More Picture From Christmas

Hi! Just thought I'd share some more pictures from Christmas. Enjoy!

Here I am with a favorite gift from my Great Aunt Julie: both the cute outfit and the monkey. She spoils me rotten!

Here I am in my new rocking chair from Great Aunt Julie. Did I mention how much she spoils me?

The Grand Finale! Here I am with Santa Claus! He came to the beach just to see me!

Merry Christmas From the Sunny South!

Christmas wore me out!

I love my Nona's and Pop's house at Folly Beach!

Hi everyone!
We are still in Charleston and loving the warm weather. Enjoy these pictures of our trip. We miss all of you back at Nashotah and hope that you are having as blessed a Christmas as we are. We love y'all!

Even More Pictures!

Seriously Mommy, this is the ugliest coat you've ever put on me!

I can take a bottle, I just choose not to most of the time!

I can nap in my bed, I just choose to nap on Mommy most of the time!

Hey what's up! I'm just chillin' in my recliner.

More 4 months Pictures

Daddy was taking care of me on this night. He made himself a fancy dinner while I slept. Why can't it be that easy for Mommy?

Here I am skyping (webcam) with someone. I can't remember who because everyone in my family has a webcam. They love being able to watch me grow while I'm so far away.

We've been having lots of fun lately getting ready for our big trip South. We were going to drive with Robert and the dogs, but we've chickened out. Now, Rob will drive with the dogs, and Robert and I will fly. Rob just wanted to hurry up and get there, which would have been impossible with Robert. So, Robert and I have been busy Christmas shopping online, which has been awesome! When the presents come in, we just wrap them up and we're done. Robert has enjoyed watching me wrap the presents. He seems enthralled by the bright colors and ribbon. We've been attending Christmas parties. St. Nick came to Nashotah House and brought all the children presents. Robert got a cool V-tech car that lights up and sings. I had an Advent party for the Women of Nashotah House, which was fun because we did a gift exchange and a cookie exchange. We had Lessons and Carols and a nice reception this past Thursday. Robert pooped in church so loud that everyone on our side heard. Of course, I forgot the diaper bag, and we had to borrow a diaper. What a fiasco!

Anyway, thought you might enjoy these pics!

4 Months Old

Robert is cuter than ever these days. I know the pictures don't seem to show it, but he is a happy, smiley baby most of the time. For some reason, though, the smiles turn off when the camera turns on.

He had his four month-old checkup yesterday, and praise God, the boy's healthy and growing! He's now more than doubled his birth weight, weighing in at 19 lbs. 1 ounce. The doctor had to school me on how to keep Robert warm this winter: layers, layers, layers. This is all fine and well until it's time to change him. Hey, at least I'll have something to do since it's too snowy to go anywhere: laundry!

Robert has now rolled over both ways. He doesn't do it all the time, though, only on special occasions and never when he's expected to perform for someone. He's certainly developing his own personality, and showing off for others or the camera is not his thing.

He is playing with toys, mostly putting them in his mouth, but he seems to enjoy it. He is still a thumb-sucker and loves to hold something soft while sucking his thumb. It's pretty much the cutest thing he does! He seems to love bath time and has recently found his feet, but only in the bath. He's found his upper vocal range lately and makes this high pitch squeal just for the fun of it. It was cute for a while, but after his shots the other day he added it to his mad crying and it was horrendous! I thought they were going to kick us out of the doctor's office!

Anyway, thought you might enjoy a little update.
