Running and Talking

Marius is feeling much better now. Unfortunately his parents aren't though. Simon and I are still battling the pink eye and a cold.
On a more pleasant front.... Marius just did this above today!!! I was totally expecting him to slowly walk down the hall, or stand there and make me coax him. But when I pressed the record button he just came flying at me. I had to film it about 3 times before I actually had time to set him up, run back down the hall and hit record while he still had some hall to run down. He had a 3 hour nap this afternoon, so perhaps we was just resting up for his big development spurt. At any rate, I'm pretty excited! Although, it was a lot easier to take care of him before he was so mobile.... Where does the time go? I swear it was just yesterday we came over here and he was starting on solid foods. Now he bites chunks out of cookies with his top and bottom teeth! While I have not heard any identifiable or repeating words yet (sure he can say mama and baba, but he hasn't a clue what they mean yet) he is making lots of sounds these days. The video below has some of his chatter and funny hand gestures. When he gets really happy he does the hand moves. Every time he gets a cookie he stretches his arm up in the air like he's He-Man.
Well, I hope you enjoy the baby videos!
