Robby's Half Birthday

I am shocked as I look back on the last six months! It honestly feels like it was only one! Robby is half a year old today! I am so thankful that God blessed us with our baby boy. He is such a joy . . . the most smiley baby I know, easy going, loves to be around people, and loves hair.
We recently let him try rice cereal--it is very entertaining--he attacks the spoon and then the cereal spills down his chubby little chin after he spits it out. He watches us very carefully when we are eating though and pounces on our food at any given chance. Last night he stuck his fingers right in Rob's ketchup.
Rob is thrilled with his little buddy and loves that he's so active already--he even had Robby standing up holding onto the couch the other day. Robby loves Megan . . . smiles when he hears her voice, squeals when she plays with him. It is so cool to watch them interact! But at this stage, nobody is quite like mommy. He cries if he can see me and I'm not holding him and lunges at me if I'm close enough.
Anyways, it's cool that we are seeing his little developing personality. I always call the first 6 months the period of perfection--although the correction needs are getting closer =(
I just pray that as Robby grows, we will continually point him towards Christ, that he can someday have his own relationship with God. What a blessing that God has promised wisdom to us, because there are days when I am really intimidated by the future. God knows what lies ahead though, and I just have to live each day to its fullest, and pray that I don't pass up those opportunities to share Christ with either of the kids.
So we were the typical parents that took like 5 times the pictures of Meg than we have of Robby, but here are a few of his development in the last six months.

Florida Bound

Well, tonight at 7:35pm we fly out of Minneapolis headed for Orlando, FL for a little mini-vacation. Tiff can't stop talking about the 80+ degree weather, but we just found out today that it's going to be scattered thundershowers the whole time we're there (Fri-Tue)! ouch! Oh well...it's still 30 degrees warmer than here and we'll enjoy every second.

We're going down for a wedding...Tiff's sister Trisha is getting married to a guy named Dan. Most of the Davis family will be there and it promises to be a really nice time to catch up with everyone.

God has been so good working things out for the trip...we got really cheap airfares right before they hiked with rising oil prices. Also, an old friend of my family, Jeni Searcy (now Griggs) lives in Orlando and her and her husband have graciously offered to put us up Friday night after we fly in. Then Tina, another of Tiff's sisters, offered to let us stay with them in Zephyrhills, FL near where the wedding is for the other three nights. amazing. we don't have to pay anything for hotel fare! PTL.

So, pray for us as we travel...me with my gimpy knee and us with two little ones...and pray that Tiff gets at least one day of nice weather. =P

Rob

Robby chuckles at Mommy's singing

The other day Robby was giggling his head off at the funniest things. Tiff started singing to him and for some odd reason he thought it was hilarious. =D She videoed it thankfully.
