Happy Friday the 13th!

Here at Moose Manner we are the proud owners of a brand new 17-month-old Moose.  Yea!  The days just go faster and faster.  Robert continues to be a very happy, easy going child (recessive genes, apparently) and really a delight to be around.  He's sleeping great-- 13 hours at night, 2 during the day-- and eating like a little piggy.  This week I made a 3 egg, two piece of cheese omelet, thinking we would share it, and he at the whole thing.  And then a cup of applesauce!  

Wish I had some funny things he said to report, but he's still not talking very much.  He's starting to repeat words, but mostly only says people's names (he's started saying "Grandma" and "Grandpa," though, to be fair, not necessarily in connection with said grandparents) and animal sounds. I will try to get a video of him making the chicken noise because he does the little arm movements too.   

We've been going to a gym class (Diaper Gym) for about a year, and he really loves it.  Here are a couple pics from a recent (ok, judging by the hearts, a not-so-recent) session... 

Gym class has been really good for him, though if I had to do it all over again I might not have started him quite so early.  He is just now really getting into climbing up ladders, walking across beams, etc.  He doesn't like to swing on the trapezes, but does like to flip on the bar.  Of course, I don't have pictures of any of that stuff, because I can't hold onto him and the camera at the same time!
