First Christmas

Despite the ailments Marcus was suffering from, he managed to have a wonderful first Christmas.

Thank you to grandma and grandpa Tonucci, Tia Romi, Tio Craig, and Ron and Charlene Krupitzer for sharing in this magical moment!

On to Christmas #2 with grandma and grandpa Sarbaugh!

No Fun

Well we made it to Michigan, unfortunately so did a pesky cough. After a night up coughing we called the nurse line at our pediatric office and instructed to take Marcus to the ER.

After an exam, nasal swab, X-ray, and nebulizer treatment, we were finally sent home with a diagnosis of double ear infections and bronchiolitis or RVS. We've started the little man on antibiotic and home nebulizer treatments and hope he gets better in time for Santa.

Throughout the entire ordeal Marcus remained a smiley little champ. Except during the nebulizer, we hate that thing.

Ho Ho Ho! Here we go!

We hit the road yesterday for our first trip to Chicago with Marcus. It worked out perfectly!

He slept for 3 of the 5.5 hours and once he woke up I was able to keep him fed, happy and entertained until we made it to grandma and grandpa Sarbaugh's house.

Tonight we fly out to Michigan, fingers crossed!

Santa Baby

Marcus got to visit downtown Minneapolis and see the Macy's auditorium show with his cousins, Ethan and Amanda. He had a blast with them. However, he was slightly less impressed with the main man himself, Santa!

The Most Wonderful Time

Marcus was not quite sure what to think about the first big snow fall. I was too lazy to take him outside (sooooo many layers to put on the squirmy little guy), so we enjoyed the views from inside in our pjs.

Gobble gobble!

A little behind here, but here are some pics from Marcus's first thanksgiving.

We had a fun time in Michigan, celebrating the day of eating and out friends Joe and Kelly's big wedding day!
