A Festive Time of Year

Robin's first visit with Santa went well. He slept in line and then woke up in order to tell Santa he wanted some empty cardboard boxes to play with for Christmas.



He's really starting to fill out the star bunting his Grandma Sue made for him.



He's getting bigger! You can see how much his head sticks above the bjorn now, as compared to his earlier bjorn photos from previous posts.


I believe that Robin is going to be right handed. When he's nursing, sometimes he gets his hands in the way when I'm trying to latch him, almost as though he's trying to pull me towards him. I've noticed that when his right hand is the one with the most room to move, his actions seem to be stronger.


Also, today when I was swaddling him I moved his bib up over his face to keep it outside of the blanket, and he used his right arm to move the bib back off his face. I don't know whether the motion was conscious, but he did it twice!


Sixty years and sixty days. Today is Grandpa Del's 60th birthday, and it just so happens that Robin is exactly 60 days old today as well. We couldn't have planned that if we tried! This photo is technically 59 and 59, since it was taken at Del's surprise birthday party yesterday, but who's counting?


Capturing a small smile on film! This is Robin and Zax, a teddy bear made for him by his Great Aunt Catherine. We think they're getting to be good friends.


Lastly, another amazing milestone. Robin has moved beyond the crawling of his early days and has moved on to flying!
