March

We love going to the zoo! On this particular day, Robby was able to get exceptionally close to the polar bears!

 We live in a duplex-- us on the ground level, someone else upstairs, and a shared basement (unfinished...used for laundry and storage). Luckily, when we are in our part of the house, Robby has no acces to stairs. But, in order to get outside or down to the basement, you go out into a hallway where there are stairs.

The other day, I was downstairs looking through some boxes for something and Robby was down there with me.  I wasn't paying close enough attention, and he apparently went up the stairs and then tried to walk back down them (I am guessing here... I didn't see it happen.... but, judging from how he always tries to walk down the stairs when I am with him, I am assuming that is what he tried). Unfortunately, without me there to hold his hand, he fell down the stairs and landed on the unfinished basement floor :( Poor kid. Luckily he just got a big bruise, some scrapes and a scratches.

Here he is, bundled in his valentines blanket and laying on his heart pillow after his fall.

We have started going to the library a lot lately. The main library down town has an awesome childrens area. It is a fun family activity.

Robby has become quite fond of Elmo lately. He won't even really sit and watch Sesame Street (or any show for that matter). But, he likes watching short YouTube videos of Elmo singing songs and stuff.
Here is the first one he ever saw, which started off his fondness of the furry red monster. (Steve originally found this video when randomly searching for YouTube videos of songs about ducks... haha).

Grandma Kirkham sent him this fun Elmo in a package with an Elmo coloring book and some treats.
