Robin at 16 Months

Robin, oh Robin. At 16 months Robin is a dancing, singing, laughing, and eating machine. She spends her day indoors either by her sister’s side or in my arm’s, but plays well independently when we leave the house to go to the park, playdates, etc. Robin has an almost comical fear of airplanes and trucks (loud, unexpected noises) and actually climbs or jumps into my arms whenever she hears one. She loooves music and sings “la la la la la” throughout the day while dancing in circles.

There is something very special that attracts people’s attention to Robin wherever we go. People stop and make a point to tell us how adorable she is all the time – today we were eating lunch in the park by the Farmer’s Market and Robin was toddling around the groups of people on picnic blankets. The number of “oh my God that girl is so cute”(s) that we heard was more than we could count. She has an unusual ability to make people laugh and smile just by being herself.

Robin is saying new works all the time now, some of which are pronounced incorrectly of course but we know exactly what she’s saying. “Gook” is book while “gock” is park, and “da-ddy” refers to Bill while “dah-dee” refers to her paci, lol.

She has developed the *bad habit* of climbing the table to eat food scraps after meals and will often times eat her dinner and then finish all of Lilly’s. We love how her chubby cheeks and curls bounce when she toddles around the room. <3
