Robbie Meets Grandparents



Greetings once again everyone!
Lots has happened since the last post. So hopefully I will be able to remember it and give ya some new pictures to look at as well. So, without further ado, onward & upward!

Well, Robbie finally met Grandpa and Grammie from Florida. It was very cool to see my in-laws reaction and how well they bonded with him (and Robbie with them). They took lots of pictures and video footage during their visit (somewhere around 1000 pictures from Cindy's guess) and everything turned out wonderfully. We took a trip to the Toledo Zoo to check out the new polar bear cubs, among the other animals in the zoo. We spent most of the time inside since it was a rather warm day and we did not want to expose Robbie too much in the sun. Later, we all went out for lunch and after eating most of my lunch, I gave Robbie a lemon to see how he would like it. Well, needless to say, he got a sour look on his face and then was grabbing for it like he wanted to try it again. Well, I gave him the slice and everytime he turned it to find a "sweet" spot, he would discover that it was still sour. But he looked cute doing it!
The big day for all of us was on Father's day. It was on this special day that we dedicated Robbie to God. Grandpa was able to get video of the whole time (the dedication of all the children during the 2nd service) so we will hold on to it so we can show him when he gets older. He behaved really well during the whole time on the platform and with the pastor. In all, there were 3 boys & 3 girls dedicated during this service.
The next day, we went to my in-laws hotel to go for a swim since it was warm. Well, Robbie did really well in the big tub, as I call it. Cindy, Grammie and I took turns playing with Robbie in the pool and having fun too. By the end of the day, he was pretty much wiped out from all the excitement and slept well.
Overall, I think things went really well with this new adventure in Robbie's young life. It appeared he bonded with Grandpa and Grammie very well and we are looking forward to being able to head south around his birthday (which is in December) to visit them.
In other news, Robbie went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup. He is doing very well and his doctor is pleased with his progress. He is now up to 17 pounds & 5 ounces and is over 27 inches in length.
Here are a few pictures of Robbie with Grandpa & Grammie during their visit last month. Until next time!
