Robert Nicholas Long, week 22

Robert went to Michigan (with mom) for the weekend. He was an excellent passenger for the entire 6-hour car ride.
Later that week, he also tried solid foods for the first time!

For some reason, things that are jiggled and moved slowly towards Robert's face are the most hilarious things ever.
Here Robert is enjoying a moment of pure comedy with Uncle Marc.


The synthesizer was also fairly fascinating.


Another picture with Marc. There are some pictures with Dad and Wendy, too but I think they're on Wendy's camera.


We also saw Robert's second cousin, Charlotte.
Robert's mom and Charlotte's dad Josh are first cousins, meaning they share a set of grandparents. I did some research: "removed" is used for people who ancestors but are not the same number of generations in descent from those ancestors. So Charlotte is Alexis' first cousin once removed.


At the lake where Dad and Wendy live.

This velcro and clip arrangement lets Robert take his pacifier in and out of his mouth without losing it. I think there's a patent in here somewhere.


Robert's first solid food! Really more of a tasteless rice gruel than a solid. Robert was unimpressed. He looks like he's going through every stage of grief before finally arriving at acceptance.
