This is Robert, no lie, 25 seconds after rolling down these very steps....Flop...Flop...Flop down he went. What a tough guy! :-) 

First Haircut!

Robert was such a good boy for his first haircut! He looks stunningly handsome and SO big now! Everyone at Snip-its just loved him. (above pic is a before' shot)

Robert at 42 weeks... looking very handsome and proud!

On Monday, Robert was 41 weeks old... On Tuesday, Grandmom was 2600 weeks!

Robert recieved an "A" in smiling at school. Here he is showing off in his school picture. 

Merry Christmas!
Robert is the best present of all!!!
Look what I got... Robert shares his new toy with his cousin Oliver.

Robert was so excited to tell Santa his Christmas wish list.  

Some cute recent pics... we got our Christmas Tree on Saturday and Robert enjoys watching the deer in our backyard.

Happy Turkey Day!  

Robert and Oliver are all ready for Turkey dinner! 

Robert is 34 weeks old! We are SO excited because Penn State is the champion of the BIG TEN and is #3 in college football. As a future alumnae, Robert was estatic about this accomplishment, and is so proud to be "lil Lion"
This week is also Thanksgiving week. We are so excited that Robert's cousin Oliver will be coming to Gram and Pape's for Turkey Day. It will be so much fun to see the boys interact with eachother! Look for pics this weekend!

Our sincerest apologies... we made so many of you wait to see these pics! We promise never to do that again. Robert is nearly 8 months old! He is pulling himself up on EVERYTHING and starting to cruise around holding on to things. He can even climb the steps to the third or fourth step. Santa my have to bring some push toys for him this year. Robert is also eating more and more table food and loving just about all of it. Oh, and his top teeth have just come through - 3 of them!

Robert's Stats

We went to see Dr. Novak on Monday for Robert's 6 month well-visit... even tho he is 7 months old. We will finally be back on track in early Janary when Robert has his 9 month visit.
Robert recieved 4 shots - one was his first dose of the flu shot. He will have his second dose next month. Anyway, here's the sccop:
Weight: 19 lbs 9 oz (75th percentile)
Height: 28.5 inches (80th percentile)
Head Circumfrence: 18 in (50th percentile)
Everything is perfect. Dr. Novak even said his lungs sounded better. (We've still been fighting the respiratory issues)

Happy Halloween! Robert was 31 weeks on Halloween! He was the custest elephant we ever saw (despite the food in his mouth. We had to bribe him to get a smile - it was a long night) 

Bye Bye San Diego

Our San Diego trip is over. We are heading home tomorrow. I really like this town. We had so much fun at Sea World, The San Diego Zoo and especially just hanging out with Kate. Kate and I have been friends for over 10 years... and we had sooo much fun reminiscing about our high school escapades. Everyone should have a friend like Kate - the kind of friend that you can always 'pick up right where you left off' and have fun no matter what. We also got to meet Kate's new friend Tim. Tim is super-nice, and I am glad he is Kate's friend. Robert agrees.
So, we don't know when we will see Kate again, but rumor has it that Bobby will be out here again next year for this very same conference. I've marked my calendar already - I can't wait! :)

This is Robert with Mommy's friend Kate at Sea World in San Diego. Robert is 30 weeks old today!
