He also is clapping and waving. He's been doing both for a little while now, but he's now getting much more dependable about it. These days you can say "bye bye" and he waves. Often while staring at the door wondering who's leaving. And almost any time you say "yay!" or someone on the TV cheers, he joins in.

New Skills
Robbie has a few new skills these days. He still can't (won't?) crawl, but he doesn't really need to. He's figured out how to bounce across the floor on his butt. The video below was taken last week. He's got a lot faster since then. The first video also shows him transitioning from sitting to his belly. He's been working on that skill for a while. There were lots of head thumps for a bit, but he seems to have it down now.

Halloween
Happy Halloween from the world's cutest kangaroo!
Daddy couldn't resist a smooch.
I think I like my flamingo better than my joey, though.
We went to a Halloween party at my daycare.
My grandpa's even here!
Nicholas & Maddie were all born within a few weeks of me.
A dingo ate my baby!
Maddie didn't seem to want to hold hands.

Murphy's Law: The lower your checking account balance, the greater the chance your car starts making a funny noise.
Robbie's pediatrician tells me if I hadn't stayed home with Robbie for a year, she shudders to think what would have happened. He needed me. I needed him. It needed to be done. But I'm not sure we will every financially recover.
David's car is acting up. Of course.
...
My MIL definitely set Robbie's eating backward. He has spent the last week crying upon laying eyes on a sippy cup, spoon or bowl. Daycare was shocked. Fortunately they were able to make feeding fun by doing a lot of cheering, and enlisting the other kids to do the same and have made up a little of the lost ground this week.
We could use some prayers that he goes back to, not really normal I guess, but at least where he was pre-MIL visit soon. He was enjoying eating to a degree. He would open his mouth and actively participate in the feeding, at least. Now he just cries and puts his hands over his face.
...
Robbie has yet another cold. When I took him to daycare on Monday a couple of the kids had a drippy nose. Robbie's started tonight. I hate germs.
...
We still can't get H1N1 shots around here. I'm considering chaining myself to the doors of the health dept until they release one of the 500 doses my county (yes, 500 doses for the whole damned county) FINALLY got this week. They tell me they still haven't decided how to distribute them yet. SERIOUSLY? The CDC has a protocol for who should get them first. They aren't doing anyone any damned good sitting on a shelf somewhere.
Cut a stressed out high-risk-preemie mom out, here!
...
Robbie did get approved for Synagis shots this year. We were very worried he wouldn't, but with his two wheezing episodes over the summer (and who knows how much effort from his pediatrician's office) he did get approved. He gets his first shot in a couple of weeks.
...
Enough of my rambling. How freaking cute is my kid?
Mommy got the coolest ballons for her birthday!
da da da da da da da da Bat man!
You're so silly!
I eat candy?
Help! Grandma's trying to steal me!
Stairway to Heaven, anyone?
Look how long my hair is getting.
The high chair rocks. It's just that crap that put on the tray that sucks.
Just let me go, grandpa. I'm ready to take off!
When I think about you, I touch myself....
Cheeeeeese!
