Christmas 2009

This Christmas we were blessed to have Ness and Carlos visit us. We had a great time and the boys were spoiled! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and miss you!

Jonathan: 6 months old

We can't believe that Jonathan is 6 months old! Time truly goes bye too fast! He has brought so much joy and love into our lives and we are blessed with two great boys!

Here are his accomplishments thus far:
sits up (as of 5 months old)
eats: rice cereal, bananas, avocado, prunes, and sweet potatoes
smiles and laughs
loves to watch everything Robby is doing
cries every time I leave the room
almost sleeps through the night
loves bath time and splashes in the water
loves to go on walks outside
picks up toys with both hands
is always sucking on his fingers
loves to drool

Here are some recent pictures, and some from the past so you can see how much he has grown. (I don't have any recent height and weight stats until his next doctor appointment on 11.12.09...stay tuned!)

Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch

We visited Linder Farms with our friends last week and picked out a pumpkin. This was Robby's first trip to a pumpkin patch where he was able to pick out his own punkin (Previous years he was too young to understand what was going on!)
I didn't think he would pick out his own, so I decided to pick a small one for him. The one I found had dirt on it, as most pumpkins do. But Robby would not touch it or hold it. To my surprise he wondered through the patch and found his very own little, perfect punkin which didnt have any dirt! Once he found the right one, he carried it all day long. He even wanted to nap with it, but I was able to talk him into letting it sit on his dresser right next to his bed.
We were also able to go on a tractor ride and visit some animals at the farm. It was a fun day!

This past week Christie and Drew visited us! Robby and Drew had a great time playing with each other! It was a very busy and FUN week! We thank you for the fun memories and miss you both very much!

Haircuts and food

Robby got a new hair cut...in the 'before' pictures you can see how long it got over the summer. We try to push out the haircuts as long as possible because Robby likes to put up a big fight! Lots and lots of tears are involved! This time we cut it very short....he looks so much older!

Jonathan is now 4 1/2 months old. We started him on solids last week. But I decided to pull him off because he was waking up almost every hour at night and seemed really uncomfortable. So we will try solids again in a couple weeks.
