Marcus is twelve months old today!
1. Marcus is happy. He is so happy, and he smiles all the time.
2. Marcus loves to dance. If he hears just a tiny bit of music, he'll start "bustin' a move." He loves it when I put on some music and dance while I'm holding him, and he also just loves to dance on his own.
3. Marcus has the most handsome smile. When we were getting our utilities hooked up, the lady at City Hall said that Marcus' smile was "a perfect smile, almost like someone drew it on."
4. Marcus adores his older sister and brother. He loves it when Alyssa tickles him, and he loves to follow Ethan around, laughing.
5. Marcus loves to give kisses, and he is very exact about them. He only gives kisses on the lips. So no matter how much you try to give him your cheek, he'll track down your lips and give them a full-on, open mouth, slobbery kiss.
6. Marcus likes rice cereal, but other than that, he hasn't been very interested in baby food. He gets mad if he doesn't get the same food the older kids are getting.
7. Marcus is a wiggle worm. He doesn't hold still for anything. It is so hard to change his diaper and get him dressed.
8. Marcus gets so excited when I sweep the floor. He thinks I'm gathering all of the scattered food into a pile to make it more accessible for him to get to.
9. Marcus is down to waking up only twice during the night, usually around midnight and four o'clock.
10. Marcus is really good at nodding his head yes when he wants something and shaking his head no when he's doing something he's not supposed to do.
11. Marcus loves to be outside. He loves to toddle around the back yard, and he loves to sit in the stroller when we walk Alyssa to and from school.
12. Marcus has the fluffiest hair. Even when I brush it, it always fluffs back up after a little while.
Happy birthday, Marcus!
