CantWait replied: Ack first I'm going to say sorry to everyone who posted, I didn't get the chance to get on yesterday............

CantWait replied:
Robbie is great with the baby, he loves to read to him already, hold his hand. He watches him while I take a shower. I recently got him one of those throw away cameras, and so far I think all the pictures he's taken is of the baby, he's defenitly a great big brother.

I think for Robbie's birthday, we're going to take one of his friends mini golfing with us. Then come home and have a couple other friends over for hotdogs and cake.

I have a couple pictures of them, sorry it's kinda small though.

CantWait replied: and there's this one... if I could ever get it right

CantWait replied:
LOL Robbie will not change a diaper, he won't even touch one unless it's in a bag....he finds it otterly gross when the baby farts or poops when he's holding him

They both have their own rooms that we're decorated when we found out another one was on the way. Robbie's room is painted Marine green with pine wood and blue accesories (sp?) and the baby's room is painted yellow with jean accessories (sp?) and dark wood, I'll have to take pictures and post soon.

Anthony does take a binky, my boob would be awfully sore otherwise.

CantWait replied:
Teehee Anthony's stump fell off at 1 week, I was so excited to see his belly button, I think dh thought I was nutts.

I am breastfeeding and he's already getting chunky, is that normal?

Robbie starts school on his birthday, Sept. 3, we have no idea who his teacher will be this year, they never find out till the first day cause the teachers don't know till then, then sometimes a week later it's someone else, crazy huh

Robbie loves school, although this year he was super excited about summer vacation.

CantWait replied:
Robbie is very picky about what he eats, but for the most part, hotdogs, poptarts and more hotdogs...

His room looks like a tornado hit it, LOL no seriously I answered that up top....teehee

He likes to play sports but doesn't participate in any clubs or organizations, although he does take swimming lessons.

Anthony is certainly bf and HATES his bath, he loves that the water is warm but puts up a mad fuss when trying to wash him.

CantWait replied:
Robbie has been independent now for the last few years....if he can do it for himself he will

Hmmmmm he's still a little young to do silly things, but I love to see him smile. The first time he grabbed a chunk of his hair and pulled then cried it made me laugh, but he does it all the time so that kinda worries me now.

Robbie is very kind hearted and very well mannered. Definetly something that makes daddy and I very proud.

CantWait replied:
Robbie looks a lot like Daddy, while everyone is telling me that Anthony looks like me the most.

I'd have to say Robbie's best friend is a little girl named Rebecca, they always play together.

Our family pet is a dog named Dusty, and I just liked the name from before we got him, so that's what we named him. Opps did you mean the kids I'm an idiot, my dh picked out Roberto Enrique cause he liked it, same with Anthony Christian, I liked that. It was a comprimise on Antonio which I didn't like so much. Plue both names had to be spanish due do the fact that dh is latin.

CantWait replied:
Robbie's favourite thing in school is music and computers. he's going to be in grade 3 this year.....omg I can't believe he's getting so big.

I'm told Anthony looks most like me, YEAH!!!!

Right now all Anthony does is stare at his brother and study him. He smiled at him once.

CantWait replied:
It's crazzzzzzzzzzzy Between letting the dog out, preparing Robbie's meals, etc..... inbetween bf I'm surprised I'm not insane yet. I just think I'm not the only military wife that's juggling it all. And there's single moms that do it all the time.

Robbie can be a big help when he's not with his friends. He gets me a drink when I'm feeding the baby, or lets the dog inside or outside, watches the baby when i'm in the shower, etc.... and he gets paidx to do chores around the house.

CantWait replied: THANX to all for your questions
