Blah Blah Blah Baby Robby Blah Blah Blah

You all know it by now, but, let's reinforce the cuteness with more pictures!


 
At the Willington Library, horsing around

 
Bear Hugs

 
Moose Tracks

 
Pot Head!

 
I picked up these ears while in California last week. Absolutely adorable. Got a t-short too. To be faetured later.

 
Coming to help dad shovel today's snow.

 
Staying on the path

 
Looking for the perfect handful of snow to eat

 
Over here looks good

 
Hurry up, dad. It's time to go to swim class!

 
Robby had to sneak a nap before class.

 
Where's my sock? Trying to put my boots on.

I survived the Blizzard of 2013

I was going to spend a lot of time in this introduction explaining the storm, the 32" of snow we received, and the massive clean up effort. But, since a picture is worth 1,000 words, I've written like 20, 000 words about today below.

The Backyard


Last night, when it all began


He's really into the snow thing


Snow halfway up the door


Westford, before the storm.



Warrenville, last night


Rte. 89 last night




The start of the clean up post storm


First lap around the driveway

Walking down to the lake



Playing in the snow



Running down the road



Yup. That deep


Rte 89 after the storm

I told you it was deep.

I saw the sign...

By special request from Uncle Gene, here's a list of all the signs Robby knows (or at least the ones we could remember). I'd say 80 percent he has down pat. The rest he thinks he knows, but he can't quite make his hands do what he wants yet, but he gets pretty close. And to save you the effort, there are 100 signs on this list. Special thanks to Signing Time with Alex and Lia (and Uncle Gene and Aunt Becky)!

10 Things I Love About Robby Right Now


A guest post from Christina...

Getting ready for swim class.
10. He says “un” for run, and then bounces around the room in a circle.

9. He likes to do deep knee bends and count each one.

8. He can play by himself.

7. He will hold my hand when we walk across a parking lot.

6. He doesn’t cry when I leave him at the drop-off daycare at the gym.

5. He can dance.

4. He loves to be tickled.

Robby: A week in Pictures

 
Headed into the library with Dad

 
Catching up on some puzzle work

Rumba = Vacuum aka "Back-oom"

 
Waiting for Pizza Pie

 
Robby's favorite -- Vacuum!
(we're ordering him a toy vacuum as we speak)


Baby in town: To the Mall!

By far the most traveled baby of his "Mommy & Me" cohort, Robby managed to make it to yet another town last month. We met Grandma and grandpa at the West Farms Mall in Farmington. Fun was had by all: Robby got to do his alphabet for someone new, and Mommy and Daddy got some much needed R&R. We went to dinner. Yep.

 
A B C D E F Grandma!

 
Having a snack with mommy

 
PBJ  Hooray!

Everyone's Counting on the Vacuum

Here are two quick videos for your enjoyment (and Robby Fix):

Robby really likes the vacuum. I have no idea why. He keeps telling us that there is a mess, and we need to get the vacuum. He likes the vacuum. Bye-Bye vacuum. Like Vacuum.

Robby knows how many toes he has. watch him count to 10.
