My disclaimer: please excuse the glare...this is a picture of a picture. D.K. is going to scan it for me on Monday so I can change it to a better image. That being said, this is Case's nine month picture.

The Robertson Boys getting ready for bed.

Pizza and Potatoes

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's with the boys "sisters." Since D.K. has decided (and I have gone along with a little willingly) that we are not having any more kids, these are the boys sisters...
Lydia and Connor had a blast!

Case and Clara had a few quiet moments while the older ones were playing! I know that neither of them gets very many of these at home.

Case has had his first "big boy" food. It's amazing how much sooner you do things with the second child. I am not sure why I didn't think Connor couldn't have mashed potatoes, but he didn't have them until much later. I did make one tiny mistake...I didn't think about the fact that I put milk and butter in the potatoes, and I had to change some pretty nasty diapers. I really hope he grows out of this milk allergy thing!

Busy, Busy Boys

It was a lovely weekend! Daddy and Connor took advantage of the warm weather and washed the cars...Connor also washed the driveway. The entire task probably took twice as long as normal because D.K. kept having to re-rinse parts that Connor just didn't feel were quite clean enough!

This is why they put those warnings on the bouncy seats...you know the ones. "Warning...do not leave your child unattended in this seat. Always buckle the seat belt when child is in seat." Case was in the seat before I turned around!

Random Stuff

Is it just me, or does Case look way too small to be using a sippy cup?

Connor and I went to Disney Live last night with some friends. Connor in a Woody Hat:

They are both in such great moods in the morning!

So Cute!

These pictures are of Connor (obviously) and a friend of ours (McKenzie). Her mom is a photopragher and is using them for some advertising...to cute!

Case is 6 months old! It has been a bumpy road full of doctors and hospitals, but we have made it half a year. I can't believe how quickly it has gone (or that I am still having to wake up twice a night for feedings...isn't it time for him to give that up)! He weighs 13 lbs 2 oz. We almost made our goal of 15 lbs! I love to see his smile and hear him laugh!

Thanks Daddy!

Connor Classic:

After Connor's bath while putting him to bed
Mommy: Mmm...you smell so good!
Connor: (sniff sniff) You smell like crap!
Needless to say...I absolutely lost all parental and discipline skills on the spot. After regaining enough control to talk and wiping the laughter tears from my eyes, I asked where he learned that..."Daddy."

December Wrap-Up

SNOW MUCH FUN!
We got a lot of snow on the 23rd. We made a snowman (he actually looks like some creep who lurks in the parking lot after the bar). When he started to melt Connor said "Oh no. His little arms fell off!"

CHRISTMAS

We started out Christmas in Houston with my family. It was an exhausting drive but completely worth it.

Who needs to spend any money when the grocery store has race-cars for shopping carts. I think they would have been happy to sit here for hours. (Notice that Connor has made himself quite comfy with his foot up on the dash!)

Daddy gave Connor a hand-made tool box...and Mommy was brave enough to let Connor paint it (on her dining room table). Pretty sure we went through a whole roll of paper towels. For those of you who know me well...this activity was a practice for me in letting go...I would have liked for it to be all one color...not at all the case. The finished product is 4 or 5 different colors with lots of color mixing going on. Not at all what I would have done!

Christmas Eve was lots of hard work for Connor. He had spent the last few days with Gram and Gramp, and they wore each other out. After no nap that day he crashed on the way home after only 5 minutes...with his favorite hat on!

On Christmas morning Connor had no time to stop for breakfast. However, he did finish off the cookie that Santa only partially ate...Santa should eat all of it next year. The conversation about the cookie went like this...

Mommy: "What do you want for breakfast?"

Connor: "I'm not having breakfast. I'm just having this cookie!"

Sweet boys...

For those of you who don't already know...Connor told Santa that he wanted a Cow for Christmas. When Santa asked if the cow was going to live in his bedroom....he looked at him as if he was crazy and said, "It's going to live on the farm with all the other cows."

So...Granny and Pops "gave" Connor a cow to live at their farm. I guess this was one of those gifts that looked better on the shelf.

That is not a happy boy...we do have other pictures of him trying to get down!

I will close things up with a "Connor Classic"

The boys are sharing a room, and this usually goes pretty well...A few nights ago I heard Case wake up in the middle of the night in a good mood and he was cooing oh so sweetly. The sweet sounds were followed by Connor on the monitor

"Mommy. Mom! Mommy, Case is talking to me."

I am sure he was worried that he would be the one to get in trouble since it was still night time!
