Rob picked out a few things at the grocery store that he really wanted.

We had a baby shower for Laura Friday night. So here are some pictures of the decorations I did.

Rachel made such a cute cake!

I made what felt like a billion cake pops! :) We did these for the favors for everyone to take home.

Rob had so much fun!

Just a video today!

I don't know why Rob thought this was so funny. He just laughed every time I threw a ring in the air! :) Sorry for how much I move it around! It is hard to take a video and toss rings in the air at the same time! :)

 Last week Rob and I took grandpa grocery shopping with us. He had so much fun because this is how grandpa pushed him through the store and the parking lot! :)

 30 seconds after getting him in his car seat before we left the parking lot he was out! :)

 Last week I tried to let Rob cry himself to sleep during his nap...this is how he fell asleep...for 10 minutes!

 We did a garage sale at Uncle Chris and Aunt Laura's house on Friday and Saturday. Rob had a little bit of a runny nose so I wanted to keep him bundled up. I think this hat was a little too warm for that day even though he looked so cute in it! :)

 So we went with a lighter weight one!

 Grandma was in Texas all last week for work and then visiting with her sister. She brought back a cute new pair of PJ's for Rob!

 This is how Rob holds his toy! :) It rolls away from him. When you move the monkey it makes noise so when it stops he just hits it again!

We ended our fun on Saturday at the garage sale. That is when I noticed I didn't feel too well! Wade has been doing SO much!!! I have such an amazing husband!! Since Sunday wade has taken care of Rob and I. I have been running a fever so I have been staying away from Rob. My amazing husband has been going to work, getting home and playing with Rob, making dinner, cleaning, doing laundry, and taking care of me! When I try to do something he won't let me! I am very blessed to have such an amazing husband!!!

More phone pictures!

When the weather was warmer Rob would sit in the grass while we did yard work. He Loves to pull it out and look at it in his hands! :)

He loves chewing on apples. He gets apples (pureed of course) every morning for breakfast.

Starting early driving the car!

 I was in nursery one night and Ana took Robs pacifier. He couldn't get it back.

 So he gave up! :) They are about 2 1/2 months apart in age and Rob just stares at her when we are by her!!

 Rob doesn't really use his pacifier how he is supposed to anymore!

 This is also the new way he holds it! I guess it keeps him from dropping it!

 We went and tried on Halloween costumes at carters. I didn't decide on any one that we really liked but he did look cute in some of them! :)

 Since Rob goes backwards now he is always getting stuck under the couch! :) He thinks it is funny!

 Oh auntie Lyssa what are you doing to me!! :)

 Rob is starting to pull himself up on stuff.

Thankfully he is easily amused by things and I can just give him a bowl and spoon while I am cleaning the kitchen or cooking something! :) We had to move the swing because he was slamming into the door frame! :) So he can't sit in it anymore while I am in the kitchen! Maybe when he clams down some we can move it back! :)

Over the river and through the woods to visit Great Grandma Cook we go!

 We went to visit Grandma Cook today at her craft show. She was surprised at how big Rob has gotten since the last time she saw him. It was fun to spend the day with her and Kristy.

Rob is having fun hanging out with Auntie Lyssa! He just laughs and laughs at her.

 He was a little cranky in this picture because he needed a nap!

 I got all of these burp clothes for Laura and Lauren. Their showers are coming up soon.

 Grandma Cook had two of this kind. I LOVE this pattern combo she did. I am putting them in my away in my box for if and when we have a little girl! :)

 Little Gordie has a gourd! Pastor Jayson always calls Rob little Gordie! :) He had so much fun playing with these...

and of course chewing on them!!! :)

Apple picking!

 Saturday morning we went out to Indiana to an apple orchard and went apple picking for a few hours! Rob loved all of the trees and just being outside.

 We had a car full when we went. Rob had fun hanging out with uncle Chris!

 These two were on a mission when we got there! :) My dad and wade would disappear and then come back a few minutes later with 2 bags full of apples!

 Laura is due in a few weeks. We were talking about how much fun it is going to be next year with all the little ones running around the orchard. We decided next year though we need to go when it is a bit warmer!
                              
 Rob loved the apples! Wade took a bite out of one and Rob sat in the car with Grandma chewing on it! :)

 More apples from wade! In the time I find a good apple or two and pick it wade came back like this with about ten or fifteen! :)

Rob was so tired on the way home. This picture makes us laugh. His arms aren't in the sleeves that is just how my mom took it off of him! :) We have lots and lots of apples now. I am going to be doing stuff with them all week!

6 months old!!

 It is So hard to believe our little guy is 6 months old now!!! It goes by so fast!! We went to the doctor on Wednesday and Rob was 16lbs 8oz and 26.5 inches long. The doctor said everything looked great with him. He had to get his shots again! As he gets older he is starting to realize more what they are. He took a little bit longer to calm down this time.

 He is getting so big pulling himself up and moving so much more! Time to start making sure everything is really baby proof!! :) So far he has loved most of his food: green beans, acorn squash, and now sweet potatoes. He still won't eat bananas or peas so I am not going to force him to eat them.

 Rob is a daddy's boy!!  When he starts talking it sounds like he says "da dee" and "hi". We are not sure he knows what he is talking about but he does it all the time! :) His favorite time of day is when wade calls on a break Rob will get so excited and he kisses the phone over and over again because wades picture shows up on the screen.

I love this cute little boy!! :)
