Hi! My name is Marco Gregory Milani and I'm almost 5 months old! I'm a pretty big guy. I probably weigh close to 15 lbs... but we aren't sure. Mom just keeps saying I'm getting heavy and she also complains about how fast I'm growing... something about 3 to 6 month clothes being too small.
I can do lots of good tricks: I squeal really loud -- clearly I take after my daddy's family. I think I may be a singer someday. I can roll over and over and over. I can put my whole fist in my mouth. I can almost get my foot in as well (not at the same time as my fist, of course). I think I'm gifted. I also like to laugh a lot, particularly at my sister - she's sooo funny. Mom thinks I look like my Unkie Andy when I laugh. I dunno. Daddy calls me the chocolate Fiske. He says I look like my cousins Freddie and Calvie. Mom says this is a compliment b/c they are very handsome. (She may be biased.)
I spend my days doing all sorts of fun things. I play in my exersaucer, which I LOVE b/c it makes noises and sounds. I play on my exer-gym mat. I love to swat the animals. (I also like to roll off of it and across the room.) I play in my door jumper that my friend Karina gave me (I LOVE Karina). It's VERY fun. Sometimes I pretend I'm flying an airplane or sometimes I just suck on the side. It tastes really yummy. I also go to the park with my mommy and sister. The park is fun. I like the swing and I think I'm really going to like the slide when I can do it by myself. Now, mommy has to help me which really cramps my style. The other kids seem to like me. They like to come up and pet me and say things like "baby". I don't think they realize I'm a big kid too.
I also do normal kid things like eat, sleep, poop, and eat and poop more. Mom says I have excellent pipes. I think she's referring to my singing voice but dad says she's referring to my poops.... I'm a pretty good sleeper. Sometimes when I want to be nice to my mom and dad I sleep from 8PM to 6:30AM. Mom and Dad have been trying this tough love thing with me at night which is no fun. It just makes me mad but I feel really well rested.
My big sister, Julia, likes to play with me and dress me up in her tiara. She also likes to take toys away from me. She does it because she can - I cannot chase her yet. I let her at this point but only because I'm just biding my time before I begin my reign of terror on her dolls, bears, and toys. Nothing will be safe in my presence. I plan to take them, sit on them and even drool on them. I also plan to chase her. I'm sure that someday I will be big and fast. Mom says it's bound to happen soon....
Anyway, here are some pictures of me! See how big I'm getting!
