From Brian: Robert was getting quite tired before he and I had to leave the house to meet a couple of friends for lunch. Robert nearly drifted off several times during the drive to the restaurant, but I managed to distract him/keep him awake.
After lunch, we piled into the car, but he surprised me by staying awake (though drowsy) until we arrived at home. We remained in the car for a couple of minutes in the garage until I was certain that he would stay asleep. Then I lifted him upstairs while he slept. I removed his shoes and placed him in bed.

I unzipped his jacket and pulled his arms through the sleeves, but for expedience I left his jacket under him. Notice in the photo that he slept on his jacket.

He slept for 2 1/2 hours, and nice long nap for him!

From Brian: (We didn’t take photos today, so I’m relying upon stock photos.) For the past few weeks, he’s been napping 1 1/2 – 2 hours in the middle of each day. It’s been great!

Sometimes he begins the nap by falling asleep in a parent’s arms and they we move him to the bed.
Today, however, the whole family napped after returning from a very fun lunch with Yeah-Yeah, Ngen-Ngen, Bok-Bok, Arlene Goo-Goo, Uncle James, and Christopher Ga-Ga. Robert actually fell asleep in the car on the way home and looked so cute and peaceful! I lifted him out of the car and he hardly stirred. I removed his shoes and gently lowered him onto the bed. He was so cute and peaceful!

Family naps are very rare, and the parents were very happy that we could accomplish this. Robert and Mommy napped for two hours (and daddy napped for about 3 1/2 hours)!

From Brian: Today we are going to Yeah-Yeah and Ngen-Ngen’s for lunch. It’s so great that he can feed himself now (and cute too!). Here are some photos from a recent visit.

On Friday, Grandma Carol and Granddad stayed home with Robert while Mommy and Daddy saw Wicked! On Saturday, we all went to Yerba Buena Gardens for a kid-friendly Halloween event.
You would not believe the large number of people that wanted to take his photo!

By the way, the best costume theme that we saw was a little girl dressed as a bumblebee with her parents dressed as beekeepers! (Sorry, no photo.) Here are photos of the penguin unmasked:
