Marcus turned one on Saturday. We had a birthday party by the riverside with lots of other little kids and parents. Unfortunately, Marcus caught a cold basically the morning of his party and wanted to sleep all day... poor thing. I had to wake him up because we were already 2hrs late to his own party and everybody was waiting. He got lots of nice presents even though I told everybody not to bother bringing any, a lot of books which he's into lately. It was a pretty good day.
He's fully walking now, and climbing our incredibly steep stairs which is scary. Have to figure out some way to block them.
I'm exhausted (think I'm getting a cold) but I wanted to update as I haven't in so long. I took a couple photos at his party but our friend's gf took way more and is sending them soon I hope, and then I'll post those too.
