Morning adventure to downtown Milwaukee and Betty Brinn Children's Museum...
A couple of weeks ago I had the whole day off so Marshall and I spent some quality time together-it was so much fun! We drove downtown and had a picnic outside across the street from Lake Michigan. It was a little bit chilly, but with all of Marshall's walking, he definitely stayed warm. The above picture is Marshall in front of the art museum. And here's the little guy enjoying the grass, and then not really enjoying the post I had him sitting on. :)

After our time outside we went in to the children's museum. They have a special area designated for children 0-3 years old. It was perfect for Marshall and he had a blast.
Sleeping on the floor...
Here's the story, don't worry, Marshall doesn't usually sleep on the floor. A couple of weeks ago Marshall fell asleep on our way home from the grocery store. He only takes one nap a day now and even if he takes a super short nap in the morning, chances are good that will be his nap for the day. So, he fell asleep around 11:00 and had only been asleep about ten minutes in the car. So, I got him out of the car, but by the time I got up to our apartment he was still asleep, which never happens! I thought that if I just laid him on the living room floor he would wake up in just a few minutes as I would be going in and out of the apartment and putting groceries away. So I did just that and he slept through the entire thing! After he slept on the floor for almost 30 minutes I decided I should probably move him to his crib, where he slept for another hour! But, before I moved him, I just spent a couple minutes snuggled up by him watching him sleep. Ah, nothing like a sleeping baby/toddler, so sweet. :)
Playing with the pillows...
A couple weeks ago while I was changing the sheets on our bed Marshall came in and started throwing himself into the pile of pillows on the floor. He was having a ball and I was pretty entertained watching him so I grabbed all of our pillows and we made a pillow mountain for him to play with. It was a very fun morning!
And a video...

New shoes...
Marshall got his first pair of new shoes this last week. At first, he didn't like them at all. Once we got him to stand up he just stood there and it took him a few minutes to start walking. He walked very stiffly at first, it was actually pretty funny to watch. But, within just a few minutes he was back to cruising all over the place, and doesn't he look so grown up?!
Having fun with books...
Being mischievous...
Taking bubble baths...
I gave Marshall his first bubble bath last night, I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of this sooner, but oh well, now he's experienced it! When I first put him in the bath he wouldn't sit down, he just played with the bubbles in my hands. After a couple minutes he lowered himself to a squat and probably stayed there for five minutes. I eventually got him to sit down and then he really started enjoying the bubbles. It was a fun night for both of us.
Sorry there's only one picture, he isn't looking at the camera in any of the other pictures. :)
Making silly faces in the mirror...
For a few weeks every night we would take Marshall into the bathroom to brush his teeth before bed he would make all sorts of silly faces at himself in the mirror. He only did this at night, no other time of the day. So, one night we pulled out the camera and I'm sure glad we did, because he doesn't do it anymore, here it is!
