NIght Owl

My little night owl is upstairs right now (9:22 p.m.) giggling and playing with every toy within arms reach of his crib. This of course includes his fan. He is such a little night owl. Meanwhile, his daddy is out cold. Yep, Daddy is asleep for the night while Robbie is still going strong. Well, I guess we know whose sleep patterns Robbie takes after.

Anyway, I didn't take any pictures that I can share with the internet today. All I took pictures of was Robbie trying on his Halloween costume and that is still remaining super secret. Another thing that we don't know about yet - the gender of Robbie younger sibling. So, I thought I would post this picture of Robbie with a stuffed elephant from his Aunt Jen, back when we thought he was a girl.

Robbie Takes Over

Hello! Wednesdays are hard on Mommy. Lately she has been extra tired, so I decided to help mom out a bit. I went to work for Mommy and took care of some of her to do list. I also decided to write this post for Mommy. Well, I need to go now, because there are some things that Mommy still has to do...like change my diaper.

Shopping Trip!

Yesterday we went shopping for Robbie's Halloween costume. We had a lot of fun, particularly Robbie had fun on the rides outside of the outlet stores. He actually is getting pretty spoiled about riding them. I know, it sounds a little crazy, Robbie being spoiled, but he really is. Anyway, check out some of his pics!






Believe it or not, Daddy wanted to go to Cracker Barrel and not Mommy. Robbie did love his pancakes for dinner!






Oh, what is Robbie going to be for Halloween you ask? Well, you will just have to wait and see!

Happy Italian-American Heritage Day

I hope everyone had a great Italian-American heritage day. Robbie celebrated in all the typical ways.


Robbie started out the day drinking way too much.


He ended up walking around in women's shoes


And I am quite sure that I heard him say to this innocent bystander, "How you doin'?"

Fall Fun

Saturday, we went to the Wicked R Ranch near Dover. Robbie had a great time with his friends, Abby, Victoria and Joseph. Enjoy the pictures!




Robbie loved the pony ride. The pony's name is Ice Cream.



Robbie also enjoyed the petting zoo.



Wow! More animals!




Traveling through the corn maze was exciting.



Daddy and Robbie share a tender moment on the hay ride back to the farm.



Robbie and Joseph play in the gaga - aka water


Riding on the Bull Train



The whole gang of soon to be older siblings went for a ride.



Robbie got to go on a ride on an even bigger pony.



Running thru the hay bale maze!

Life is a Game

Yesterday fits the motto: All is well that ends well. We wake up and Robbie's rash is no better. He also has a weird spot on his face. We, being the sane parents that we are, freaked out. We called the doctor, hurriedly drove to see her. By the time we got there the spot on his face was gone. And we had a new verdict about the rash. So, the rash that Robbie has had for 2 weeks now, which we were told was poison ivy, is really probably the result of some virus. OK. Nothing to do here.

Robbie then went to school for lunch and naptime so Mommy could get some work done and daddy could go to a class at work.

Then the fun began. Robbie loves three things: Balls, planes and his friend Caleb. Yesterday afternoon had all three! We went to see the ENCA soccer team win a game next to the Georgetown aiport, with Caleb there to see his brother. Yep, life was pretty perfect for the Dobber.



Robbie loves Caleb!




Robbie got a tad sweaty so he was sportin' a mohawk!

I must at this point apologize for not posting yesterday. I fell asleep at 7:00, so no post. Also, I am tired. I guess that is the pregnancy update.

School Days

Alright, Wednesday is a crazy day. It will be the day that challenges me the most to get fresh, hot off th presses Robbie pics. I work in the office all day on Wednesday, Robbie is in school. After work and school it is a rush to get to dinner at church at 5:30 (gotta be there early or there are no chairs - God is doing awesome things). Then, usually Charlie is at work, so I have to feed Robbie and myself alone while "working the room". Then it is off to the nursery and classe for us and then Robbie is usually late to get to bed. So anyway, Wednesday will be difficult.

That being said, this Wednesday, I took pictures of Robbie at school so I could make sure to get some in. Next Wednesday is still unknown. So for now, enjoy!




We are on our way!



Look! It's my classroom



Robbie is at the big boy table!



Robbie insisted upon taking his milk to school.




Robbie's teachers, Mrs. Jemma and Mrs. Carol. Robbie loves Mrs. Carol!
