In the Zone
In my "new mama" class we discussed the very hot topic of sleep this week. Our homework assignment was to look for the first cues of sleepiness, one of which is the "50 yard stare". I think these pictures pretty much nail it.
Los Abuelos
Grandma and Grandpa Tonucci are visiting this week. Just in time to experience the onset of Marcus's "social smiles"! It's so great to see that tiny little face break out into a chubby cheeked grin.
Here are a few pictures of Marcus enjoying his Abuelo y Abuela.

Testing Out the Bumbo
I think we have a winner! We still aren't quite there with full head control, so Marcus can't sit unattended yet. However, I think he is going to love being able to sit up and observe the world!

I Love Soccer
Apparently all of those Saturday mornings watching soccer with his dad has engrained a certain affinity in our little Marcus....

Crazy Eyes
Everyone has been commenting on how "alert" Marcus is. I believe this is a euphemism for the look that Todd and I have dubbed "crazy eyes". Guess which one of us he got that from....

Happy Mother's Day
Todd and Marcus were very sweet to me on Mother's Day. First I was blessed with a pretty good night of sleeping by Marcus. Then Todd sweetened the pot by taking Marcus after his wake-up time of 5:30am so that I could sleep a little bit longer.
Todd then whipped up a delicious breakfast and gifted me beautiful flowers.
Finally, Todd took Marcus for a few hours of "man time" so that I could have some much needed alone time at the mall. I feel rejuvenated!
Here's the little man this morning, working on his Heisman pose.

1 Month Old!
It's May 11th, which means Marcus is officially 1 month old!
Here's the little man this morning. He seems pretty chipper for barely sleeping. He was up every 1.5 hours last night to feed. And when he wasn't eating he was grunting. Oh boy, let's hope this is just a growth spurt!

Daddy's Little Rookie
Todd is traveling for work this week, which means I am flying solo with the little man.
Lucky for me he has been on good behavior and I have had a bunch of friends pitching in and stopping by to help and provide me with adult interaction.
Yesterday we ventured out to Babies R Us for some necessities. Marcus got a new pacifier clip to keep him from projectile spitting it onto the floor when we are out and about!

Week #4
As we reach the tail end of Marcus's 4th week of life, here are some developments:
- He is quite the growing boy. We no longer fit into our newborn sleepers (too tall), and we weighed in at 9lbs 13ozs!
- He is still fighting sleep. Marcus just does not want to miss out on any of the action, so daytime naps are a struggle (unless he is sleeping on a human).
- He loves the other babies and moms in our "New Mama Class" we started up this week. He loves staring at everyone, and was very well behaved.
- He is still uncertain of the car seat. Sometimes we fall asleep, and sometimes we scream our heads off - it's a crap shoot each time!
Cousin Avery
Marcus met his second cousin, Avery, this past weekend. As you can see, they played in their gyms together, and then posed for some pictures.
