Sorry it's been so long

You would think with having Tim and Lisa and Mom and Dad here for the holidays that i would have had lots of time to post, but alas I didn't. So here are some catch-up photos.

Here is Mark opening a present- and we was doing such a good job we all laughed.....
...which scared him, so he cryed
of course the wrapping paper was the biggest hit
And the pots and pans in the kitchen. Oh, he is sitting up all the time by himself now, but on occasion he get excited and falls over backward, so we put the pillow behind him.

Mark makes new friends

Mark had a big weekend. He made a new friend- Lisa took us on a playdate. He became sufficiant at sitting up by himself. He falls over backward sometimes, but is stable to the font and sides. He learned to push up with his hands while on him tummy, he looked at his new friend for minutes like this. and he grew hair. thats right we woke up yesterday to see that he had almost doubled his amount of hair.

Snow!

It snowed, it was cold, i don't like being cold, it is snowing again.

Mark Laughs and we put him in the laundry

I was doing the laundry and thought that Mark would be so cute in the basket- and he was :)






Last night Mark laughed for the second time. The first time was last week, but I was alone and it didn't laugh long enough to get it on camera. But, last night Tim was home and we got some giggles on camera. Please forgive my funny laugh- it was making him laugh. It's a movie - just hit the play button.

Children's Museum

Mark and I went to the children's museum on Tuesday. They have a large area for children under four that includes a big soft area for infants. we had a great time, lisa joined us after work, and Mark made a friend.



Once Mark decided to acknowledge his new friend I had to keep him from grabbing her face.
This is his "I'm going to get you" look. Arms out, leaning forward.

it worked!

Cute faces on Mark today

Lisa the culinary artist

Lisa made some very yummy food for the Smith club meeting. Luckily she made enough to leave Tim and I a few.
