What a cutie!!! He’s so big now :)

Thanks for the mention by the way.

Maybe he can be the president of the United States or he could be the next Jeremy Lin! :)

Thanks! He just looks big because of the clothes. He is so skinny! We need to fatten him up a lot more.

Great results on your give-away there. I’ve been think about a doing one myself. Did you see most of that in the first few days, or was it fairly spread out? And thanks for including me on the round-up!

It spreads out pretty well. I had the giveaway featured on top and I think that helped.

Little Man is getting on up there. Almost ready for a run!

He really is itching to run. He likes to walk fast and then fall down, but he’ll learn.

Baby RB40 is adorable. Who cares how much it cost for him to go to college! He is growing fast!

He is a cutie pie, but I care about how much college cost.
Hopefully he can get a scholarship. :)
