More Randoms from Sept/Oct 2012

Say What?

Sweetly watching for Daddy

Michael would shoot me for posting this, but he probably never looks at this blog so whatever. How cute are they studying together?!?

Sliding at the park for his friend Austin's 3rd birthday!

Taking a break!

Huh?!

Sliding at Pump It Up! for cousin Andrew's birthday!




September Randomness

I'm sure there are sweet stories behind each of these lovely photos, but I don't remember. He's cute though! :)
Thomas in a box.

Visiting Nanny at work. Quite obviously on MAROON FRIDAY!

Posing in front of the cooler...? He adores Poppa's store. It is almost always our first stop in  Columbus.

Napping in the stroller! Maroon right down to his socks!

Playing at the park with cousin Luke and I believe Grammy was in attendance as well!

Sliding by himself. A first.

Luke and Thomas at Wee Babies Music at the public library. This was taken as evidence that the class actually existed. Every time Stephen was in town and we tried to go, it was canceled. This time, I had the boys by myself.
Last fall I won two tickets to the dotMom Conference in Birmingham. I'm so glad I did because I made a great new friend! I asked Ashia to go with me. We had met briefly at church and talked a bit about the conference, so when I won the tickets, I asked her to go with me. She's turned out to be an awesome friend! Plus, we had a great weekend AWAY from the kiddos! I'm secretly hoping to win tickets again this fall, except it would be a bit more challenging since Parker is so young. He would definitely have to go with me.
Ashia and I in the photo booth!

Me and Jen Hatmaker! OMG!

Random picture of Michael and Thomas on the monkey bars. :)

Hail State

We love MSU football around here. I think Thomas really enjoyed this season...well maybe not the football. I don't think we made it past the 1st quarter one time, but he did enjoy tailgating and playing with his cousins!
Waiting to put the tents up and enjoying a snack with Poppa!

He knows how to say, "Go State!"

Waiting for the Dawg Walk

Cheese with Mama

Playing with the Ketchum cousins

Watching the game with Daddy

yeah...this...all on his own!

Labor Day Weekend 2012

For Labor Day, Thomas and I took Daddy to two of our favorite spots to play: the park and MSU's campus! It was a fun family day!



I could never get Thomas to slide, but of course he does it for Daddy!



Playing in a fountain on campus was a favorite this summer!



August 2012

Looking at that last post makes me sad. That was SO long ago, and Thomas is gigantic now compared to then. It's amazing how much he has changed in the last year. I'm going to attempt to catch us up really fast since now I have a new little one's journey to chronicle. So without further rambling,
August 2012:
We played at the Splash Pad at Dwayne Hayes for the first time! (This would be come a BIG hit Summer 2013!) It took him awhile this trip to get warmed up to it, but he had fun!

Thomas started his second year at Parent's Morning Out! He LOVED school this year!

One of his best friends turned one and we helped celebrate! Thomas dragged (drug?!) that cow all over the party!

Played in the sprinkler at Grammy and Poppa's house!

Luke wasn't so sure about the wet grass on his feet, so I helped him out!

Played in his new swimming pool...

and sand table. Yeah. That's my kid eating sand. What can I say?
So that's August in a nutshell. At least according to my photos anyways!

18 Months Old (LATE!)

13 Months

14 months

15 months

16 months

17 months
18 Months
I had all the pictures in this post loaded and ready just waiting on the 18 month picture to be added with the update...and now it's November and I'm just now adding that picture. Needless to say, I cannot remember just exactly what Thomas was learning to do during the months pictured here. As you can tell from his 18 month picture, lots of bumps and bruises were a part of our life. It seems like every time his forehead gets all cleared up, he bangs into something else or falls and gets another goose egg. He discovered his fascination with blankets--as you can see in his 15 month picture. He requires that the entire blanket be covering him--no sharing allowed. He stopped sleeping in the Woombie pretty quickly after his birthday, but kept it as a lovie. We don't go anywhere that sleep is required without it. Luckily, he usually leaves it in his crib during the day unless he wakes up particularly cranky. We slowed nursing down to three times a day (wake-up, nap, and bed time). I know that still seems like a lot to most of you, but for Thomas its really good considering he nursed every 2 hours for most of his first year (about 8-10 times a day). He jabbers a lot and we can understand many of his words. I can't remember just exactly which ones were popular during this time, but I know he talked! His signs also started showing up more and more after his birthday...please, thank you, more, and all done are most popular.

Thomas--Mommy thinks you are just adorable. I'm so thankful God chose me to be your mommy. Your personality keeps me on my toes. You are hilarious and so very social. You want to talk to everyone, and you are into everything. I love every minute of being your mommy--well most every minute, I do enjoy my sleep (which most nights, you are very cooperative, thank you!) I look forward to watching you continue to grow and blossom! Love with all my heart, Mommy.

Thomas Plays PS3

 Some Father/Son bonding time.
Who can resist that precious smile.

Getting focused now.
