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.
