Last week we went to Oregon on vacation – partly to visit family and partly to avoid the virtual certainty of a nervous breakdown if I had to spend another week working.

We got to go to the beach one day and Robbie got his first taste of dipping his toes in the ocean, eating Marionberry ice cream and … sandruff.

In, all I think he had a good time (except perhaps when we were pouring bottled water of his feet and butt in a pathetic attempt to wash away some of the sand)

Is he an Old Navy model? Or is his mother just spending way too much time working?

He almost looks like a little boy in his “big boy” clothes. The shorts Grummy Kathy bought him are a perfect match with his little orange polo shirt.

Today I had a few moments to try to take some pictures of Robbie so I moved fast and grabbed a sheet out of the dryer, tossed aside his diaper (at my own risk) and plopped him down on my photo table for a few snap shots. Of course, no little session would be complete without at least one hilarious expression.
I call this one “You want me to do what?!”

This little boy has been a drool factory for over a month now. It started with the appearance of his first two teeth under the surface of his gums (they look like tiny white dashes) but it just keeps on going and the teeth never break through. He doesn’t seem too bothered by it, but he goes through four outfits a day – and that’s not counting changes caused by diaper issues.
