By Laura… We all love Marco. But man, is he difficult!! I just want to document what we call “red-faced baby”- when he screams and cries so much that he turns red. There’s not much we can do to calm him down when he is like this, which is often. We have to swaddle him, shhhhh him, give him a pacifier, rock him, and then hopefully he will calm down. It’s..

Back In Oregon
We are back from our trip to California! My parents celebrated by taking me to lunch at a food cart pod. They enjoyed a yummy meal while I slept. It feels good to be back home in Portland!
Me and the Kids!
There are a lot of kids in California, and somehow they all wanted to hold me! I got to be held by Hudson and Jackson. They are Uncle Dwayne and Aunt Kristin’s kids. I also got to be held by Alyson, who sang me the most lovely rendition of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” I’ve ever heard: Alyson is Aunt Gloria’s daughter. Mom has known Aunt Gloria and Aunt Tammy since.. Read More
Dad and Plaid
My dad and I had a talk today about plaid shirts. Apparently this is a Mazzucco thing- we like plaid. I wore a plaid shirt like my dad today and I thought I looked pretty snazzy. My dad did too!
Lunch at Souplantation
We are still in California. Today we went out to lunch at Souplantation with Nanny, Pappi, the Palaseks, and Uncle Rob and Aunt Kathie.

However, I was Mr. Crankypants at the.. Read More
My Godparents
While in California, I got to hang out with both of my Godparents, Uncle Dwayne and Aunt Kristin. It was great seeing them both and visiting their nice, air conditioned house! Did I mention it was hot in California?
Me, Nanny and Pappi!
When we went to California, I met my Nanny and Pappi. They are my dad’s parents. I was really impressed with their garden! My mom took me out on the deck in the backyard each morning before it got hot and we all hung out and enjoyed the lovely trees and watched the blue jays take peanuts off of the table. I did not like the blue jay’s screechy chirp.. Read More
My First Airplane Flight
Wow! This morning we left the house at 4:30 am and drove to a new place, the Portland Airport! We went on a plane to Southern California to visit family and friends. My parents were worried about me flying since I cry a lot. I surprised them by sleeping the entire flight! Here is a photo taken right before the flight.
I’m So Excited!
Today my mom told me that Grandma and Grandpa Toulouse will be coming out from Michigan to visit me in October! I got really excited when she told me about this. I can’t wait to meet them in person!!
Smiling!
Hey! I have learned to smile! I am realizing that you smile when you like something or if you are happy! Today I practiced my smile with my family. They were really excited!
