6 Months

Robert celebrated his half birthday earlier this week.  I seriously can't believe it!!  My little man is growing up way to fast.  I didn't really believe it when people said, 'They grow-up fast.  Enjoy these times.'  In the past six months, Robert has changed soooo much.  He has lost a lot of hair, lighter hair has grown back in, doubled his weight, grew 5 inches, sits up unassisted, smiles not because of gas, and coos at his mommy and daddy, just to name a few of these changes.

This past month didn't plan to be busy, but some how ended up being busy.  Robert's Great Grandpa Petersen passed away so the three of us went back to Indiana to help my mom clean out his house and get it ready to be sold.  We were there for a week.  This trip was Robert's 4 flight, and once again he did great!  Even on the return trip when he had his first cold, and it was delayed 4 hours.  Robert managed to sleep most of the delay and the entire flight!

Robert is getting close to crawling.  He scoots backwards, turns himself in circles, rolls from front to back and back to front, attempts to pull his knees under him, but he still doesn't have his belly completely off the ground just yet.  Music, books, eating, and bath time are still his favorite!  I feel so blessed to wake up every morning to his smiling face.  My little man loves life and people so much!!

Check out how much Robert has changed since 1 month old.

I can't wait to see what the next six months brings.

"What Mom?"

"Are we done yet?"

Bear thought he needed his picture taken too.

Look how BIG he is getting!!  

Robert - 

We love you very much and feel so blessed to have you as our son!  The past six months have been a blast.  We love listening to you laugh, watching you learn new things, and seeing you light up when we come in the room because you recognize us.  You are amazing & our little snuggle puppy!!

 Love- Mommy & Daddy
