Wrights Lake

Robert's first time (if we don't count last year's trip where he took an unexpected swim inside his mama's belly...) at Wrights lake was a sucess, well for the most part after we learned our lesson the first night!
#1: Robbert sleeps in the tent inside the cabin, mama and daddy sleeps outside, on the deck.
#2: Always have a dog water bowl ready, and extra change of clothes.





What we also realized is that "Wagner", pronanced "Vaagner" (Kevin named him, since he had to tolerate "Thomas" the Coupe) suits the cabin trip well, although we do need to invest in some good roof racks.

Well, somehow we didn't make it to the lake even though it's pretty much just outside the cabin, maybe if it were hotter next time, I think I am still afraid of the water since last time...
we did manage to go on a long hike into Desolation Wilderness even with our old timer 4-legged children...








And who knew that a snotty paper towel can be such a fun toy?!?!

First Fever

It's official, Robbie had his first case of major vomit followed by fever this morning, we also had his 9 month appt today, amazingly 3 shots later, he's somewhat happier, and even got his appetite back for some Necterins!

Here's the stats:

28.5" (50th percentile, not quite the shorty I suspected)
20lb 4oz (50th percentile, had to match his height right?)
18" HC (apparently his head didn't grow at all for 3 months? Is pinhead in the future....)

Fun at the Carousel

Today is my buddy Everett's first birthday, we celebrated with a ride on the Carousel in Tilden Park, it was a bittle scary at first, but after holding on to mama, Robbie felt a lot better!

Scouting Mission at Boca/Stampede

Lately daddy is in a scouting frenzy for his up coming archery season, mama and baby tagged along for a dry, hot, dusty, nonetheless beautiful and relaxing camping weekend near Truckee.

we camped at Proser reservoir, we were glad to not be in the company of motor boats


this is how Robbie earn his title of Peach Boy:


saw some hot air balloon at crack of dawn

Some sheep on the hills, and the dogs seemed to really enjoyed the trip

He's Got a Few New Tricks

Learned how to stand up in his crib and shaking the rail to demand be taken out or company....

Loves to show off his sharp little pearlies


Loves to blow bubbles and make the "Bzzz" sound

Is motoring via crawling around the house, one day I need to bust out the video cam...

And, he still has chubby hand...

Playing with Macro

I got bored at Kev's soccer game, then got distracted by the honey bees busy working on the clovers, and this is what I got:


and later that day while hanging at the farm, I thought I will give the Macro setting some play time:

I <3 THESE

It's ironic that I am posting this for 2 reasons:

1. It's insanely HOT today, especailly for Oakland standard, a whooping 84 degrees!!

2. Robbies has already been made fun of for wearing Babylegs...

BUT I love them anyways!

Robbie was amazing on the long flights, he manage to get half of the passangers on the plane comment on how good a baby he was!
