This blog is not about Jackie Robinson.
I let the time slip away again, between posts. It was very easy.
I’ll dig up some previously unseen, and worth-another-see pics. I’m always posting low-quality, unedited pictures on facebook, and I wanted to change things up. So even though I didn’t take most/any of these, they will be more in my style: too green with the contrast too high. You’re welcome.
The last time I posted was before Easter, so let me start with my San Diego trip. Robin and I flew to Southern California a few days after Easter so that we could meet little David for the first time! I was so excited that Betsy, children, and Nick were going to be there too. Sibling power! (Robert is a given because he lives in S.D.)
My nephew David is so round and sweet! Like a little watermelon. Or a grape.
Sidenote: when we used to play Anne of Green Gables, Emmy was always Anne and I was Diana, because her hair color was closer to red, and mine was closer to black. Obviously neither are either, but you work with what you have.
It was so nice to see my family! We wanted lots of cute cousin pics but the subjects were always wriggly and mostly uncooperative.
While we were gone, Robin’s crib came in the mail from her Chayrez grandparents, and Aurelio put it together so it was ready when we got home. I really love it!
Here are some more angles of her room!
A pic with her Dad:
And Mum:
Despite the fact that I’m an unmotivated underachiever, I started to worry slightly at Robin’s lack of developmental progress. However, she finally started sitting up on her own, and in a few short weeks, has become a pro.
It’s time for some video proof!
I love the goofy ghetto dancing she starts doing in the middle of the video
Unfortunately, she has been slightly rashy for a while, growing ever rashier, and things came to a red and bumpy climax this past week. We cut out all solids (AGAIN) and of course it went away in a few days. Now we hope to responsibly reintroduce foods so we can tell what’s causing the reaction. You know, the way you’re supposed to do it? Today we gave her some cottage cheese and she seemed to do ok. I have really set myself up for stressful failure here by delaying solids, since I’m running out of milk and she’s allergic to everything in the world. She’s going to waste away!
Starting with her legs.
I think that’s all the info and media updates I’ve been wanting to share, in no particular order, really.
Signing off!

Since it starts with her legs, you have a long time before you have to worry. Chub-chub! I hope you can isolate the culprit food soon however. David is so huge compared to that little grape.
Lots of great pictures!
Yes, hopefully she has a lot of fat stores. 😦 I’d hate to see her chub-chub go, though. Now he’s probably more like a watermelon?
I’m sure it won’t come to that! Although she has to thin out eventually. Once she starts walking?
I have crib envy.
I have milk supply envy!
Christie looks like she’s trying to squish Robin in the swing! I didn’t know you and Emmy played Anne of Green Gables. I love Robin’s room! The paint color is nice – it’s not apartment-white!
It was nice of me to be Anne!
She does look like she’s trying to squish her! I thought that was funny. I think we were playing AoGG ironically. 🙂 We made fun of the characters all the time. Thanks! I like her room too!
Like, Blogzillasville … such great photos and cute commentary! As I was telling the mom only today, all the kids are such good writers (and photographers) it blows me away. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Dad! Although I can’t take much credit for the photography, since they were mostly from Betsy’s camera. I was wishing I had more photos of you(r floating head) from the trip. You should start a blog named Blogzillasville!
The pics are awesome! I feel like I was there! 🙂
Wish you were! 😦
Just occurred to me, the floating dad head picture is perfect for Halloween. Glad I could help! 🙂
Haha, thanks, Dad!
David loves watching this video on my phone. He has just started bouncing like this yesterday.
Aw, cute!
