4 months!!!

Today was Robert's 4 month birthday! He had his check up where he was weighed, measured, and shot up:( He had a pretty big day. He rolled over from tummy to back Both directions and Mommy actually got it on tape. Unfortunately it is very shaky. He was given the OK to start on solids. The Dr. said he liked Robert because he is big and healthy! Robert is 18lbs and 11oz ( 95 percentile) 251/4 inches long (75 percentile). WOW what a growing boy!! You can really see that when you look at his turkey legs.

Katie's birthday

July 31 we celebrated Katie's 5th birthday with the family. It was Robert's first party and outing to the pool. He had a lot of fun! He likes his cousin Katie almost as much as she loves him. She makes him laugh. He is still getting used to her and her love! He was so cute in his little bathing suit!

Raising Robert

So I wanted to start a blog, mainly because my wonderful sister-in-law does it. It is a great way to keep people in touch with our family with out the time involved. I have quickly realized how much time I DON'T have.

The first three months of Robert's life was rough on Mommy and Daddy to say the least; but have since gotten much better. Three months was the turning point like everyone said!

Robert is now 3 and half months old!! Kevin and I weighed him on our scale and the chunkster is 19 lbs. WOW!! Boy has he grown. We were looking back at the pictures of when we brought him home and that first week. He was so small:( I know that we will have the rest of our lives of looking back and saying that same phrase and the very popular "he is growing so fast". I am enjoying it. He is sitting in his Bumbo chair. That is a chair that holds him up as long as he can support his own head. Which surprisingly is a task when you have to concentrate on doing that and trying to think about your hands and trying to get then to do what you want. He also has rolled from belly to back a handful of times. He does it more for Daddy than for Mommy. I better get used to that. Robert is already starting to try to stick things in his mouth. When he can get it TO his mouth! He likes playing on his play mat and sitting in Mommy's lab and talking to me!! That is great! It is like he trying to tell me things. He really goes to town talking on his changing table. This is when he is finding his voice, he lets out the cutest yells.

As far as this blog goes, I will try my best to keep it up to date. My husband seems to think that it will be like other things and will go to the wayside when I get to busy. Hopefully I will not let that ring true. So I hope that all my family and friends enjoy reading about Kevin and I "Raising Robert".
