Robert - 19 months old

Read my shirt!!!!

I found a friend when we ate with Daddy last Friday at lunch time. On Fridays all kids get a free lunch! I got peanut butter and jelly, pudding, fruit, and juice in my own little lunch box!

When Mama pulls out the camera to take a picture and asks me to smile, I make this face!

Over and out

I awoke a few times last night which was really unusual since I've been sleeping through the night for a while. Mama awoke to comfort me the first 2 times and then sent in Daddy on the third try. Daddy made sure I was OK and then left me in my crib to lie down and return to sleep. I wasn't very happy about it; I managed to get out of my crib (it's a secret - Mama has no clue how I did it) and walk to Mama's room. Needless to say, I pulled off the stunt with flying colors because I got to spend the rest of the night in Mama and Daddy's bed. They were too afraid to put me back into the crib! We spent most of today going around to stores to find a toddler bed for me. We got a really nice one at Babies R Us - of course using a coupon. I'll try to send pictures soon.

Also, I'm really into multi-tasking. I like both Mama and Daddy to read different books to me at the same time. I can keep track of both stories really well. Mama says I get the multi-tasking from her side of the family.

I had a doctor's appointment last Monday. I got 2 shots. I weigh 24.5 lbs and I'm in the 90th + pecentile for height. Now I'm in the 25-50% for my head size and weight. I knew the shots were coming this time. I got pretty hysterical when they squished me onto the table and held down my arms and legs. I'm old enough to realize why I have to go to the doctor. Fortunately, I didn't have any reactions and I was as good as new right after it was done.

I like to hang out with two twin boys at the pool. There is also a little girl who is kind of nice. We swap toys since I like the ones they bring and they like the ones I bring. Mama and Daddy bought me a water toy that shoots out water. They like to play with it as much as I do.

I am really good at walking/running. When Mama goes on a walk, I like to walk right along side her. I take some toys to show the dogs when we pass them on the sidewalk. Sometimes the owners let me hold the leash. I like to kiss the dogs and flowers. I know not to pick the flowers but just to smell them.

I am really interested in the toilet now. Unfortunately, I've gotten in trouble for putting some things in the toilet that don't go in there. Mama and Daddy keep all the bathroom doors shut now. I have my own toilet seat and Mama tries to make me sit on it, although I'm not sure what to do on it yet. Sometimes I get in trouble for going #1 on the floor as I'm waiting to get on the seat.

We found plane tickets to see Papa and Nanny in August. I'm excited to see them since it has been a long time. I thought they were permanently stuck in the Skype camera on my computer, but Mama explained that it's just like a telephone.

July 4th Fun!

We had a great weekend! I watched a parade Saturday morning and then saw some firecrackers at Linszes' house Sunday evening. We had dinner with Linszes and Bob and Carol's family. Mom brought a fruit salad and I watched her cut the melons. I wet my pants when the firecrackers started!

Emily and me

Aunt Jen's niece, Emily, came over to play when I was in New York. She was fun!
