Bobby has an announcement

Bobby is proud to announce he is going to be a big brother! Baby Artie #2 should arrive around January 24, 2012.

Bobby and his girlfriend Nora

Bobby: Mom you need to let Aunt Morgan put me to sleep so I can be ready to see Nora tomorrow!
Bobby: Close your eyes while I pick out the toy we are going to play with!
Nora: Can I open my eyes yet?

Bobby: Not yet

Bobby: Hmm should I show her my favorite stuffed animal, noise maker or rings?

Nora: Pick the rings, pick the rings

Bobby: Okay Nora if we meet in the middle you have to give me a kiss!Nora: MOM is he serious?

Bobby: Chill out Nora I am only kidding we are both under 1 year of age we have to wait until we are 2 years old to have our first kiss.

Do we have a class clown on our hands?

Bobby playing with his food!

Bobby is 7 months old!

Bobby Angel is 7 months old!!! We just can not believe how much our lives have changed, for the better with our sweet boy.

Bobby and daddy on Easter Sunday. We had so much fun watching all the cousins run around the yard trying to find eggs and candy. In only a couple more years Bobby will be joining in on all the fun!

Here is the Bobsters with his "middle brother", Oliver. Bobby loves it when the dogs lick his feet and hands. When he is finished eating his breakfast and dinner he holds his hands over his highchair and reaches for the dogs so they will lick his hands clean. Don't worry, I do wash his hands after.

Bobby and Nana with his new helmet. He has a mildly flat head and the helmet will help round it out in just a few months. He doesn't seem to mind it too much, his mom on the other hand can not stand it. I can no longer kiss his sweet little head while I hold him or his round little cheeks. But I guess it is something we should do. Lets just say I make up for those kisses when his helmet is off for a couple hours a day! Isn't he just so sweet!?

Bobby is doing so much over the past few months. He is so strong that he just pulls himself right up so can see what is going on in the room. I think he really thinks he is king of the world when he stands up because the smile on his face just makes you melt!

Bobby and mommy playing before bedtime. Bobby is trying so hard to figure out how to clap his hands.
I am determined to keep everyone updated from here on out on a monthly basis or less.

Bobby is 5 months old!

I was going to start from 3 months and catch everyone up to date on what is new with Bobby. Then I decided that will take too long and I will probably never do that so now I am going to just start at 5 months. Sorry! To catch you up a little bit though... since February 15 Bobby has had a bad cold/respiratory infection. He has not really been sleeping well, getting up every 2-3 hrs at night, he also has not been eating very well. A couple days ago we went to the doctor for about the 10th time in the past 2 months and found out he has a double ear infection (this is his 4 and 5 ear infection) along with RSV. Now don't freak out, he is not in the hospital. RSV is a respiratory virus that if untreated or undetected can lead to dehydration and hospitalization. Bobby is fine, well as fine as he can be I guess. He is now receiving breathing treatments at home every 4-6 hrs and sleeping 5-7 hrs at night!!! It is amazing how great a baby can feel and sleep when he can finally breath!

I will update with more pictures this weekend!

Love you all

Bobby is 3 months old

Here is Bobby with his two doggies.. Oliver and Chuck. His shirt reads, "cuter than the dog". Of course he is!

We truly can not believe how quickly Bobby has grown up! Why can't some of the things our parents told us when we were younger not be true? I will say, we have loved every second with our sweet little boy. Just watching him smile, giggle, blow bubbles, roll over, reach for things, kick his legs, talk, yell and cry has been so much fun. The smallest things seem so amazing to us. Today he was really trying to reach for one of his toys, he was so determined to hit it that took about 3 minutes. Finally he reached it and started smiling so big ! Why can't life as an adult be this way?

Yesterday we went to see our good friend, Melissa and Chris Clarkson at the hospital. They had an adorable little girl, Nora Jewel Friday night. We joke that she and Bobby are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend... if that doesn't work out though they will be best friends. Nora weighs 7lbs 15oz, so 10oz more than Bobby weighed when he was born and I just can't believe bobby was ever that small or smaller. When we got to the hospital I just could not stop looking back and forth at this tiny little girl in my arms and the big boy bouncing on daddy's lap. It took all of my strength not to start tearing up, of course at how precious little Clarkson girl is but also that Bobby is so big now. I will post a picture of Melissa and I holding our little/big sweet bundles soon.

Now for the pictures... Here is Bobby at bath time. He just loves getting undressed and carried around naked, but when we put him in the bath his eyes just light up at the touch of the warm water on his skin. He is not yet smiling and giggling in the bath but he is concentrating on kicking his legs and splashing the water with his arms every once in a while.

GO TIGERS!

Thank you to all of you that got Bobby a Missouri Tigers shirt. He wears them for every game day and I think so far it has brought them good luck! Go Tigers!
