Thomas' First Easter

Our attempt at a family picture in the bluebonnets. As previously stated, Thomas hates the sun, so this didn't go well. When we tried to take pictures of him by himself, he just screamed! So this is all we've got!

Hmmm....what is this?
Thanks Grammy and Poppa for my awesome bucket!

I'm okay being in the bucket. Mommy is right there.

This is NOT okay! Get me OUT of here NOW!!!

Thomas Goes to a Baseball Game!

Only one picture was taken to document this momentous occasion. Michael's office went to a Ranger's game to celebrate the end of tax season. Since it is likely our last opportunity to go and it was free, we decided to brave it with the baby! He was SO good! We had the all you can eat seats, so I was able to take him inside and let him out of the Moby wrap to stretch and play. He was mesmerized from the time we got out of the car. He just looked all around at everything. We made it to the end of the 8th inning and both Mommy and Baby boy were tired, so Daddy gave in and took us home. It was perfect timing too because Thomas was MAD when we got in the car. Fun car ride home from Arlington, but he slept WONDERFULLY that night and pretty much all day Sunday!

Around the Apartment with Mommy

So Thomas HATES the sun. He refuses to open his eyes when he's outside. So I thought if I took him outside to play for awhile, he'd eventually HAVE to open his eyes. Nope. Just sat there with his eyes shut the whole time. Even with the sunglasses and hat on. Still Shut.

Enjoying a good book during tummy time.

He really likes Eric Carle. His eyes get so big looking at the pictures. He's amazed!

Its a Bird, Its a Plane, Its THOMAS!

Thomas loves to play airplane with his Daddy. AND its Daddy's go to trick when Thomas is fussy! Works every time...almost! I tried to capture the big grin on his face when he does this, but he always refuses to smile once I get the camera out!

Thomas Goes Swimming!

We took Thomas to the indoor pool at the seminary last week on Michael's day off! I think he had fun! I know I did! He seemed to enjoy being in the water and kicking his legs. He got mad when you held him in a way that he couldn't kick his legs. He also really enjoyed watching the big kids swim! His girlfriend, Adelae, also joined us! I wish I had the camera when she got in the pool. He just grinned at her!! He's really sweet on her! Please excuse the extremely tight shirt. Mommy bought the size according to his age, but I'm quickly learning that he's a little large for his age. I was slightly concerned we were going to have to cut it off! But it came off and everyone survived!

Please excuse this awful swimsuit! The RAC has a modesty policy, so I had to pull out the old one piece from my LFR days. Not that I was really wanting to get in a bikini, but a tankini would've looked cuter!

Thomas Rolled Over!!

Thomas rolled over for the first time last Thursday-the day before he turned 8 weeks old. However, every time I tried to catch it on video, he refused to cooperate! This morning (Wednesday), of course he rolled over when I didn't have my phone. So I grabbed it and luckily he did it again!! The second video is of me trying in vain to get him to roll over. It's long, so you won't hurt my feelings if you don't watch it all. Just wanted to have it on the blog for safe keeping. :)

Thomas got his shots yesterday and really was a trooper. He was quite mad when it all happened. So mad that he really wouldn't even nurse. But once I put him into his carseat and tucked his blanket around him, he went right to sleep and slept for 3 hours straight! He pretty much spent the day sleeping yesterday and only woke up to eat and play for a few minutes. Today, he slept until 11 only waking up to eat. But when he finally woke up, he was happy as can be.

Stats: 13 pounds 11 ounces. 24.5 inches long. 16 inches head circumference (whatever that's worth!)

Grammy and Poppa Visit Thomas

A few weeks ago, Grammy and Poppa (Mary Beth's parents) came to visit. Here are a few highlights!
