Liam the comedian, Torr the quiet Giant and other great stories!

So young Torr is now 2 months old and is getting cuter and cuter everyday. He nows weighs a healthy 13 lbs 3 oz which puts him, according to the public health nurse, in the 92 nd percentile for weight. Matt keeps blaming his weight gain on the "Creem-o" I apparently produce. haha He got his immunizations the other day and had the same reaction as Liam which was a 2 second cry and then fell asleep. Maybe these boys see pain as therapeutic and soothing? Who knows?


Torr apparently grows bubble beards in the bath tub too. Robertson male trait I guess.

Lucky for me my dad has been visiting for the last week and a half. He has given me a lot time to myself as he has single handedly taken care of the boys. He even sends me to the gym every morning!! I love my dad!!! Liam is loving having Kung Kung here to play cars and trucks with everyday!! And of course I definitely see a bond between my dad and Torr since Torr will automatically look at dad as he hears his voice and simply gives me the "come on woman just feed me" act.

It seems that as Liam gets older into his 2's he seems to be getting funnier and funnier each day. I am trying to figure out who gave him these personality traits...Matt? no. Me? no way. Will Ferrell? pretty much a yes!

Liam is a Pete Repeat these days copying anything you say, anything he hears on the radio and anything you do he wants to do it to.

Example 1: Matt brought the harmonica done from the shelf and of course Liam wants to play it/slobber into it. The weird thing is it sounds good, bizarre, and he keeps calling it the Hanukkah which makes me laugh as the sentence is "Dad where's Hanukkah?" at which point Matt goes into a lengthy explaination about the Jewish holiday. Yep the everyday conversations in the Robertson household. However, the harmonica saga continues as we joined Matt's collegue Ken H. and his family a few weekends ago and Ken's two kids are excellent musicians so Liam found Sam's "Hanukkah" and proceeded to play it and Sam helped out with the piano accompliment. It was a pretty awesome sight to see.

Liam's first harmonica recital

Example 2: Some days while driving and listening to hip hop in the car I catch Liam singing the last word of each line in a song (lalala day, lalalala play, etc.). So in Sean Kingston's song Beautiful Girl there is a line where he says something to effect of 'you have me suicidal' which I obviously don't want Liam singing out the words about being suicidal however I could hear him singing that part only to realize he thought the lyrics were saying "shoes and sandals". It makes the song sound way better that way anyways thinking he's singing about sneakers and flip flops. :)

Any requests? I'm hear for another 5 minutes.

Hope that updates you for a another few weeks!

Later,

Mo, Matt, Liam and Torr

Another crazy Halloween!

I know the past two Halloweens Liam has had some pretty awesome costumes (Pillsbury Doughboy and then the Dalai Lama)...however I'll be honest I slacked this year buying both boys their costumes...yikes thought I could sew at least Torr's no such luck I"d rather sleep a little more then try to sew during nap time.
Nonetheless the boys had a great time on Halloween night. We went trick or treating with our neighbours and Samantha really showed Liam the ropes of going door to door for candy. Too bad he thinks you can trick or treat everyday now. :)

Hangin' out with Scooby Doo/Sam.

Liam and his BFF Codie


hmmm guess who I am...

We also had an overnight visit from my friends, Sarah and Lyndi, as they were on route back to Edmonton. Liam had a hard time distinguishing Sarah from Lyndi but really all that mattered to him was that they played cars with him. haha


Lyndi and Torr

Torr is getting bigger everyday he has his two month appointment this Thursday so I"ll update the blog then and let you know what this big eater now weighs.


Sarah and Lyndi loving the Torr
Until then...
