Thomas' First Parade!









These are WAY old! From the MSU Homecoming parade. I took them on mom's phone, so it took a while to get them transferred to post.

Thomas Meets Santa!

Thomas thought Santa was okay...
 
A little curious about that beard...
Luke, however, was NOT a fan. At least not up close!
We took the boys to have pictures made with Santa at the Starkville RecPlex one night. This Santa looked really "real", and since you never know what you're going to get at a mall, we decided this was our best bet. Also, there was not long line and it was FREE! We used our camera and got as many shots and as much time as we needed! The only drawback is it wasn't a great backdrop, and there are some shadows. But hey, I think the trade off was worth it!

Watch Me Grow!

 44 Weeks (plus a few days...)
45 Weeks

46 Weeks

47 Weeks

11 Months
So I didn't do a very good job with pictures this month! I don't think one of them was actually taken on the day it was supposed to be except the 11 months! I think I have a good excuse: Christmas and moving! Despite our busy month, Thomas has developed lots of new and absolutely adorable tricks:
  • He dances whenever he hears music. If he's standing, it's a little bounce. If he's sitting he bobs his head.
  • He pushes his arms through his sleeves. I know that sounds silly, but it helps with dressing a LOT!
  • He belly laughs at almost anything Michael and I do. For example, he has this habit of holding his food up to us, so the other night I leaned in as if I was going to take a bite of it. He found this hilarious! I absolutely love his little giggle.
  • Standing alone...with no hand support.
  • From a standing position, he can squat down to pick something up and almost always stand back up.
  • He sits on his knees a lot...especially when he's really interested in something.
  • He has grown to love books over the last month. Up until now, he would pretty much scream every time I tried to read to him. But now, he enjoys it and laughs and touches the pictures. He even points to books sometimes which I think means he wants me to read them. He also enjoys putting books over his head.
  • Really he enjoys putting anything over his head. All during Christmas, wrapping paper, bows, clothes, anything he could get his hands on went over his head.
  • Still jabbering all the time! 
  • I'm pretty sure he understands the signs "all done" and "more" although he will not use them. If I sign more, he smiles and gets really excited. He has signed them a couple times, but really prefers to holler. It's communication I suppose, and we know what he wants so I guess it works!
  • Hugs! He leans in and "hugs" me now. I love it!
  • He also tries to give kisses which are more like open mouth slobber fests that I'm really nervous are going to end in him biting down on my face.
  • I picked him up from Parent's Morning Out yesterday, and he had a scratch on his nose. The teacher said he and some other kids were "rough-housing"! I don't know why, but this cracked me up!
  • He likes to "rough house" with Daddy in the floor at home. Perhaps this is what led to the school incident. He finds wrestling in the floor very funny!
  • He eats anything you put in front of him along with anything he finds on the floor.
  • We have had some digressing in the sleeping department. I attribute it to the new house. I'm hoping it passes soon!
  • He has slept several nights and naps arms free although its not consistent.
That's all I can think of today! I am sad to say that we still don't have internet and have no idea when we will get it, so my posts will be sporadic! I'll do the best I can!
