Funny Duck

Dear Munchkin,

You are such a funny duck right now.  The past several swim classes you've either fallen asleep or tried to fall asleep in the pool during the bit where you're supposed to be learning.  You were so funny the first time.  You literally just fell asleep while I was holding you in the water.

So in today's class I decided I would skip the aquafit part so you wouldn't get too tired.  But that didn't work.  You fell asleep anyway.  The instructor had decided we should take bets on how long it would be before you fell asleep.

You're so silly sometimes.

Love

Mom

Captain Six Teeth

Well this morning after what seemed like forever, our Munchkin poked his second upper front tooth through.  It's been on the verge since Thanksgiving Weekend when the other one popped through.

Hopefully this means I have a happier baby at night now as that's when it seems the teething bothers him most.

I can't believe he has so many teeth already.

Getting Educated

Dear Robbie,

On Friday we started up your education fund for you.  We're told that it will be super expensive by the time you're old enough, so we thought we had better start saving now.

Love

Mom

Baby Steps

Dear Munchkin,

You are growing up too fast my friend.  Tonight your Dad had you standing up by your hands and you started with the walking motion.  You made it across the room.

Now I'm sure it will be awhile before you really walk as you need to figure out balance and pulling yourself up.

It was neat to see, but Mr. Munchkin, we're not ready yet for you to be grown up enough to walk.

Love

Mom

Happy 10 Month!

How the time files.  Today is Robbie's 10 month birthday!  He's getting so big and less babylike every day.

Today he was rather on the out of sorts side as it looks like he's trying to grow a whole bunch of teeth at once.   But all in all we had lots of cuddles and it was a good birthday day.

Cold

Well Munchkin had his first cold this weekend.  He woke up with it on Friday morning.  It's been a very mild cold which is good, but he's been a Mr. Grumpy pants on and off.  I think we got pretty lucky with this cold.

It's almost gone as far as I can tell and hopefully he will be back to normal soon.  He was pretty sleepy yesterday.

An Appropriate Quote

Dear Robbie,


I friend shared this quote with me the other day.  I think it was written just for you:


"There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”


Christopher Robin, to Winnie the Pooh


You have proven over and over again how brave, strong and smart you are.  You are my little joy.  




Love


Mom
