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!

Thomas is 3 months!

Holy cow, where did the time go?!?!
Here is a little video of the big man. Sorry for a lack of videos, they take FOREVER to upload and this mommy has little patience for such things these days. :-)

Thumb sucker

Thomas has discovered his thumb, well actually his entire hand usually involved when he needs a little self soothing or is bored. I need to capture it on video but in the meantime . . . .

 Sucking his thumb during 'tummy time'. 

Going for the entire hand while spending time in his swing. 

I don't mind, I was a thumb sucker too and I turned out pretty good. ;-)

Yes, I really am this cute. ;-)

Where have you been?

Well it turns out it is not easy for me to blog and also raise a baby. Go figure. :-) However, Thomas and his mommy have discovered something so revolutionary that we are still blown away - the mid-day nap!!! Currently Thomas has been sleeping for almost 2 hours - I can't believe it! I actually find myself walking around the house looking for things to do.

A lot has been happening around here. Let's catch up quickly.

First up: Thomas turned 1 month old!

 He is in LOVE with this play mat. He could stare at the blinking light and listen to the songs it plays all day. Sadly, mom and dad now have the music memorized.

Thomas met his cousin Caleb! I have no doubt this little guy will be getting Thomas into all sorts of trouble when they are older. :-)

One stylish grandma at the zoo! 

Of course, Thomas is a Bronco fan!

Thomas met his Great GREAT grandpa. There is a 90 year difference between these two. :-)

Little Thomas has developed a SERIOUS mullet.

Mullet close up. Awesome. Scot wants to cut it. I say no way!

Thomas turns 2 months! Whew, that was a quick two months!
