The “Rota”

That’s what my friend B-Mama and I have fondly called one of the most disgusting virus’ to hit our world: Rotavirus. Two words: Yucky Stinky.

Robby just got over about a 14 day bout of Rotavirus. It’s a virus that has flu-like symptoms with a grand finale of a week long stench of the runniest, grossest poo you’ve ever smelled. And that’s not even the amount of detail that I could actually go into. 

He’s doing much better now. Fully hydrated, happy, back to his 18 pound self. (He was down to 17 at one point.) There was not a whole lot to do about the virus…..just keep him hydrated and stick it out. I am so glad my boy is back. He’s back to scooching, licking furniture, smiling, giggling and has his second front tooth now, too. The “Rota” has left the house.

Family Fun

He’s getting teeth. Well, one. He’s starting to move. About a foot, here and there, but still! He’s growing up. I wanted to capture our family before he got a full set of teeth…..here’s a recent photo shoot….3-of-us.jpgall-3-of-us.jpgmommy-and-robby.jpg 

Flying with a 9 month old

What fun! Seriously, Robby was a trooper. We just took a trip out to L.A. to see Rob’s sister and another dear family together for the week. The flight attendants said our flight had the most babies they  had ever seen on one trip. Just dandy. Robby did well, and I now have baby-flying tricks up my sleeve. I’ll share if you want them.It was so good for my soul to have sunshine and 70 degree weather. But then in true fashion, Columbus welcomed us back from our flight to the blizzard of ‘08. We got snowed in with Rob’s other sister and bro-in-law and had fun with all the cousins. Here’s a little taste of our trip. surprised-robby.jpg  Robby having fun on a recent family photo shoot….cousins.jpgCousin time….robby-and-daddy.jpg My two handsome men….
