Robbie Waves Hello to 2012!

Happy New Year, everybody!

Robbie's Christmas trick

Robbie loves to perform his new trick and is quite pleased with himself!

Happy Holidays from The Blube!

Horsin' Around with Dada

Rockin' Robbie

Happy Thanksgiving!

Please, Mum - I Want Some More

What?! Moooooore?!  Robbie's been working on this sign for a long time, so he deserved the round of applause he seems to give to himself!

Happy Halloween!

Robbie's 1st Halloween!  He decided to dress up like Cupid, while Mama and Dada were his arrows' first victims! 

On/Off Switch

Robbie has found the ON switch for his toys and more importantly, the OFF switch!  Thank you, Nana Judy, this really is one of Robbie's favorites.

Mama So Funny! Dada . . . Not So Much

Swing Time

Splendor in the Grass

Robbie and Grampa took advantage of what might be one of the few remaining nice days of the year.

Six Months Old!

Light Load/Dark Load

Company picnics

Robbie was able to attend both parents' company picnics recently. He had a great time at the BatchBlue Bash in Newport where he met all of the other BatchBabies (play 'Find Robbie' in the picture below), and played dress up with Mommy.










At the RISD Farm, Robbie dipped his toes in the ocean for the first time and hung out on the blanket!

Doodlin' Dancin'

Robbie got to meet his great-grandmother, Grammy, and was a captive audience to her big hit, "Doodlin' Dancin'." Grammy used to sing this to Daddy when he was small.

Happy Birthday Mama!

Robbie helped friends and family wish mama a happy birthday. He can't wait until he's old enough to have some of that Reese's Peanut Butter ice cream cake!

Prune Goatee

Robbie has recently been introduced to solid foods and, so far, seems to like prunes the best.

A Few Fine Feathered Friends

Robbie celebrated the 4th of July at a fun neighborhood party - here Pa is introducing him to some of the other guests:

Baby of the Month: JUNE

Robbie was the subject of another photo shoot for the imaginary 'Baby of the Month' calendar!

Robbie and His Mo-'bee'-le

Robbie sometimes saves his best stuff for off-camera, but he got a little chatty with his lullaby mobile.

Happy Father's Day

Robbie and Daddy celebrated their first Father's Day with a seaside breakfast, a trip to see a nice exhibit at the RISD museum and a visit to an awesome vintage shop which was right up daddy's alley: http://www.emporiumofpopularculture.com/

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Ocean State Baby

Robbie experienced a couple of important 'firsts' recently, including his first look at the ocean,


and his all-important first trip to Allie's Donuts!


The Blube is looking forward to some summer fun in the sun!

Summer Wail

Robbie was fascinated by the fact that the colors of Narragansett's new Summer Ale match his outfit.



Here's to The Blube!

The Littlest Celtics Fan

Despite their Littlest Fan cheering them on, the Celtics got beat Monday night. The Blube is very disappointed, and though things look bleak for this series, he isn't quite ready to throw in the towel yet!

Happy Mother's Day

Mama and The Blube celebrated their very first Mother's Day with flowers, donuts, a sentimental record and lots of love! Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

History Repeats Itself

So, The Blube christened another of his Daddy's shirts, just like Daddy used to do thirty-something years ago! It's a good thing they've invented burp cloths since then - The Big D. just has to remember to use one!

Robbie meets Robert

Robbie met one of his namesakes, the original Robert Sweeney, and Helen too. He had a lot to say.


The little charmer and his great-grandparents really hit it off!
