Growing Up

I don't know if it's the impending arrival of #2, or if this is just par for the course at this stage in toddlerhood, but I feel like my little guy is growing up so fast! We are truly delighting in every minute with Robert and can not comprehend that our joy will double come October!!

Our dear friend, "Miss Jada," took this picture of Robert in her son, Charlie's, bouncy seat. Fortunately, the makers of these seats knew better than to make something that could not withstand the weight of an older sibling.




I came home from Bible study the other morning to find this. Fortunately, he was content with wiping the shaving cream off with a cloth instead of insisting that he use a razor like Daddy.


We're heading to the beach next week and Robert has been hard at work trying to sculpt the perfect beach bod. This is actually another way that he loves to imitate Daddy -- they've become quite a productive work-out duo.


The other day Robert was talking about fire trucks incessantly so we decided to venture to a real fire station. In this pic he's pointing to the camera because he's learned that he can watch videos on it. I have a feeling that we are going to have a lot of pictures with this "finger pointing" in the near future.



While he doesn't look very happy in this one, he really was loving every second of it. I think he was in awe of all of the trucks and firemen and was just taking it all in. Have you ever seen a cuter fireman in your life???

Love it-- the boy wants to be just like his daddy!
FYI-- We've learned here that our firemen will come to your birthday party for FREE and do a demonstration/fire safety lesson if you schedule it ahead of time-- something to check into for November??
