MEET MARCO

My mom is so worried about me because I don’t like to eat table food. Mostly, I eat purées and avoid finger foods. My mom tries to introduce new textures, but I usually refuse to eat them. She tries giving me cubes of cooked apple, carrot, blueberries, and other things that I look at and then throw on the floor. The one thing I do love, however, is pita and.. Read More

i like what I see in the mirror! Whenever I see myself, I give myself a great big kiss!

What a great day! I got abou in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Toulouse! It’s by one of my favorite authors, Sandra Boynton. I was so excited when I opened the package! Then I crawled around with the book and the envelope: Then I played with the envelope. I’m such a silly boy!

Mom and Dad talk about Los Gorditos Mexican restaurant like it’s the most delicious food in the whole world! I’ve even been to the restaurant a few times, but of course I didn’t get any of the food since I was only eating purées. However, now that I am a little bit more adventurous with my food textures, Mom thought it was time I tried some of this deliciousness. I.. Read More

Guess what I can do? Mom taught me how to drink from a straw! It’s not too difficult! I still have a bit of practice to do, but Mom hopes to have me drinking from a straw cup instead of a bottle soon. For now, I get a little bit of both.

We also went out to eat a few times and to the park. I.. Read More

Most babies my age eat finger foods. Not me. I don’t like anything that requires me to chew. This makes my mom very sad. She tries so hard to get me to eat crackers and bananas and other little finger foods. I’m just not into it. Except… I seem to like tortillas! Mom gave me a little piece over the weekend and I chewed it up and ate it! She.. Read More

I went to my second Timbers game today, this time versus Orlando. We got there at half time because of my nap schedule. I was really enjoying the game and studying up on all the plays because I want to be good at soccer one day. However, my dad and I were not happy when Kaka scored a penalty against us. Oh well. The Timbers are not off to a.. Read More

We have established how much I love the guitar. Well, today Mom and Dad took me to a big sale for babies and kids. Can you guess what they got me? I’m so excited! I’m pretty sure this is how you play it: I know it’s not a real guitar but it’s still pretty fun. My parents told me they would buy me a real one once I’m old enough.. Read More

By Laura Whenever I play blocks with Marco, I’m reminded of the Modern Family episode where Mitchell is so competitive that he takes another baby’s block tower and says Lily did it at a baby play group. This is after another parent asks if she is stacking yet. I’m always thinking, “ok Marco, let’s see you stack those blocks!” Because you know, I don’t ever want to be put in.. Read More
