He’s eight months old today.

He’s a sweet-tempered, happy boy.

He smiles easily, you just have look at him.

He waves at everyone he sees by sticking his hand up in the air.

He has the best baby laugh ever. EVER.

great one

He’s never had a blog post devoted entirely to him alone - he’s a neglected second child.

To be fair, I didn’t even start blogging until his brother was nearly a year old, so in that respect he is ahead.

cool

He’s huge and heavy.

He has recently started to smile with his eyes closed.

    Are you still thinking about doing the book club deal?

  2. Yes! I will talk about the book club later this week.

  3. Oh, what a sweet boy! I love that one pic of his eyes all squinty. My boy just turned 7 months, and I think I’ve neglected him on my blog too. Oops.

    Yummy baby! Eat him with a spoon! He’s got the greatest smile. :)

    And wow, Sam looks like your husband, just from what I can see in the half view of his face in that one picture.

  8. I just want to thank you for making me feel less freaked out about having a second child. I know you didn’t address this issue but all the pictures made me feel warm and fuzzy. Yesterday I had some moments where I was freaking out and thinking “Oh crap! Two kids! What were we thinking! This was a terrible idea.” And then I saw Robbie’s beautiful face and feel relaxed again! Thanks!!!

  9. so cute. you make cute people, beth!

  11. He is so precious!! What a beautiful baby. I wish I could hear that baby laugh. I can tell by his smile that he would have a great laugh.

  12. He is darling! Judging by the pictures, he is a sunny, happy little man.

  13. Such cute pictures! Maddux is neglected too…i figure as long as we don’t tell them, though, they’ll never know the difference because it’s the only thing they’ve ever known. Deal?

  14. He is the most darling baby boy! I love his squinty smiles and darling little face!
