I am sure many of you who read this blog have already seen many of these pictures, but here are some of the pictures of Marcus. He looks a lot like his father, but I have no baby pictures to upload to prove that fact.
Here he is making a funny face, but you can see he has blue eyes and light brown hair. My mom and I think he will probably be a tow-head as Christy is blond and there are several tow-heads in my family as well (hard to believe but the dark hair is more my dad).
He was a little fussy and some of you knew how hard it was on Roland and Christy, which, yes, it usually is. But they had a few too many complications to go along with the new baby. They both seemed to have pulled through together, which is wonderful, and Marcus is sleeping and eating better now. Christy is feeling much better, though she still has a couple of weeks left until she is 100%.
This doesn't look particularly safe, but illustrates well how small he is. And I know he is safe, because that is my wonderful brother's hand holding him. He was probably about two week old or so in this picture.
So I will have to leave you with this one, which was taken just recently and shows a lovely sleeping baby, which is probably a relief to the parents :-). Thank you all for your congratulations, I know the proud parents appriciate it!
Ah, my offspring's first blog article. *sniff* It's so beautiful! :-) In the picture of him on my leg, just be aware of the fact that my legs are together, and he's sitting in between them, so he's not dangling off my one leg or anything. :-) Don't want you all to think that I've dropped him or anything. Though the idea did cross my mind a time or two. :-0
Marcus and Mom are going up to Sacramento for 12 days, to hang out with christy's mom, while I go to Idaho for a Firearms Instructor course, so please keep us in your prayers. It's going to be hard on all of us.
Love ya shmen.
Cute!
The last picture didn't load on my computer though...
Ah well. I just won't believe he sleeps.
