Spring is almost here!

Time sure does fly when life happens!
We now are a few weeks into March and I have wondered where all the time has gone. While it is true that when you have a little one (or more) in the house, it seems like you are in a time warp! So without further adieu, here is what has been happening at the household!

As usual, Robbie has been growing and developing pretty well since the last entry. He is slowly closing in on 15 months (on the 29th of March) and is running, throwing, and chatting away (at least in baby lingo). He is getting better in the walking department without crashing & burning too much these days. He has even tried to climb the stairs at the house a few times (and got as high as the 3rd step). Of course, Cindy & I promptly take him upstairs to his bedroom and place him in his crib for some timeout. Cindy got the idea from her dad who had done that to her older brother Joe when he was a little guy and their house had stairs. Robbie sometime gets that mischievous look in his eyes just before he touches the stairs and giggles when he does it. Sometimes it is hard not to laugh, but we take him up for a few minutes and then bring him down. Most of the time, I usually give him a lecture on playing on the stairs, the reason mommy & daddy take him up and all the other stuff that goes along with it. The other day, Cindy took him outside to play in the backyard since we had some snow, and he had a ball! Even though he does not like putting on his coat sometimes, he had a good time. This past week, some friends from church asked us to watch their dog--a 1 year old black lab. Robbie has used her as a cushion to lay his head or body on her. At least it isn't Chloe.
In other news, my mom had a artery bypass on the 10th and came through with flying colors! She will be staying with one of my aunts while she recovers and can return to her apartment. Thanks to everyone who prayed for her. It sure has made things a bit easier for all of us.
Well, time to head out for the time being. Hopefully,next time will not be that long!
