I don't know if this is common amongst other momma bears but even though I LOVE watching him grow and learn new things my heart aches a little every time he becomes a "big boy". In my case, my boy is becoming really BIG everyday, like seriously huge where I can't barely hold him :|
His personality is definitely shining through.
He has a sweet gentle spirit. Loves kisses, hugs and squeezes. Once you start he just begs for more. That being said his nickname in our home is little "Spartacus." He is a tough little macho man. I tease Matt all the time that when Marcus becomes of age and they play wrestle, Marcus will take him down. Matt sheepishly agrees. He is our little "Marcus the Great"-good old Greek mythology. He is husky and very strong. Did I mention that his head is almost as big as mine ;)
Marcus will already turn pages of his favorite books on demand but if he shows disinterest in certain books he will have no part of it.
We have been teaching him certain words of which we know he recognizes and response to(or at least we'd like to think so;) every parent thinks their babe is the smartest right? ha I'm sure he is just being a baby and grabbing at everything or babbling and we are like " oh did you hear that, he said dada" haha.
where's my nose- then he grabs it
where's my kiss- then he attempts to kiss
and of course he knows dada-
Marcus is a daddy's boy for sure. He is connected to Matt and just lights up every time he comes home from work. We are working on him waving hello to Matt- He does it occasionally. I think they have a special connection because well..... they are IDENTICAL in every way. He loves when daddy changes his bum, gives him bath time and reads to him.
He loves naps, playing on the floor with his new red fire truck, standing up against the couch to look out the window at the birds and trees, stomping his feet when we stand him up, smiles, duck noises, mommy dancing in the kitchen while he tries to dance along,
He hates food- everything except my breast milk, will yell really loud if I am talking to someone or he is tired and wants to go to bed- which makes it difficult when we are out at fam or at friends houses.
He doesn't make strange with people. He will smile and will encourage being held by anyone. Little offended that he doesn't scream his head off when he departs my arms.
As of late, Matt made Marcus a book shelf out of gutters, yes gutters! Of course I got the idea from pinterest. It turned out great. I picked some wood letters from the Dollar store and painted them.We got the gutters for 9 bucks each- got two and cut them in half-25 bucks later and voila here is our end result.
Marcus turning the pages of his book-
Marcus give hugs and kisses to Mr. bear- please excuse my annoying voice- you quickly learn that you need to talk like this to get the babes attention- high pitch, repeating constantly...
Matt and I made bird seed feeders...again idea from pinterest while Marcus watched and just wanted to ea the peanut butter. Matt and I are like kids- rather do some random craft or project on an early Saturday morning. Will we ever grow up? ok truth be told, on many occasion I beg matt to do these random things with me:)
There ya have it- an update on my little man.
Being a first time mom comes with a lot of different emotions, but I will continue to do my best. Its hard not to with a little stinker like this one.
Cheers
