5. Grab mommy's hand when he wants to go somewhere
   
6. Point to where we prepare his milk when asked "Do you want milk?"
7. Hop inside the car every chance he gets
8. Nod his head and proceed to the foot of the stairs when we say, "It's time to sleep. Let's go to bed."
9. Hug Barney real tight while swaying left and right (which means "love")
   
10. Etc. (a.k.a. Drive mom and dad nuts)

Sometimes, when I look at him, I am still amazed at how he's grown and how blessed I am to have him. He's really my stress reliever, my source of joy.

Marcus and I do not have a lot of pictures together because I am always the one taking photos (thanks to his yaya for this pic), so I'm just happy to have a recent one to post. Notice that he has a swollen lip (fell flat on his face yesterday) but to me he's still the cutest. :) I love you, baby!
