Where's 10 Months ?

During the last two weeks of April the Hendersons and especially Robbie were very, very sick. So much so that his 10 month day went by largely unnoticed and completely undocumented.

A Quiet Evening

You Have Been Weighed . . .

. . . you have been measured, and you have been found to be 17lbs and 28.75 inches.

9 Months Today

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Third Tooth

A third tooth surfaced, this one on top; not that you can see it in this picture.

Eight Months Today

Stylishly celebrated with cousin Alison.

The Blanket

When Sean was just a newborn his grandfather (Robbie's great grandfather), knit him the blanket seen here. With proper care, perhaps Robbie's son will be able to play on it some day.

A Late Christmas

Illness and conflicting schedules conspired to keep Sean, Margaret and Robbie from exchanging presents with Dave, Jo, and the boys. However, in late February they finally got together.

Switcheroo

After more than 7 months of Margaret staying home with Robbie, she went back to work, and Sean took time off work to stay home with the boy. The first day of work for Margaret featured a teary goodbye.

First Words (not quite)

For the past few weeks Robbie has been making sound that one could mistake for words. First he was saying "hi", then "dada" and most recently "ah". However, a lack of context means that they are likely just random sounds. Oh well, soon Robbie, soon.

First Roll (the whole way)

It didn't take long after rolling back to front that Robbie found he could do the reverse. Though he's yet to discover that rolling is an effective way to get around.

Second Tooth

One week after his first tooth appeared, Robbie's second tooth began to show itself.

The Play's The Thing

After months of serving as a crib, and then as a change table, Robbie's play pen finally saw use as a play pen. (you can see the play pen serving as a crib in the post Robbie's Room; in Uncle Rob's Cuddle Time II and 6 Months Today you can see it in the background in the living room, acting as a change table)

Gaining Weight VIII

At six and a half months Robbie weighed 14lbs and 9oz. His length was up to 26 inches.

First Roll (half way)

After months of coaxing, particularily from Margaret, Robbie finally rolled from his back to his stomach on his own today. Surprisingly he didn't seem to mind being on his stomach so much when he got their on his own (he previously has hated it when someone else puts him there).

First Tooth

After long anticipation (Margaret thought a different tooth was going to surface months ago) Robbie's first tooth finally rose above the gums today.

Give Me Five - 6 months

Six months after the original picture here are Sean and Robbie's hands together again, plus the original picture for comparison.

Robbie in His Playcentre II

After months of just looking confused when put in his playcentre, Robbie finally started getting really involved in exploring it.
