4 months old

Marc went to the doctor today for his 4 month checkup and to get shots. He is growing and healthy. He weighs 18 1/2 pounds and is almost 26 inches long. I miss the days of carrying an 8 pound baby around, but it is worth it. Marc did really well with the shots. He cried for a few seconds, and the went back to sucking on his pacifier. The nurses even commented on how well he did. I did better this time too, I didn't shed one tear!! I was grateful that this time went better for both of us. Here are a few pictures I took at the doctor's office and then a couple just fun ones.

Marc Rolled Over!!!

Well we have been practicing rolling over and all our hard work finally paid off.

Last night we were trying to get Marc to roll over, but he kept getting tired and laying his head on the ground (which was so cute).





This morning I put him down on his stomach and within 30 seconds he had rolled over. Of course I only saw the very end of the roll, and Matt totally missed it, and Marc wouldn't do it again, but nevertheless, he rolled over!!!


Reading instead of rolling over again like mom and dad want.

Favorite Toy

Marc has found his favorite toy, it is a stuffed lion that my Grandpa Schiess gave him. He grabs it and instantly it goes to his mouth. It is fun to watch him grow and develop. Today Matt was talking to him and said, "I can't wait till you can give me hugs." I am excited for that too, but I also am loving each step that comes.

My dad came to visit tonight and was talking with Marc. He told Marc that he needed to be nicer to his mom and dad and not wake them up. Marc's bottom lip started to quiver and his eyes welled up with tears and he started to cry. It was sad, but at the same time kinda funny.

Utah Trip

Marc with Papa


Matt had an interview in Nebraska this weekend and so I decided to go down to Utah with him so we could stay for the long weekend. He flew out on Thursday night and I went and stayed with Aunt Lindsay and her kids. We had a great time together. Matt got back on Friday night and we spent the rest of the time visiting family and friends. Marc was so good and everyone loved seeing him. It was good to see everyone and we loved showing Marc off.

Just Cause

I don't think we are quite ready to sit up yet, but we will keep working on it




Matt calls this the King Noah pose


Well we really don't have any real news, but I thought that I would just put some pictures of Marc up. He is starting to be more active, has found his fingers, and now smiles and laughs when we talk to him. Having a baby is so much fun and we love having Marc in our home.
