MEET MARCO

the story of me

Grandma and Grandpa Toulouse

I got to meet my Grandma and Grandpa who came all the way from Michigan to meet me! Grandma is my mom’s mom. I had a great time with them. They watched me while my parents went to a Timbers game, and I was supposedly a good boy! We went for lots of walks and one day we had a picnic in the park. I enjoyed looking at the ducks..

Mind = Blown

My parents have this robot that cleans their floors. A robot!! It is so awesome; I could just watch it all day! I can’t believe I didn’t notice it until now.

On The Ball

Mommy has shown me a new way to do tummy time. She puts me up on her yoga ball and rocks me back and forth. I like this more than tummy time on the floor because I can see things around me better!

My Favorite Pose

Check it out! I love to lay with my hands behind my head, like this: Today my parents took me to a big sale where there are lots of baby toys and clothes. I did a poo so they had to change my diaper in the trunk of their tiny car. What did I do? Struck a pose! I’m so comfortable like this that I’m even able to sleep without.. Read More

My Cat Brothers

Lately I’ve been really interested in my cat brothers, Xabi and Shay. Xabi is cool and I like him, but he walks away when my parents bring me near him. Shay is a bit more tolerant and will even let me touch him! Plus he is black and white, which I seem to respond to. I’m lucky to have such neat-o cat brothers!

My Time With Matthew, Kelli, and Bixby

I’m a few days late in posting this, but it took me a bit to recover from all the excitement… I had so much fun when Uncle Matthew, Aunt Kelli, and their 15 month old son Bixby came to visit! I was fascinated by Bixby and his boundless energy. We did all kinds if activities. One day we went to the aquarium. I didn’t love it, but did really enjoy.. Read More

Sleep, Wonderful Sleep!

By Laura… Last night was Marco’s best sleep night ever! Matthew, Kelli, and their one year old son Bixby are staying with us, and I think Marco was really tuckered from the day and watching Bixby play. He fell asleep at 6:30 pm and, aside from waking briefly to eat twice, slept until 6:30 am! I am sure this won’t become a pattern yet, but we sure hope it does!.. Read More

Flippidy Do Da!

Hooray! Today I figured out how to flip from my tummy to my back! This means I have a way out of tummy time! Mom and dad think this is a very big deal. They were so excited! Mom even took a video of my fourth flip. Check it out! trim.77304817-7B3C-4E43-B4A1-7A9A245F0552

Meeting the Headleys

Today I finally got to meet Aunt Janice’s parents, Yuko and Rick! They were visiting all the way from Texas. Yuko loved holding me and even taught me “peek-a-boo” in Japanese! She also sang me a lovely song, which kept me calm and happy all through dinnertime. It was wonderful to meet them!

My Review of Sophie the Giraffe

Ok so apparently every baby loves this giraffe called Sophie, so my parents bought it for me. They have showed it to me several times now that I’m good at grabbing things. So far, I’m not sure what all the hype is about. I mean, it’s a plastic giraffe that squeaks. I put it in my mouth but I’m just not feeling it. Maybe I’ll like it more later… I’ll.. Read More
