As tended to be the theme of his first year, Marshall was sick but generally happy enough to stick his way through it for his birthday. We started the day at the doctor's office. The fun stuff - he is 50% in height. Didn't get an actual number, but the charts say that is around 29-30 inches. His weight was down to 10%...19ish pounds. Head stays tiny at 5%. If his 12-month shots weren't bad enough, the doc also said he had another ear infection and pink eye. This was after we went to MedCheck on Sunday (after a 103 fever) and they said he just had a virus...ears and eyes looked fine.
Nevertheless, he seemed in good spirits, and it just seemed depressing to spend another day at home, so we took him to the Children's Museum for a little bit as planned. Shhhhhh...Miles must NEVER know! We decided this was (and might be) the only time Marshall gets both parents to himself to do what he wants. He really enjoyed his time in Playscape and even tolerated the carousel.
We had lots of fun at his party on Saturday. It turned out to be a beautiful day, and we spent a lot of it outside.
It took Marshall a little while to get into his cake, but he got the hang of it. He was even more into it on his actual birthday, even licking the plate!
I am amazed at how big he suddenly seems. When he did this, I could hardly believe my eyes:
I can't leave big brother out of this post. Check out his genius idea to lure Peyton Manning back to the Colts:
