Ham and cheese
New pictures! Marco is a ham. He loves posing for pictures, and will usually give me a grin when I ask. 
Lucky for us, because we love to photograph this handsome gent. Case in point: these pics of little man on his slide. Marco climbed and slid down his slide 20 times in a row, and each time he waited at the top and smiled – he wouldn’t slide down until I said “Cheese!” and clicked the shutter.
Haven’t posted height and weight in a long time, so here are the most recent numbers:
15 1 /2 months:
Height: 31 3/8″ (85th percentile)
Weight: 26 lbs (just under the 50th percentile
At last count, Marco has 8 top teeth and 10 bottom teeth! Unfortunately, they’ve all come in fairly close together – we’ve had some fun teething days.
Thank you!
Marco has learned to say “Thank you”, and it’s not only good manners, but totally cute:
new pics!
Marco loves this book!
Marco enjoys watching ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Colbert Report’ with Mom and Dad 
WALKING PROOF!
Finally, video proof of our beautiful boy’s skills! He walks like he’s had too many margaritas, but it looks cuter on him than it does on me. LOL
Eating habits
Marco loves food. He will eat anything put in front of him, which makes his parents very happy! We try to keep Marco on a healthy, organic diet whenever possible (which it isn’t always – sometimes a peach is just a peach).
It appears my plate is empty, Mom.

1st birthday pics
I’m still waiting on pictures from the attendees of the birthday bash, as I was unable to take many photos (hard to do when you’re corralling 30 people!), but here are a few from the big celebration (Friday cupcakes at school, Sunday party with friends and family, and Monday playtime and cuddles).
-
- Cupcakes at daycare
-
- Opening presents with Mom
-
- Playing on his new slide with Dad, Uncle Cameron, and Great-Grandma Judy
-
- He’s a pirate already :)
-
- Marco loves his R2-D2 chair from the Gomers!
Inching closer
Marco rediscovered his giraffe, Sophie, and at the same time, decided to walk with only one hand pushing his toy! He’s now comfortable only holding one of our hands, instead of both. SOOOO close to walking by himself!!!!
Get your popcorn ready
It’s movie time!
Here’s Marco crawling around (9 months)
Marco learned how to walk with Mama (9 months)
And here’s little man walking with his Dino (10 months):
Finally, Marco has learned how to stand all by himself! Now we know his walking will come very very soon! (10 months)
A bit late, but worth the wait!
