Robert's Birthday Week

Robert's reaction when I wheeled out his Cozy Coup filled with presents!

Our little one year-old Baby Robert has had quite a week so far. He had a "presents" birthday party on Tues., and he's having his "cake" birthday party on Sat. He's been quite spoiled with lots of presents, including a huge balloon bouquet sent by Aunt Julie and a Cozy Coup Car from MaBop and PaBop. It's been such a fun week so far. Oh, and he's such a walker, now. I finally got it on video (with Rob's help), so check it out under Our Videos to the left. All he wants to do now is to go outside and walk up and down the sidewalk. He looks like a little Frankenstein! I know that's probably mean to say, but it's true. He puts his arms either out in front or out to the side for balance and takes big steps. It's so cute! Enjoy the video!

Less Than 24 Hours!

Mommy and I had fun at Nashotah Lake this weekend. I ate rocks.

I crawled straight into the chilly water all by myself and kept crawling until I didn't reach anymore and Mommy pulled me up because she didn't want me to drown! I wasn't the least big scared--I did it again and again!

Mommy finally made me get out and get bundled up because I was shivering and my lips were blue. Man, these Wisconsin lakes are chilly!

I can't believe I'll have a one year-old in less than 24 hours! Not a minute goes by today that I don't think about what I was doing this time last year. I hope I never forget that glorious moment when I held Robert for the first time. I was just telling a friend that I can still see that little infant in Robert's toddler face and that even when he's a teenager I hope I'll still be able to see it. The Lord surely gives us more that we could ask or imagine! I am infinitely blessed!

Let the Countdown Begin!

I crawled up here by myself (and then I fell).

I snuck out onto the back porch.

I went berry picking!

My first pizza! Mommy made Grandpa Tom's crust and put lots of yummy veggies and Italian sausage on it. YUMMMMMY!

I'll wear the hat how I want, thank you very much!

I love balls!

Climb in, climb out, climb in, climb out...

Gotta have on a "do-rag" if you're gonna ride a "hog"!

4 generations!

Happy 4th of July! Great parade!

Wow! What a summer we're having. Sorry for not posting for such a long time. Robert and I had a great two week visit in Atlanta. Now we're back at Nashotah counting down for the big day--July 28--when Robert turns 1! We're having a party on Aug. 1 with 2 of the 4 other Nashotah babies all turning one (2 are gone for the summer). It's gonna be a blast!

In other Robert news, he's started to take a few steps here and there. I've tried to get it on video, but no such luck, yet. I'll post it when I can get him to cooperate.

Lately I've been working frantically to finish a photo book of Robert's first year on Shutterfly.com. I'll post a link to it when it's finished. It's turning out great, and I can't wait to show it off!

Hope everyone is well. We send our love!
