Happy Halloween! We had a costume for Robert. It was a pea pod. But when we tried to put him in it, he was too big! Joab and I were sad. Robert seemed to be glad, he didn't enjoy us trying to put the costume on him. Being so late in the game, when we looked for another costume, there were none to be found. So instead, we got him a shirt with Frankenstein's Monster on it, and he's still cute!

Nice Jack-o-lantern. *pet pet*

I sure do love me some Halloween!

Don't make fun of my pumpkin. I worked hard on it, and am very sensitive about the fact that his eyes are lopsided!

Poor goat, she was stuck. :(

Feeding the llama!

They had a really neat place set up for photo ops.

 

PUMPKIN! I MUST EAT YOU!

I was only kidding, Ms. Scarecrow, I wasn't going to eat it.

Look at all the pumpkins!

Hay Maze!!

Today we went to the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm to see their pumpkin patch. They had a lot of stuff to do, way more than we expected them to have since this weekend wasn't one of their Pumpkin Festival weekends. There was a petting zoo, a hay ride, three different mazes, a few playgrounds, and a couple of little stores. Robert was really good, he had fun looking at all the different things. He especially liked the hay ride, because he got to look at a bunch of stuff!

Well, yesterday was Uncle Caleb's birthday! I got a new computer though, and forgot to get one with a card reader on it, so these had to wait until I went and bought one. So here it is! Happy Birthday, Uncle Caleb!

 Gramma got Robert this outfit, and he's now big enough to wear it! We'd been waiting somewhat impatiently because we really liked this outfit.

Yeah, I'm standing, what of it?!

Thanks Gramma!

First of all, Momo broke her wrist a few days ago, so Robert wanted to make her a sign, and he did, but since I'm a slacker, I just now took the picture. We hope you feel better Momo!

I don't think you can tell from these pictures, but Robert has a rash. We went to the doctor this morning, because in the space of 24 hours, the rash had spread from the top of his head all the way down to his knees. Turns out it's some kind of viral rash. The doctor said not to worry about it unless something major changes, i.e. he gets a high fever, the spots start oozing, etc. They don't seem to bother him, which is good. Also, with his clothes on, he weighs 19lbs, 4oz. He's getting to be a chunk!

My little man is going to be crawling soon, look at this:

Aren't I cute in my Sports Prison jammies and my hat?

Look! I figured out what a pillow is for!

Oh, like you've never chewed on a sock before.

Mmmm, carrots!

So yummy I keep some on my nose for later!

Today is Robert's half birthday! That's right, he's 6 months old. To commemorate the day, we went to the doctor and got some shots. Then we came home and were cranky for the rest of the day. Poor baby, it breaks my heart when he doesn't feel good, and you can definitely tell that he doesn't feel good today. He also got his flu shot, and we have to go back in four weeks to get the second dose. Now for the important part, the stats: Robert is now a whopping 18 lbs, 7 oz. A far cry from the 5lbs, 10 oz he weighed when he was born. He's also 26.5 inches long, and has gained 1 cm in the circumference of his head.

Doctor's visits are hard work!

We got home from the doctor, and he was just a-talkin', all the sudden he got quiet. Turns out, he had talked himself to sleep.

I'm six months old today!

This is my CRAZY SMILE!

Here's Pooh Bear, he's my friend.
