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!
