Growing Up (Way Too Fast!)

I've taken a little blog hiatus as of late, so I thought that I'd catch you up on some of what we've been doing these past few weeks. 9 1/2 months is such a fun age and it just seems to get better and better with each passing day!

I could not believe my eyes the other day when Robert picked up our home phone and put it up to his ear! This is probably just the beginning I'm afraid. He'll likely draw a cell phone attached to my ear when his kindergarten teacher asks him to draw a picture of his mommy.

My cousin, Eli, came to stay with us for a while when New Orleans was evacuated due to Gustav. We loved having Eli stay with us and Robert adored her! We miss you, Eli!

Yep, nothing gets by this kid. He is into EVERYTHING!! I should have stopped him because I was trying to clean the bathroom for guests who were coming into town that night, but it was too cute, so I let him unroll to the end.

Here's a shot of Robert with his friend, Charlie. The boys look like they were separated at birth! These two sure can turn some heads.

Too cute. This is one of those moments when I was so thankful the camera was close by. John Randall, one of my son's heroes, and Robert get to play together a lot. Today John Randall decided to help Robert finish his snack. What a doll! I've decided to hire him to "feed Robert" so that I can get some work done around the house while he's eating.

This was an unsuccessful attempt to catch some ducks. It was a valiant effort though.

Here he is out in the sun, which is where we'll be spending a lot of our time now that it's beautiful and somewhat cool outside!
