This is what happens when you let the baby see himself on the screen while you film!

Wow, it really has been awhile! In my defense though, Robert's been sick for the last three weeks. First he had a wicked fever, congestion, and an ear infection. We went on 10 days of antibiotics, and thought all was well, only to be awoken at 1:30 in the morning two days later with a screaming baby that couldn't sleep unless he was sitting up. Turns out, the ear infection had not only come back, but it was worse than before and in both ears. So we get the "new" antibiotic (the doctor told us she was prescribing something stronger), go get it, come back home, and realize that it's the EXACT same thing. So after most of a day going around in circles with the nurse, we got the new prescription. Robert seems to be doing much better now. We have an appointment this coming Tuesday to make sure everything is in order.

Back before Thanksgiving, we went to Sears to get Christmas pictures taken. Robert did absolutely wonderful, smiling and having a good time. We just got them back, and here's a preview!

Merry Christmas from Santa Robert!

Too much egg nog!

Okay, so maybe that last one isn't stellar, but it's funny. I giggle every time I see it. He's actually in the process of falling backwards, but don't worry, his Daddy was right there to catch him!

I'm gonna get me a flower!

Here it is! The long awaited (it's been almost 5 hours!) 8 month photo! He's looking very snazzy in his polar bear shirt, if I do say so myself.

Can you believe it? It's December already! It's also Robert's 8 month birthday. This month, he celebrates it with a very special person, Miss Tammy! She took some wonderful pictures of Robert when he was 4.5 months old, and we were in GA, so Robert wanted to make her a sign. Happy Birthday Miss Tammy!

This is so exciting!

Since it's the Christmas season, we broke out his new Christmas jammies (Thanks Nana!). You can't see them too well in this picture, but trust me, they're cute. There's a reindeer on the front, a reindeer on the butt, and little reindeer for feet. I'll try and get a better picture later.

Robert's 8 month picture will be incoming soon! We'll be showing off some of the new wardrobe that Gramma sent us!

It's Birthday week in the Henderson family! Today's birthday belongs to Paw! Happy Birthday Paw!

I'm so happy it's Paw's birthday!

Today Robert went Black Friday shopping with his Daddy. Mommy was very happy, because she got to sleep. Then they came home and the whole family went to Sears to look for holiday village pieces, and then we decided to go to Toys-R-Us (big mistake). We had one thing we wanted to get, but when we realized the line was wrapped ALL THE WAY around the store (no lie, there were arrows on the floor telling people which way to queue), we put our one thing down and left. It'll most likely be there next week.

I don't want to be happy!

We told Robert to have a happy Thanksgiving, and this is what he had to say. Pretty accurate, actually. He was really good most of the day (he even took a 2.5 hour nap early this afternoon), but when we sat down to eat, he decided he was done being happy, and wanted to scream and be fussy the rest of the afternoon/night.

Overall though, we had a good day. We had fun cooking (Joab helped!) and watching football. For our Turkey Day, we didn't have turkey at all, but Cornish game hens. For sides, we had macaroni and cheese, dressing, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and rolls. Robert had sweet potatoes and corn.

Our spread!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It looks like I caught him at the beginning of "happy". Today is Aunt Bekkah's birthday, yay! Hope it's a good one!



We took Robert to the doctor this morning after his fever spiked to 103.8 last night. This morning it was down to 101.7, and by the time we got to the doctor, he didn't have a fever. It turns out that not only does he have a sinus infection, he also has an ear infection. Poor boy. The doctor prescribed him amoxicillin. She said she was faxing it right then, but when we got to the pharmacy an hour and a half later, they hadn't even received it yet. I'm a tad irritated, especially since I was told the nurse would be back by two, and it's now three and I still haven't heard anything.

We'll just say that face is because he's singing.

Today is Papa's birthday. Papa is Mommy's daddy. He's turning, well, he's turning a year older :). Happy Birthday Papa!


On a not so happy note, Robert is sick. For the very first time in his life, he's got a fever and a runny nose. He's been sneezing and coughing a little, but I'm pretty sure that's from drainage. If I had to guess, he's working on a sinus infection. He's handling it pretty well though. He's a little bit fussier than normal and is fighting sleep much more than usual, but other than that, he's been pretty happy. Here's to hoping he gets to feeling better soon!
