Thomas had his 15 month appointment on Wednesday. He’s 24 lbs. 9 ounces and 31 inches. And he hates the nurse. He cried more about the nurse weighing and measuring him than he cried about his shots. Actually, he just whimpered at his shots. He was so brave.  read more »

Thomas learns science and watches geese, ducks, racoons, bats, snakes, ferrets, mice, fish, and bobcats at this wonderfully free and kid-sized learning center. The ducks were his favorite. Oh, and Karl tests the camera on his new phone.

Here is a list of things Thomas does every day.

1.  Play with blocks.  He puts them in tupperware, in his bus, in his bucket, in the cupboards, in drawers.....

2.  Empty Mommy's drawer in the bathroom.  Lotion, Makeup, anything that is a fun container to carry around.

3.  Empty the Tupperware Drawer several times (lately this involves #1).

4.  Play with shape ball.

5.  Dance

6.  Send winks on MSN Messenger.  (I wish I never showed him these)

7.  Throw fit after sending winks time is over.

8.  Eat of course.  read more »

Thomas is getting a little better and pointing to the right body parts.  One thing though, he will only praticipate in this game when he wants to.  If he is not interested he will ignore me.  Here are some that he knows in order of what he gets right most of the time.

1.  Belly (knows this one very well.  if he is in the mood he will show you his or even try to find yours).

2.  Toes and feet

3.  Ears 

4.  Hair (Mommy's that is)  

5. Head 

The rest he is not so good at, but he is learning:  eyes, nose, knees, mouth.

We were excited to get autumn kicked off this week.  For real this time.  It was somewhat cold and very rainy almost every day of the week.  Just in time for Halloween.  And Halloween was so fun!  read more »

These are pictures of Thomas at the Ward Halloween party and at the Trunk or Treat. We also got a few shots of him before and after. Thomas loved the Trunk and Treat a lot more than we thought he would.
