Longest Nap Ever

Granted, he did play hard outside in the water and the heat, and his morning nap was only an hour, but Bobby slept from 1:45 to 4:10 this afternoon.  He hasn't broken the two hour mark since he's been taking structured naps.  Unfortunately this is probably a sign that the morning nap might be on its way out within the month. 

Just becuase

Just because it still boggles my mind, and you all can appreciate:
My friend just had twins, due 6/1.  so 39 weeks
7# 15oz and 8# 11 oz twins born vaginally.

Sunday night

Rick refuses to watch Lost with me.  We considered going to a movie but could not agree on one.

The ACC baseball tournament is in Greensboro this week.  We are going to a few games.

It is Rick's 40th birthday this Saturday.  He says send your presents now.

Bobby is more and more like the dog every day.

He is also quite clever. He figured out at dinner to hold his sippy cup upside down then pinch the soft nipple so all the water ran out; he then could play with it all over his tray.

Dinner

Bobby apparently likes pesto and frozen blueberries. He is a bit of a picky eater though, anti-veg and pro-carb and sweets.

We are excited to see Grammy tomorrow!!!

Growing so fast!

Bobby is getting good at standing without holding on and often does it while clapping.  He loves to bounce and clap along with music.

He also likes to hold onto things and "jump."  He never leaves the ground but he will jump in his crib, or holding your hands or a table.  Pretty funny stuff.  He was also in a booth in a restaurant, looking over the back and would squat down and stand up quickly - playing peek a boo.

He apparently got his 7th tooth.  Lower right outside.  Just noticed today, don't know when it came in.  If you try to feel around, he'll bite, so i stopped looking in there.

Rick is probably going to stay here until Bobby's birthday (6/4).  We MIGHT have him baptized that Friday night. SUPER LOW KEY CASUAL. 5 minutes ceremony before/after/during? 5:15pm mass with his coffee friends. We don't even have godparents as of now, so it might not even happen. Same with his birthday party, we might celebrate on Saturday if Elizabeth and Emily can come visit.  SUPER DUPER NOT A BIG DEAL.  But Rick hasn't left yet and is not organized enough to leave yet and gets paid for a couple more weeks, so he's just enjoying his son right now.

Quick Trip to DC

More on this later. 30 hours round trip. Saw Kirin and GW rowing graduates and NCS sophomore rowers. Stayed in Chinatown with Kirin. Some walking, kept it simple, didn't do too much. Rainy on Wednesday, cold on Thursday, but still lots of fun and so far not disruptive. Bobby slept 11.5 hours last night and then a 1:45 morning nap. So recovering probably, but on schedule.

So cute

Bobby can go down the stairs backwards alone! Yay.

He also can blow on his hot food. Of course this means he also blows on his yogurt and applesauce!

He motions his palm to his mouth to blow kisses and has also been seen to pucker his lips once or twice.

11 Months

Wow, times flies.  No more talking today. but he is definitely in a copying phase.  lots of repetition will get similar noises out of him.  He has a blast walking behind his walker and he makes laps across the house all by himself - even on the hardwood.  He is really enjoyable to parent these days. Maybe b/c I'm not doing it all around the clock anymore.  Or maybe b/c i'm finally getting some sleep, but he is just a really good kid.  We've been shopping a lot lately and he's a super good sport, same with going out to eat.  We're having fun playing family. 

I am getting a sore jaw from feeding him since I apparently open my mouth every time I want him to. 

Getting so big

Bobby sort of said his first word today. he definitely said "bye bye"  after we had said it several times.  so he copied us but i'll say it was clear.  he makes some 'da' sounds but no mama. and the dadadada isn't to a person, just a noise.

he's getting good at walking with the walker and stood behind it for several seconds with no hands a couple times today.

we all went to the park and the dog park today.  it was a nice afternoon.  the dog is pretty depressed but we're trying to cheer her up.
