I can't help but notice some traits you describe with Robin that remind me of his paternal Grandfather. Part of the fun of being a parent is seeing how this all works through the generations. So here are few things I can tell you" 1. Michael didn't speak until age 2...he babbled and in a cadence that sounded just like conversation. But total babble not real words. Hey my brother Michael was the total brain in the family :) 2. I mentioned before that Mike cried when as young as Robin upon hearing the aria, Nessun Dorma. You should also know that classical music OFTEN moved him to tears. 3. Alternative locomotion is not uncommon on the Maginn side...for example I never crawled in the normal way, rather scooted on my butt like a crab. 4. Mike was a total gadget nut...the stories about him and any knob he could turn as a baby and toddler are legendary in our family. I have a cousin who is the same. 5. Finally Robin's eyes and other facial features...Robin is a beautiful baby. My brother Michael was one of the most gorgeous babies ever...so was my brother Chris. Robin's pictures remind my own father as a child . He has the "maginn eyes"...much like his great grandfather. Chrysoula.
