General Awesomeness

I got a new phone, it takes amazing pictures. As I scroll though the photo album on my phone I notice that all of the pictures are of Thomas. I don't have a problem with this because he is awesome. Here are a few recent awesome times with Thomas. 

Yep, we braved Black Friday with Thomas! In truth we didn't go shopping until 10:30 am so it really was not so bad (other than traffic) and we had a great time. Here is little Thomas picking up something at Macy's.

 'Well hello, welcome to my Exersaucer.'

 4 month doctor appointment. He was such a good boy during the appointment. He didn't even make a peep after his shots. Here he is checking out the fish tank in the waiting room.

 And here he is hamming it up with daddy in the exam room. He likes to be naked so I think he loves the doctor because he can parade around in his diaper.

 Oh yea, we are trying some rice cereal! Not really interested yet but the practice session sure was cute.

Thomas has discovered his tongue this week. He loves to stick it out and curl it up.

See I told you, general awesomeness. :-)

A Thanksgiving Dinner Club

Scot and I are fortunate enough to get together with a group of friends once a month for a dinner club. We all live within walking distance of each other and we all like to eat! This month the theme was Thanksgiving (go figure). As always the food was incredible and as always I ate way too much!

Yep, we fried a turkey. Note: You cannot fry a turkey without a cold Bud Light in your hand.

 The two newest additions to dinner club: Thomas and Alex. Notice Thomas's scowl, that is a classic Thomas facial expression. :-)

 Scot and his turkey, it turned out incredible!

 Matt checking on the side dishes.

 Tom and Tom.

 Tom and mom. (This feels like a Dr. Seuss rhyme) - HA!

The gang around the table.

 So good I had to take a picture of my plate. ;-)

Thanks friends!

Playtime in the Exersaucer

4 Months

I had to check the calendar at least twice yesterday. Could it already be Nov. 22 and can Thomas actually already be 4 months old! He is bringing joy into our lives everyday and we could not be more happy or feel more blessed.
The little guy is laughing, smiling, talking and drooling all the time these days!

 Tummy time!

Scot giving Thomas a 'hands on' tour of the pantry.

Practicing sitting in the Bumbo and cooking in the kitchen. You are not quite ready yet little man.

 Super fan.

 Here is our newest accomplishment! We LOVE the exersaucer. Now we can play while standing up!

 Yes, I am partial but I have decided this might be the cutest little guy around.

Happy 4 month birthday my love.

Happy Halloween!

Thomas had his first Halloween and to celebrate the occassion we had a little Halloween open house. Family and friends stoped by for some food and trick or treating!

Scot was a farmer, I was a scarecrow and little T was an ear of corn!



 Baby corn with his grandma Dopko.

 The farmer and his corn. Corn is also Scot's favorite food - watch out little T! :-)

 Friends and family gathered in, where else, the kitchen. :-)

Lazy girl jack-o-lanterns turned out pretty good. I just took plastic trick or treating pumpkins and put tea lights in them.

Happy Halloween!
