Hello Auntie Bo!

Robbie and Reece have the best auntie ever. When she wasn't feeding Reece, she was playing with Robbie. Her visit was wonderful and she is greatly missed.

Robbie's Reaction?

Robbie's feelings towards his new brother? Well, it is difficult to determine but there is a look of bewilderment at times. So far he has been a wonderful big brother.

Life With Two Children

Both Mom and Dad are a bit tired but very proud.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

First Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me! Yes, my parents bought me a wonderful cake and organized a party with lots of people including other babies. It was so much fun!

Vienna with Daddy

This was a wonderful day to do some travel around Vienna. When I got tired of crawling, Daddy would put me up on his shoulders and carry me around the park. In this picture we are taking a break and enjoying the sunshine at the Summer Palace (Schonbruenn). Happy Easter~

Vienna with Mommy

Mommy and I walked up to the top of the hill to get this view of the city. What a beautiful day it was for a picnic. We sat by the pond and enjoyed the sunshine.

Girlfriends!

Yes, girlfriends are a handful. They always want your attention and lots of affection. I can't pry them off of me sometimes : )

Taking the Train ...

What a ride it was seeing Europe by train. Yes, here we are on the train crossing the border of Germany and Holland. It is beautiful countryside .

Enjoying Breakfast

Just hanging out having breakfast with mom while she drinks her coffee. Yes, the conversation is pretty basic right now but the communication is improving with each day.

Enjoying the Beach : )

Perhaps this was not the best time of year to visit the beach but despite the snow and wind, the walk was great.

The Hage in The Netherlands

Visiting The Hage was great and hotel on the beach was the perfect place to stay.

Crawling right along ...

Yes, I am now crawling. I started crawling and standing up at about 9 months. It was a bit scary at first and I kept falling over but the more I do it, the better I get. And, the best part is that I can now reach onto the coffee table and pull open cupboards. It is keeping my parents busy but proud, too.

Surfin' Dude

Just finishing his second level of baby swimming classes, Robbie can now hold his breath under the water. And, he loves to splash and kick now, too.

Girlfriends!

Check out these girls that are spending time with me. Wow, I am a lucky guy!

Uncle Roberto - How Art Thou?

Whilst in a moment of philosophical debate with my uncle, we started to quote Sheakesphere. We just changed it from "Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo" to Oh Roberto, Oh Roberto".

Check Out His Breath!

Yikes, someone get this cute doggie a mouthwash bone. He is cute but he insists on licking my face and soother and the smell is something else. Maybe I should lick him back ; )

That's My Grandma Deary

Yes, Grandma Deary has some pretty funny jokes to tell and this one really cracked me up. Has she told the one about the chicken that crossed the road? Ok, well I will let her tell you then.
