The Robertson Family: 15 months!

Life has been a little crazy lately. We have had some busy weeks lately but things have slowed down some and then were sad to find out the kids have two sick great-grandparents. Rusty's great-grandpa has been in the hospital and is now home but has been losing weight. We plan on going out to see him this weekend when Rusty gets a day off. My grandmother had also been in the hospital with pneumonia and was better and sent home. After being home just a couple of weeks she was back with difficulty breathing. They started her on more antibiotics and we thought she would be home in no time. She was feeling much better and then started having more trouble so they moved her to ICU. She had a great day after her first night in ICU and thought she was going back to a regular room. Yesterday and today were not good days. Now the plan is to send her to Landmark (a rehab facility) on Wednesday. She has two different kinds of bacteria growing in her lungs and is still on antibiotics but doesn't seem to be getting better. Since we don't know what is going to happen we are trying to figure out a way to let the kids visit her as well. It is difficult since we don't want to expose them to the germs of a hospital.

On a better note the kids are growing like weeds and getting smarter everyday.

Ryan: 23 lbs 12oz, 32in long at his 15 month check up. He is my biggest. He loves to help. If we need something he loves to go get things and bring them to you. He is also my biggest bully at times. He likes to steal toys from the other two and if they take it back he gets really mad and we have to watch him closely. He has bitten Tyler once and tried several times. He and Tyler also like to pull hair, little stinkers! He has just started shaking his head yes in the last week. He is getting close to running and loves to play outside. He will look out the window at their swings and get so excited. Hard to explain to him that we can't go out when it is 40 degrees! So glad for the good weather so he can go play. He is jabbering a lot but still not to many words. Mama, Dada, No (thank goodness he doesn't use it often), hi, bye bye and eat.

Tyler: 18 lbs 14oz, 30 in long. He is small but mighty. He can wrestle with the best of them. He has a smile that is contagious and loves to flirt with girls. We are gonna have to watch him close! He loves to splash and play in the bathtub. I have to wear a towel over my clothes just to be in the room and stay dry! He is also jabbering a lot but not saying as much. He does mama, dada, and bye bye. He loves to eat. He is my kid that he can eat anything and stay so skinny. He eats most anything he can get his hands on. He does not like peas! I am so proud of how far they all have come in their 15 months of life but especially of Tyler. He started so small and has had to work the hardest to catch up with everybody else. What a strong boy!

Emily: 20 lbs 1oz, 30 in long. She is such a diva. She loves to go outside and swing but she refuses to walk in the grass and if she falls she doesn't want to catch herself. She holds her hands up like she doesn't want to get them dirty. So funny! She is my little talker. I had to do my first steps update today and was trying to come up with all the words she has said. I will try again here. Mama, dada, hi, bye bye, eyes, TyTy, bubba, baba, eat, up, bite, baby, this, that, me (she loves that one!), No, and most recently thank you. It just makes since for the girl to talk to most! She will elarn a word and say it over and over but once she learns a new one you can forget the old ones. She doesn't like to say them anymore. Everytime I ask her to say baby she shakes her head no! My little independant one. She is finally starting to get some hair. It is coming in slowly but is starting to get thicker.
