Balloon Time Fun

Here's a video of the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while. Britt has taken his bouncer entertainment to a whole new level. Who knew that a balloon would be the best birthday gift ever??!!

Da da!

6 Month Checkup

Britt had his 6 month old check up at the end of last week (I know, I'm behind again on posting!), and he's doing great. He's 17lbs 2oz and 25 1/2 inches long. That officially makes the gap between weight (50th percentile) and height (20th percentile) even larger. I guess those Marshall genes are going to kick in later, but for right now he's dealing with the Burger curse! He finished up the last dose of the major vaccines, and they made him very grumpy for a day or two, but he was back to normal fairly quickly.

The ped said it's excellent that he's scooting and sitting very independently. In fact, the scoot looks very similar to a combat crawl (Uncle Keith would be proud!) with a breaststroke kick (Aunt Ash would be proud!), and he can get himself across our big front room very quickly, especially when Macey is involved in the chase. As of today he can get back into a sitting position from his hands and knees. I predict he'll be full-on crawling next week and playing golf by next month.

Above is a pic from Atlanta. He was wedding dress shopping (like a champ!) but also supporting his Vols and making many girlfriends.

Britton Loves Millie!

It isn't the right time for us to get a dog anytime soon, but Britton has really found himself a good friend in Atlanta. Here he is with Millie at Ashley's house.

Happy Half Birthday!

I'm a day late posting, but I can't believe Britt is 6 months old. He's sitting very easily now (it started around the second week of September), and he's very close to crawling too. He can get up on all fours but does not quite know what to do from there. He can really scoot himself all over the place now, it's amazing how far he can get in just a short amount of time. He's also eating like a big boy (green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, bananas and peaches), and he loves his sippy cup!

We've been doing a lot lately...GT football game, wedding shopping with Ashley, playing frisbee with Millie (the Atlanta weather is amazing!), and seeing lots of friends. We just had a great dinner tonight with Ashley W, Jenny, and Laura, and Britt turned on his charm for the ladies. He just can't resist a pretty face!

I have quite a few videos to post but have had a hard time getting them to upload without errors. Check back soon, I won't let a month get away from me again without a post.
