Jade 8 months/Marcus 3 years 4 months

Jade is an absolute doll.  She is sitting up on her own and is already really good at self-playing.  Her favorite toy is Buzz Lightyear.  She LOVES music.  She is flaps her arms when she’s happy and is starting to clap.  She also is starting to say Dadadada.  We aren’t completely sure if she is directing that at Daddy or if it’s just her experimenting with her voice some more.

Marcus is a great big brother.  He is an endless ball of energy, mixed with a tenderness and intelligence that is too cute.  He has given up his naps (at least for the most part) which makes my job even more interesting. :) He is starting preschool at a Montessori school on May 4th that is just down the street from our house.  We are super excited about it and 3 of his friends already attend that school.  He says new phrases every day and is learning to spell.  His favorite phrase this week is “Oh, I got it!”  And the other day he randomly said “T-O-Y Toy Mommy”  while we were playing in the bathtub,  I was floored!!!

Here are some recent pictures of them… 

       

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse aka Disneyland

Marcus finally got his Disneyland trip (or as he likes to call it, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) that he’s been waiting for since November.  He gave up his binky then and asked the binky fairy for tickets to Disneyland.  We had a blast!!!

We went with our friend, Ana and her two kids, Beckham and Riley.  They got along great and really enjoyed each other’s company.

Marcus met Mickey and Jasmine too…such a treat…(see below)

We went on several rides never been on before. Marcus’ favorite ride of the day was the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Curtis and I thoroughly enjoyed that one too…we all wanted to ride it again. We can’t wait to go back in the Fall.
