Marshall's 1st time slidding down a hill!

Christmas 2010

We got a new digital video camera for a "family gift" this year! I love it! I know there will be more videos on here now then there are post!

Tonight when we were ready to pray for supper, Marshall made Troy & I laugh! We were just about to start when Marshall grabbed his cup as fast as he could to set it up right, folded his hands, and looked at us to see if he got caught. It was much funnier than right it down will justify!

After supper he was in the tub full of bubbles and he was practicing his Santa beard. He would put his face in the water and come up with a face full of bubbles! It was so funny! This kept him entertained for a long time!!

Marsall was Batman for Halloween!!

His 'NEW' word of the day was "canie!" This morning he saw his trick-or-treat bucket on the table & wanted "canie" for breakfast. I don't think so!

Marshall's big brothers!!

Teach me Daddy!

Marshall found the bubbles in

Marshall found the bubbles in the tub tonight! He would look for the BIG ones & pop them with a BIG...slap!

4th of July

I love fireworks! Every year that is the one thing about summer I LOVE!

This year we were at Big Sugar Bush for the 4th of July! It was a GREAT weekend! On Thursday, Marshall spent the "entire" day with Auntie Nancy while the rest of us went to MPLS for a Twins game, Chad proposed to Larua at the game, and we got back to the lake around 5am! Marshall's 1st night away from Mom! It was hard but I think it would have been harder if I knew that I wounldn't have seen him sleeping in the pack & play next to me early that morning! on Friday, Troy & I went fishing most of the late afternoon and I was in bed early with Marshall! It must have been the fresh air! Saturday I met Jenny & Mom and we went garage saling in DL; go a few buys! Sunday!!! I couldn't wait for Marshall to see the fireworks!! I wasn't sure if he would be able to see the or not...his attention span is large for a 14 month old... He saw them! His reaction was priceless! A huge "Ohh..." and a lot of clapping! Half way throught the fireworks he told everyone na-night so he went to be early on his 1st memorable fireworks!

We took this pictures on Thursday morning before we left for the game!

It is just crazy to think of how much Marshall has changed in the past two weeks! He went from 100% crawling to walking most of the time! He is getting more and more stable on his feet all the time!

Marshall LOVES his sleep! When he starts to get fussy at night I ask him if he wants to go na-night and he will start to wave to Troy and tell him "na-na!" I snuggle him in the binki and he doesn't even make a peep! As of May 29th he has not had a bottle! I forgot it at home when we went to Nancy's for the weekend and he did just fine going to sleep with out it! Woo-Hoo!

Marshall got into the baby powder on Mommy's watch!!!

Marshall is WALKING!

Marshall is WALKING!

Marshall had mac & cheese

Marshall had mac & cheese for the 1st time tonight! He didn't do to hot with a spoon so I have him a fork!

Apple & the 4-wheeler

On our way home from town tonight Marshall was talking and he kept saying "apt, apt." I asked him a couple of times to say apple! I coached him by enunciating it...! He did it! He said apple. I tried to get him to say it for Troy but he didn't want to!

Oh, did I mention that Marshall went on his 1st 4-wheeler ride! It was very cute! He saw Troy on it and was reaching out for him when he was driving so Daddy took him for his 1st Ride!!!

Today Marshall woke up with a high fever. He got to stay home with Daddy while Taylor & I went to work & school. Marshall slept most of the day and he was ready to play when we got home!

For supper I mashed up some steamed carrots & peas along with peach yogurt & cereal! He didn't like the carrots & peas right away but by the end of supper he was eating them with out having to mix them with cereal!

Troy went out to pick mushrooms with Joe and Taylor did his homework while Marshall & I did laundry! I love watching Marshall while he tries to put on socks! They don't have to be his and he tries to make them fit! He was just a wild man! He would take everything out the the laundry basket just to put them all back. Then he would grab his ball he got from Uncle Mike for his birthday and toss it at me and then back to the laundry! He did this for at least 30 minutes! Oh, and he got a CAT dump-truck from Nana & Popa Myhrer! It talks and best of all it jams out! When he hears the music he starts to bop up and down! It is very funny!!!
What can I say, my baby is growing up way to fast!

It is just amazing how much Marshall has grown up in the past few weeks! He now signs more and all done when he is eating. I have even heard him say "all done" when he doesn't want his diaper changed which is more often than you might imagine!

This weekend is a toofer weekend. Friday night Marshall was very winey and he just was not happy. His gums are very white and stretched out! You can see the teeth underneath that are ready to come out!

Click, click

Tonight when Marshall & I were cleaning up the livingroom, I was clicking my tounge and he did it back! We clicked at each other for a long time, then he said, "all done!"

Marshall's Birthday Cake

Happy 1st Birthday Marshall!

Toofers!

Marshall has been cutting teeth again for almost a week and a half! Tonight was exceptionally hard for him (and mom!). I couldn't put him down with out a cry of na-na-na (NO, NO)! After giving in to yet another bath for soothing, he came alive when he heard Nana Tveiten's voice calling his name! The rest of the night went great! He is tucked in bed sound asleep! Oh, did I mention that one toofer is poking out!!!

10 months old!

Today we celebrated Jenny-Bean's Birthday at Mom & Dads! We had a AWESOME steak & potato dinner! After we lounged for a bit I roped Mom into helping me with Marshall's 9(10) month pictures! Marshall was so wound up that he was all over the place! I think Mom was more worn out then Marshall or I!

Here is my little ROCKER! Renee R. gave Marshall his ACDC shirt! What a cutie!

Bingkie-Bear Buddy

Aunie Stac sent Marshall these jammie pants...they are 2T but they fit Marshall right now! If you can't tell, he is a bingkie-bear buddy!

Marshall on the crawl...

So now that Marshall has his footing, he is all over the place! He even gets himself in tight places!

Marshall met the TWINS: Tony Oliva!

So the "Twins Winter Caravan" went throught TRF on Wednesday morning! Marshall & I got up early to go and see them! Marshall got to meet TC & Tony Oliva! What a cool guy! Believe it or not but Tony will be 72 years old in July! He thanked us for coming and for bringing out the "next generation of ball players!" We also got a ball signed my Tony O and one signed by Nick Blackburn & Matt Guerrier! Twins radio announcers Kris Atteberry as there too! How cool!

If you didn't know it you might think we have an Olympic swimmer on our hands!

Ice Cream!

Ok, so if you know my Mom she likes to give babies treats! Well, tonight she gave Marshall his 1st Ice Cream! He REALLY liked it! Marshall liked it so much that when she put the spoon in the dish he grabbed it and put the spoon right into his mouth! It was funny! What can you say... like father... like son!

As you can see by his legs, Marshall has a future in football as a linebacker! Jason Myhrer took this picture Christmas day over at Nana & Papa Myhrer's house!

Little Steps...

Today Marshall and I were bored so we (I) decided we would practice walking! He did pretty good! By the end of the 20 minutes we worked on it, he took 3 steps with out encouragement! Look out world, Marshall is on his way!
