A Growing and WALKING Boy!

That's right folks, Marshall is WALKING! He still crawls, obviously that is still the fastest thing for him, but he is getting better and better on his feet, check it out!



Well, that's the biggest Marshall news we have to share, but here are some more pictures and videos taken throughout the week...

Marshall on his airplane, doesn't he look so grown up?!


Very clever, Marshall has started carrying his sippy cup, toys, and stuffed animals around the house like this sometimes. You gotta hand it to him; that's some good thinking!

Marshall's hair is getting long again-I love it! But, long hair usually means some crazy hair in the morning!























On Tuesday for playgroup we went to this great splash pad. Once again it was free, which made it even better! Anyway, it didn't really have any standing water, the ground was soft and squishy (perfect for little ones) and it just had all sorts of water arrangements.

Water sprayed up from the ground in all sorts of different patterns, it dropped from buckets, it sprayed out from umbrellas-it was great!















Marshall started out a little unsure at first...




















The water was a little cold, and the ground was new to him...




















But, eventually he got closer...















And closer...




















And then he LOVED it!


He ended up having a great time and was not hesitant about the water at all, as you can tell, he is soaking! It was a fun place, and one that we are sure to visit again!

Here are a couple of other videos of this cute little guy, can you tell our world revolves around him?!

I love how he walks with his bum sticking out! Every new stage is so fun!

CONGRATS MARSHALL COUG! I showed John the video-- Marshall looks a little bit like a drunken sailor! We kept postponing the childproofing thing with Benson, but decided once he was walking that it was finally time. It's fun to see how much progress there is with walking from day to day. )8 steps one day, then 12 the next, etc.)

We both have walking babies. I have to tell you though, it has brought out Miss Attitude with Mae. If I ever stop her walking she throws the biggest fits. He is so cute. I love the water park.
