Daddys Birthday

Thomas at 16months

Thomas is giving kisses and making monkey noises. He loves the park, especially the spray park. Hes eating alot better now (this photo is from his jello pudding afternoon). He has become quite the ladies man, comforting damsels in distress with hugs and kisses.

Thomas at 15 months

Well the little man just had his 15month check up with the new pediatrician this past week. Seems he has dropped a few pounds...Dont be alarmed! I dont have him on a diet. He just has been running around like a lunatic at the park, in the house, everywhere! He now weighs 26lbs 10oz and he is 31.25inches long. It puts him around the 60% percentile for kids his age.

He is finally talking! He says, "Hello", "All gone", "tickle tickle", "thank you" (sort of), "couchie couchie". He is clapping hands when ever he hears it on tv, he is blowing kisses, waving bye bye, and being generally alot more affectionate than he was! He is still however screeching a good bit but apparently that is a phase. Please god it will end soon! He also seems to be getting the message about sharing and giving. On several occasions he has handed something he was playing with to another child which is awesome! He loves loves loves other kids! Well thats all for now. Enjoy the photos and we hope everyone has a happy memorial weekend!

Thomas is One!

We had a really nice birthday party for Thomas on the Sunday after his birthday. His little buddies all joined us for some cake and treats. Yay for Thomas! He is now 25lbs, running all over the place, climbing stairs, and babbling all the time. He eats mostly everything that isnt baby food (very picky) and has even had and loved indian food! He is headed to Florida in a couple of weeks so we will have more photos of his big belly for you all then!

Thomas at 10 months

Look like anyone we know? Hehe. Thomas celebrated his 10month in style with all of his peeps at Erik's firm's kids' xmas party. He was awake for about 20 mins, met Santa, and checked out some "ladies".

As most of you know, he took off walking by himself two days before Thanksgiving and has been running ever since. He is into everything and Daddy finally had to install the childproof safety locks on the cabinet doors in the kitchen. By the way, that doesnt mean Thomas doesnt try to get into them. It just means he slobbers all over the cabinets and stands in front of them waiting for them to magically open. He's blabbering away still these days but nothing we can understand. He still will not participate in waving byebye or blowing kisses but he is doing a good job of imitating us in other ways. His two favorite shows are Sid the Science Kid and Superwhy (me thinks because of the music in them). He loves dancing to different kinds of music and stops whatever he is doing to dance when a good song comes on.

We havent weighed him in a while but he has grown about a half an inch in the last month just based on the fact that he is now hitting his head on the bottom of the pack and play changing table.

He has taken alot more of an interest in the dogs now that he can move around after them. Molly is wonderful with him...Bandit not so much.

He is sleeping about 11hours at night for us and takes roughly 2naps during the day. He is eating everything we put in front of him. We took him to Silver Diner yesterday and he ate half of Erik's cornbeef hash!

We have finally gotten him down to about 4-5bottles of formula everyday. Gone are the days of 2 cans per week! One can now lasts for at least a week if not longer.

We are heading up to Waverly for christmas to see the Koons zoo and co. Then we head off to sunny St. Thomas with our little St Thomas to celebrate the new year! What exciting times ahead for the little guy and he's not even 1 yet!
