Rob and I have been going on walks and playing outside so much! We are both loving it! It may be time to move to a warmer state! Every time we go inside he cries because he wants to stay out!

 When I take him on walks in his wagon he wont sit on the seat! He likes to sit on the floor and play with the cup holders.

I was so excited I got to put sandals on Rob this last week. 

Rob dances all the time when music comes on. So in between his shows there was a song from the fresh beat band (whoever they are) but I love how he shakes his butt! :) And yes I know he falls in the video and I don't say anything! When he does have little falls and I tell him he is ok or I just smile at him he keeps playing like nothing happened. You can see him turn and look and me to check and see if it's ok! :)

Enjoying the warmer weather!

                                          Rob got a new toy Lawn mower from Auntie Erin for
                                                       his birthday that makes bubbles!

                                            He does not like to push it on the grass though! :)
                                              Just around the house and on the driveway!

                          He also found the only dirt mound in the yard and decided to crawl around on it!

                                          We got Rob his own tooth brush and tooth paste.
                                       He loves to watch us brush our teeth so we decided he
                                                       could brush his own now! :)

                                                He loved that he got to brush his teeth! :)

                                                      We went to the zoo on thrusday!

                                  This little man wanted to do everything on his own and walk around!
                                  He wouldn't even let me hold his hand because he can do it on his own!

                            He just walks up and hangs out with the other kids to look at the animals! :)
                                             We only know the little boy in this picture with Rob!

                                                                 Trying to run away!

Rob loved the giraffes. We were able to get so close to them and he was very excited to see them!

He also enjoyed the ape house because there are little monkeys that swing around over your head and get really close.

                                    I am so glad we got to spend the day at the zoo! It was so nice
                                                   outside and we had so much fun!

                                 Wade put together Robs new wagon he got for his birthday,
                                       we pulled him around the yard in it today!
                                        Uncle Dave came over and brought all his dogs!

                        Today was a very eventful day! Rob fell and hit his head on the sidewalk and had a pebble stuck in his forehead!
                               We tried to walk around the yard today but the ground is not very flat so he fell quite a bit.
                                 I did not get a picture of it but when we turned our back for
                                             2 seconds Rob found a pile of dirt...and ate it! :)
                                               He must of thought it was crushed up oreos!
                          Then when we came inside for dinner he tripped over one of the
                                                      dogs and hit his head on the wall.
                            Then he decided to climb the stairs and before we could get to
                                                    him he fell down three steps!
                                     To sum it all up he showed us today that he is all boy! :)

Robs 1st birthday party!!

We did a baseball themed party for Robs birthday party. Our friend Rachel from church made the cake and cupcakes.

I surprised wade by having her add stuff about the minnesota twins!

I didn't do many decorations but I had the perfect picture of when Rob was first born! We still can't believe he fit in the glove on the table! :)

Wade wanted to give him one of his gifts early.

He was SO excited about the ball! :) I stop every time we go to target or walmart and he plays with the big bin of them!

I tried to attempt to take some pictures of rob before the party but he was ready for a nap! :)

Thankfully wade is good at making him laugh! :)

We brought out his gift to put around the table and he started opening it so we had to hide it again!

He was so excited about all the presents coming to the house! :)

The first was a big box full of plastic bags from uncle chris and aunt laura! :) He loved it!

Uncle billy and Angela got him lots of toys for the beach this summer! 

Great grandpa and grandma pape got Rob a card that played the happy birthday song! He kept opening it and dancing! :)

He LOVED everyone singing happy birthday to him! He kept looking around the room smiling and didn't even notice his cake!!

He loves frosting! :)

We decided to give him a cupcake without frosting because he ate so much already!

This is what he did to it! :)

Great Grandpa Apato came!

We couldn't get him to sit with Great Grandpa and grandma pape! :)

This is the best family picture we could get! Too many other distractions! :)

I forgot to take pictures of everything we had! But we had hotdogs and nachos like you would get at the ball park! I found these cute wrappers at hobby lobby!

Rob got this book from our friends.

It was a book made for him!

I'm not sure if you can read what the first page says but it reads "Rob went to the Matteson train station to see the big circus train that was coming to town. Olivia, Gabriel, and Peyton went along too."

The book is so cute and his name is through out the whole book. He gets excited when we read it to him and he hears his name! :)
