My 1st Birthday

Wow! This thing called a "birthday" is great. Besides it being all about you, there is cake and presents!! Check out some of the pictures of my celebrations.

Nana came over on Sunday to celebrate my birthday. She brought me an ice cream cake. Mmmm. It was very cold but oh so good. We also opened gifts from Nana and Cousin Marianne and Dennis. They always send really neat things.

On my birthday, Mommy took the day off to spend it with me. Mommy, Grandma and I had a great day (Grandma suprised us with a visit). We made a trip to Butler to see Butler Blue and some of Mommy's friends. We also went to this place called Conner Prairie. They had a place called the Discovery Center. It was closed but Mommy knew the "right" people and they opened it just for me. It was a lot of fun. I milked a cow, played on a tractor, rode a car, etc. Mommy said we will go back. I had a great time and can't wait to see the baby animals next summer. Maybe I'll share some pictures in future postings.

We got home right before it started to storm. Can you believe we had a thunderstorm on my birthday in January? Mommy said that is very unusual. We ate and started to open gifts when we received a tornado warning. Mommy and Daddy were really freaked out and looked out the window a lot but everything was okay. All and all, I had a great birthday and really enjoyed the cake even though I kept the house up from 1:00 am to 3:30 am that night :)

On Wednesday morning we enjoyed my 1-year pictures before I went to school. Check out a sneak-peak at my pictures.

My birthday continued with balloons at school and a gift from Aunt Courtney, Uncle Eric and Cousin Brookie once I arrived home. Check out my new chair from the Harpers.

This birthday thing is really fun. I can't wait until I can have another one.

My latest Butler game

Today was a busy day. I got up early with Mommy (6:30 am). Mommy fixed a great breakfast (blueberry waffles and turkey sausage- mmmmm). Daddy decided to get up to run some errands with us before the Butler game.

So this was my third Butler game. To be honest, I was kind of bored, even though it was a great game, because I really wanted to walk and climb the stairs in Hinkle. Mommy and I walked around Hinkle while the crowd roared. We enjoyed the Bulldog hospitality area and I could walk around a little. I even got my picture taken with my buddy Blue II, the Butler mascot, and my new girlfriend, Kristen. Check out these pictures.

So we ended our day with a big Butler win and if you can't tell from the next picutre, I was exhausted. More to come soon.

Trying to Walk

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. My friend, Butler Blue II, reminded me that I need to update you on what has been going on. Butler Blue II is a neat friend. He is the Butler University mascot and is so popular he is on ESPN. Everyone wants to meet Blue. You can check out his blog at http://www.butlerblue2.blogspot.com/. He is really funny. I hope I can blog as well as he can some day.

I haven't been feeling myself recently. I think another tooth is on its way and I might have a touch of a cold on top of that. I really hate it when my nose runs. Mommy has this thing that she sticks up my nose and it sucks all the air out of me. I guess I can breathe better after she does it but I really like to fight with her to do it. I don't see her and Daddy using that thing, so why do I?
So Mommy tells me that I'm transitioning at school to a new class soon. Mommy is sad but she says that the next class has big boys and girls who can walk and they have art projects and everything. That should be fun. I'll make a nice mess for my teachers. My friend Cassie is already in the class and she tells me it is crazy. They only take one nap a day and even sleep on these things called "cots". Doesn't everyone sleep in cribs? I'm really not sure about these cot things but I guess if the big kids are doing it, I should too.

Mommy and Daddy likes to video tape me doing various things. They said that one day I'll appreciate it. Until then, I can share the video with my family and friends. Here is a video tape of me with one of my favortite things, the stairs. I'm trying to walk even though you can't really tell with this video.

Well, I gotta run. It's time for sleepy time and Mommy says that I'll have more pictures to share soon. I know that is what you all want to see.

Later,

Robbie

Baby New Year (a.k.a. Robbie Burt)

Wow! What a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!

I went to school on New Year's Eve for a few hours because Mommy had some work at the office and Daddy had to work. I was happy to see my friend Cassie. Today was her last official day in our room even though she spent part of the day in her new room (She is moving up because she is already walking. Boy, I will miss her.) Mrs. Colby told Mommy how I walked around the entire school with my walking toy. Cassie saw us from her new room and was sad. Oh well. She shouldn't have started walking so quickly:)

Mommy and I went home to find Daddy home already. His boss let him off early for New Year's Eve. I was excited to have a special dinner of salmon and green beans! Mmmm. Good. And then we took a few pictures because I couldn't stay up until midnight. That is way too late for me. I think Mommy and Daddy rang in the New Year with Juneau and Jazz'r (that is okay with me, the puppies are always jealous that Mommy and Daddy spend all their time with me).

While Mommy and Daddy was ringing in the New Year, I was deciding when to get up in the night. I thought 3 a.m. might be good:) Daddy came in and helped me go back to sleep.

We had a full day today. I decided it was time to get up at 6:45 a.m. Mommy and I went down stairs so I could have my bottle and Daddy stayed in bed. Mommy, Daddy and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. They say that will be our new tradition.

Besides shopping, we played a lot today. I guess Daddy and Mommy cleaned out some closets but I was busy playing with my toys. Mommy also chased me and I really liked that. I liked it so much that I wouldn't take a nap so I am extra sleepy tonight.

Well, it is time for sleepy time. The New Year holiday is great! I'm looking forward to next year already. Happy 2008 to my family and friends! My birthday will be here before I know it.
