Things around here have been pretty good. Not a whole lot has been going on other basketball games. Last week was a very busy week and both Mike and Saree had games 3 days. Friday night was the only day there wasn't a basketball game. Robbie has probably seen more basketball games in his short 9 months here than most have seen in their lifetime. Mom likes to think Robbie was her good luck charm as her team got their first win this season! Robbie was cheering her on and the team on the whole game. He is learning to clap and dance now so basketball games are lots of fun. (hopefully we can get some video loaded soon). This week was much less hectic with only 2 basketball games and Friday off to spend some much needed family/Grammy time. We were so glad that things weren't as busy as Robbie has been cutting his top 2 teeth. The week started off with a pretty good fever for Monday and Tuesday. Once we finally moved past the fever we went straight into runny/stuff nose. Like most kids he absolutely hates to get his nose sucked out. So needless to say we have a battle 2 or 3 times a day trying to keep his nose from being too stuffy.
On a good note we have finally quit moving up sizes in dialations. Once he doesn't fuss when we put in the dialation we will then only have to do the dialations once a day. He is almost there!! Sometimes its hard to tell if he is fussing because we have to hold his legs or because of the dialations. Either way he claps when we are done so you know he is glad it is over.
Yesterday we were able to spend sometime with Grammy at the hospital . Grammy had her surgery to remove her tumor yesterday! She is doing REALLY well and the doctors are optimistic that they got everything. Thank you to the WONDERFUL doctors that helped her out (esp. Dr. B :)).
We also celebrated Robbies 9 month birthday!!! We can't believe how big he is getting and how fast 9 months have gone. We will post pics and video as sooon as we get a chance.

Snow Days
10 inches of snow and -20 degree windchills has given us the opportunity to stay at home and spend a few quality snow days with Robbie. No practice, no games, no anything, just staying inside our warm house with our little boy. And truthfully there isn't much more that we could ask for! Wish so much in house time it to give a better update of how things have been going with Robbie. Over the past month he has really gotten to be so big. He crawls around in turbo speed when he sees something he wants, mom and dad are in a full sprint to keep him from getting into the things he shouldn't be getting into (i.e. the dogs water bowl). He constantly pulls himself up on everything. He trys to be brave occasionally and let go, however that doesn't go over to well since his balance isn't very good yet. He is starting to become a little woodchuck and eats everything he can put his mouth on. Needless to say dads cell is not nearly as nice as it used to be.
Robbie is now eating baby food a few times a day. He has liked everything we have given him with the exception of one thing..avacados. Mom was on the recieving end of that experiment and lets just say anything he had eaten prior to that come out immediately on contact. We have been giving him tons of vegetables and not fruit yet. He did get sweet potatoes the other day and really enjoyed them. I imagine if he is anything like mom he will love anything sweet.
We are working on trying to get Robbie to feed the bottle to himself. But surprisingly he likes when he fed and really isn't taking a liking doing it on his own. Milk ends up everywhere but his mouth.
During our 6th month check up (which was he was 7 1/2 months at) he was still measuring really little. He was in the 15% for weight, 50% for height, in this family that is really small. We will go back in March and get his weight checked again before we go to surgery.
So I know some of you guys are wondering how things work with both of us coaching girls basketball and where does Robbie go. Well we are more than blessed to have a awesome babysitter that is always more than willing to watch Robbie when we are running late after practice or sit a game and watch him when we both play on the same night. Unfortunately for mom Miss Michelle (the sitter) is a Blue Jay fan (dad's school) and so he goes to alot of dads games. About once a week he gets to come to a practice with mom or dad for 30 mins. Robbie loves this because of all the attention he gets from the girls, I don't think he will have a problem with the ladies when he gets older. Come the end of the week Robbie gets his fix of basketball......and girls.
That is a more detailed update on Robbie! We will try to a better job of updating, but with basketball games, practice, work, and Saree taking class it is not as easy as it was this fall. We hope everyone is staying warm and doing well.
