Easter

Robert had his first egg hunt. He liked it. He was just starting to walk, so it was tough to keep up with all the older kids. Daddy was nice enough to pick him up to get the egg that no one else was able to spot!

He was hanging out with Popo and was doing great but then looked at Booby (the guy in the overalls) and started crying. It took us a while to figure out that was what made him so upset. I felt sorry for my Popo, but it wasn't him.

He loves his Great Aunt Annette!

Robert had a Great first Easter!

Crawfish Festival 2011

Robert had his first festival!! We took him to the Spring Crawfish Festival! I had crawfish for the first time. I liked it, but a little barbarick. Robert did not try the cuisine (too spicy for his little taste buds. I am sure he would have tried it and eaten a few) We also went to the carnival. That was a little to much for him. Robert played a carni game. Surprise, he won a prize!

Kevin took him on a carousel ride. Look at the progression of the pictures. Robert is on the horse and then decided he DID NOT like it. It was going a little faster than the norm. Kevin said he was a little dizzy when he came off.

1. OK Dad I got this.. I've done this before 2. No way Dad this is way to fast!

3. Dad when is this over.

He danced to the zydeco music and walked all around. All in all he had fun!

It is too hot to play outside with out water

This a video of Robert playing with the water flower. He likes to play with it but like any normal person doesn't like the water "slapping" him in the face! It cracks me up the little shimmy he does!

We are still here...

I know that it has been a while since I have posted. It looked like Kevin was going to be right about me and this blog (refer to my first entry), but I was not going to let that happen. I also like sharing the pictures and video of the cutest and funniest kid in our house. We have been pretty busy. What has really been good is we got a new internet service. I can now be on my computer and you tube without hardly any hassles!! I may have not been able to keep up with the blog like I should but I have still been able to take pictures and video!!

Mother's Day I had to work :(

But I have an amazing husband; who even though he hates coming to the hospital and especially the children's hospital, brought Robert up there to have lunch with me! We ate my favorite sandwich (Jimmy Johns) and then played in the playroom at the hospital. It was so much fun. It was bitter sweet I loved that they came up there but I was so sad to see them go. It was even harder to get back to work.

He had so much fun we couldn't get him to stand still for a picture.
This is the gift that they made for me. These are the BEST "flowers" a mother could get!
I was cooking dinner in the kitchen and Robert got really quiet...I looked into the living room and this is what I saw. Robert was kickin' back watching Cars. That is the epitome of relaxation.

I heard this why you have children!! :)

Bitsy is such a Trooper

Kevin is always trying to catch Robert and Bitsy playing. I am not sure if this is what he sees but I thought this was funny. Poor thing she doesn't stand a chance now.

12 month check up

Robert had his 12 mo check up. Everything was great! Look at how much he has grown. I know we all know he is a big boy but I have actual numbers. When he came into this world he weighed 8.4 oz and 20 1/4 inches long; at 12 months he weighs 27.4 lbs and 31 inches long. Robert is 95% in weight and 90% for height. Kevin and I are proud and blessed to have such a healthy happy little boy!
