We're having a super small birthday party for Marcus on Saturday and I wanted to take him to get a "real" haircut before then. Mark has trimmed his hair a few times before, but it was time to take a little off the top and smooth out the back. Since he's such a wiggly worm, I had no idea how to get him to keep still, but a friend suggested to give him a sucker during his haircut. Well, this worked like a charm! The whole haircut didn't take an entire 10 minutes, but he sat there and played with my keys, then sucked on the sucker. While it was still in the wrapper, I tried to let him hold it and he threw it. So once I opened it, I held onto it while he sucked the sweetness out of it. He's not a baby anymore, but a BIG BOY! It brings a tear to my eye, but not one of sadness, but of joy, really. I didn't even know for sure if we'd be able to have a child and the Lord has blessed us with this amazing little man. I can't believe he's been in our lives for nearly a year now. What a wonderful savior we serve! :)

| Marcus definitely loves his Aunt Liv |

| It was nap-time and he got fussy, but Daddy calmed him with a shoulder ride. |

| He LOVED the sucker (his first) and did really well holding still. |
