Baby Rhyme Time

At the Cornish Library, just down the street from us, I signed Robin up for Baby Rhyme Time. A bunch of parents bring their babies, sit in a circle and sing songs. Afterwords, they bring out the toys and the babies swarm!


Was I the only guy? No! ... some of the babies were boys... Actually, there often was one or two other guys there with their babies. One of the man parents (I think they're called "Dads") was a folk/throat singer named Nathan Rogers. Maybe we'll see him at Folk Fest someday.

No, even though it's called BABY Rhyme Time, it's really the parents singing. To save myself and all of the rest of us parents the embarrassment of having their singing posted online, here is a clip of Robin playing with her friend Elliot, who happens to live just down the street from us (pardon the low quality, I took it on my cell phone. The sound doesn't work right now, and I'll try to fix it and repost later).

In the beginning, there was Robin

Last year on July 25, our little bundle of joy came into the world. We named her Robin.

(Cute huh?)

Life was totally changed at that moment. From that time on, I realized that it's all about Robin. It's amazing how much you're life changes, but I think Jen and I felt as ready a you can be for your first child.

(Robin, I was supposed to get a haircut the day you were born. This is NOT the hairstyle of the day)

Now that she's hit that special milestone of 7 months and 23 days, it's time she got her own blog. I hear kids nowadays are really good with computers.


So Robin, I hope that one day you can look back on this to see what happened in your life before you could remember. And when you're a teenager someday, and we get into an argument, you can look over all the things we did for you, and realize that we're right and you're wrong. Smile if you agree with daddy.


(That's what I thought.)

There will be more pictures, videos, commentary and everything else Robin related soon... whenever it's not nap time.


Feel free to follow along with Robin through life. See you soon.
