17 months

Robert is 17 months old today. Here I am behind on his blog again. If you could see what goes on as I try to write this, you would understand. Robert is so active. He doesn't stop for a minute. Plus, he's fearless, so I have to worry about his jumping off his slide or climbing on everything

























Robert experienced his first hurricane last month. We stayed at the Wellings during Ike. It was fun being with them and much easier having a generator than it would have been at our house for a week with no power. Robert has discovered that his Mimi is always willing to read a book.
















We went to Stephenville to visit Aunt Laura at Tarleton State University. Laura is a star in Tarlton FFA and won the top award that weekend at their show, even though she is a freshman. Robert got to meet some of the animals.




We spotted a farmers market selling pumpkins and decided to pick out a few.






Robert and his friend Haddon eating fall cupcakes. Haddon's mom and I trade babysitting. She watches Robert while I teach clarinet, and I watch Haddon while she teaches piano.



Robert loves tractors. When he first started saying the word, he would whisper it. e're not sure why, maybe because he got so excited about them. He points them out everywhere we go. Glenn and I went away for the weekend and Robert stayed at my parents. He did great and had lots of fun with the tractor and playing in the rubber boots and overalls his granddaddy got for him.





















A few weeks ago, Robert met his new cousin Caleb. He wasn't quite sure what to think of him, but he liked giving him kisses.
