Marcus had a birthday!!!

Our little boy is 3!!! I can't believe how fast it has gone, he is growing up so fast. We had lots of fun celebrating his birthday with family and friends especially since his birthday landed on Thanksgiving this year. Marcus enjoyed having everyone here as he played, ate and played some more.

Here are his stats:
weight: 33 lbs = 65%

height: 38 in = 65%

Some random tidbits about Marcus:

1. Nicknames: bud, buddy and brat
2. He is always on the go and never stops

3. He loves my hair...most days I enjoy it...others it depends on how much he knots it
4. He loves Lightening McQueen and Thomas the Train
5. Loves taking a shower, would take a dozen a day if you let him

6. Loves sleeping with his older sister
7. Loves his family

I remember the day my water broke, it was 4am on a Sunday morning and Matt was at work, at the time Matt was working nights. We didn't want to wait an hour for him to get home and then to turn around for another 45 min to get to the hospital so Matt called Jim across the street and he drove me there and we met Matt. Matt was pretty nervous and I think Jim could tell, bless his heart he stayed a while for support for Matt. Well after laboring all day with not much success they decided I needed an emergency c-section, so off we went. After it was all done we learned why we didn't have much success laboring, Marcus had his cord wrapped around his neck. Such a blessing that they didn't want to wait any longer and proceeded with the c-section. Marcus was a healthy 7 lbs 13 oz and was born at 9:12pm. We love him so much and we are so glad he is a part of our family. Happy Birthday Marcus, we love you!!!
