A birthday party and real food

This weekend, we went to our friend Savannah's 1st Birthday party.  During the party, they stripped all of the little ones of their clothes and sat them in front of cupcakes.  Marcus is not ready for cake yet, so he didn't get to partake, but he had a cracker to eat while they were working on theirs.  Don't worry, he doesn't know what he's missing yet, so he didn't really care.

Here's our friend Savannah eating her cupcake with her mom Mary Alice.

Tonight was Marcus' first exposure to feeding himself dinner.  He has had finger food snacks before, but never the whole meal.  We've been doing Gerber jar foods and I decided I should try out real vegetables and meat for him to eat.  We started with turkey hot dogs and green beans.  He doesn't like green beans from the jar, but I thought fresh green beans might be different.  He ate some of them, but he definitely preferred the hot dogs.

Like Father, Like Son

Just like Daddy, Marcus fell asleep in front of the TV at 7:00 tonight.

4th of July

Marcus and I went to the 4th of July Spectacular on Schofield Barracks this weekend.  It was a great time to hang out with a lot of the wives from Eric's unit.  Smash Mouth was the headliner and we had a ton of good food.  We were there all day, which was draining, but it was a lot of fun.  Marcus loved the fireworks; he just sat there and stared at them.  Here are a few pictures from our day.

If you look closely in this picture, you can see his teeth.
