11 months

Thomas,

Another month older and more mobile too! You are growing up so fast and turning into the sweetest, busiest little boy!

This is the best shot I could get of you with your frog. You won't lie still for very long anymore!

You are moving faster and faster these days. You have the army crawl down pat now and are cruising all over the place and causing mischief wherever you go.  Crawling on your knees is over-rated anyway, You're learning what those knees are all about though because you've started to climb! We have a feeling that you're going to pick it up real quick. You've even taken a few steps around thing and in-between things like the couch and the coffee table.

Meal time is still your most enjoyable part of the day. You LOVE to eat. We call you our garbage disposal or our bottom-less-pit. Your favorite food is gaucamole/avacado. You get so excited when you see it and wiggle all around until it comes. Scrambled eggs is a close second though and you LOVE to gnaw on apple slices. If someone is eating around you, you most definitely need to be eating as well! And you're getting better and better at it since you've got SO many teeth now.

You are getting all your little baby teeth at once. This past month you cute 3 teeth and then 3 more right after that. You have your 4 top teeth and your bottom 2 middle teeth. You have been a trooper through it all. It didn't effect your sleeping much which we are so so grateful for! Not much drooling but you needed lots of loves from mom and dad!



You are a curious little thing and love to figure out how things work - you must get that from your dad. Whatever mom and Dad are doing you want to jump right in and "do" it too (or just grab whatever we have so you can have it) You are happy all the time and are definitely still a Momma's boy. We love your sweet little smile, darling belly laugh, and adorable dimples!

Thomas you are our little blue-eyed Blondie. You have all of a sudden turned into a little toe-head blonde and we Love it! You are such a handsome little guy. Your hair is slowly growing in. Your starting to get some longer hairs in the back. But for now we keep your hat on in the sun because your poor little white head will get fried this summer if not. You don't hate it too much and you look adorable in it!

You and Abby love each other so much and you're starting to play together more and more. You're learning how to hold your own with your sister and putting up a good fight when it comes to your toys. She is learning to share. Abby loves making you laugh and you laugh the very most when she does.







We had some fun adventures this last month. With summer peaking it's head in between these spring days we're finding lot's of things to keep us busy. You had your first trip to the Zoo. We rode the train and saw the animals. You thought the big Orangutan was pretty neat when it was so close and staring at you. 

We also went to the Aquarium with Grandma 'Minnie' and Aunt Marcie. You weren't sure about all the tanks full of sea life at first. You really didn't like it. But one you warmed up to the idea you wanted to just stay and stare at them. The string ray tank really caught your attention. You liked to try to touch them through the glass. But when Mom lifted you up over the wall to touch them for real in the water you definitely didn't like that.

We also got to celebrate Daddy's birthday! You wanted to grab as his burning candles and, we're quite sure, try to eat them. You were lucky enough to get a taste of the fruit trifle dessert!

Thomas, we love having you in our family! You bring us so much joy. You were just what this little family needed. You are a breath of fresh air, calm as can be, and so loving!
