Hooray!

So, Robby's tummy time used to look something like this.

(yeah... he gets really red and sweaty when he cries)
He would make no attempt to lift his head. He'd just lay there and cry most of the time.
Ever since we got the rug, I have been trying to do tummy time more.

And on Monday, October 26th, Little Robby finally lifted his large noggin off of the ground.





It was funny to watch. I think he had been strong enough before, he just didn't think about trying to lift his head. So, when he finally did, it was like "Oh... hey.... this is much better than laying here with my face planted into the ground!" And then he just kept doing it over and over.

"Hey, Ma! Look what I can do!"



We sure love our jolly little guy. It is so fun to watch him develop and grow and gain a little personality.
Robby did a full out laugh for the first time on Wednesday, October 14th. And ever since then, it has become easier and easier to get him to laugh. The first times he burst into laughter I wasn't even sure what was so funny! But, he sure found something humorous! Now it is easier to trigger the laughter. It seems a lot of the times he laughs is when he's on his changing table and we are talking to him.

Here is a laughing outburst from yesterday.
Enjoy.

He is sure getting big--and is still very cute! It is fun to see them master new tasks! Thanks again for the caramel apple tutorial. Although, I have been craving them again, which is not a good thing for my weight. Oh, well! What good is life if you can't enjoy a caramel apple now and then.

Robby is sure a cutie! His laughter made me laugh, too. I can hardly wait to come see you. Have fun with every little change, you certainly deserve it. Give him a big Grandma Brower hug and kiss.
