THomas Has BIG shoes to fill!

Some new Pics

Well, I wanted to update with a few new pictures!! Our little boy is SOOOOOOO busy, and likes to climb all the time!! Our goal most days is to just do all we can to keep him from seriously injuring himself since he has NO fear!! We love him dearly and his laughs, smiles, and hugs when he pats your arm or back will melt you heart everytime!! Every day is an awesome blessing!! Enjoy the pictures!!
Thomas, Daddy, and Joshua Smith (The boys are about 3 months apart, Joshua is the sone of a best friend from college Laura Love Smith)

Parters in crime, see all the breakable things they are like a magnet to the little fingers. He had a fun visit with Joshua!

Don't you love the smiles with the eyes closed!

A few more pictures!

He once fit in her for his baths, :( I can't believe how much he has grown! Now he climbs in the bathtub with his clothes on, I think he was trying to tell us he was ready for his bath!

Thank you Ashley for my cute birthday outfit!

I did it ALL BY MYSELF! And he is on top of the table in a flash!

We didn't know Da-da's new lunch box was a jungle gym, they are a bit blurry because these are action shots!

Hotdogs are much better all over your face with a bit of ketchup!

FINALLY!!

Well, I know it has been a while and our little boy has changed TREMENDOUSLY since the last update! We had computer problems for some time, then I got started with facebook and neglected the blog, and on top of that it has been busy and we have a fast little one to chase!!Thomas is now almost 13 months old, he is 29 3/4'' tall, weighs 23lb. 12 oz., started climbing about 10 months, started walking about 11 1/2 months, and finally has a whopping 7 teeth. He is HAPPY!!! and we are so blessed. He still sleeps good, eats good, always squints at the camera, and plays hard all day! We have had a fun filled summer! A trip to the beach in May, lots of time at the river (Thomas is definitely a river rat), and just working a lot in between. I am going to post some fun pictures, you won't believe your eyes when you see how much he has grown!!

Happy Birthday! WOW, What a difference one year makes!

10 months:Mommy's little sweeper, watch out Scout!!Our Beach trip:

ON THE MOVE!!

Well, another month has flown by and Thomas is getting FASTER by the day. Our Big boy is now 8 months old, where has the time gone? No more 'belly' crawling, he is on all fours and is gaining speed :)! He only crawls long enough to get to the next object to pull up on!! He is as sweet as ever and has two teeth shining on the bottom, they are steadily coming in but are not in all the way yet! Justin and I are SO!! blessed and count our blessings on a daily basis! I will certainly include some new pictures for you all to enjoy!

He often tries to escape after bathtime, we have to keep our running shoes on!

Thomas flies to the dishwasher door every time it comes down, he loves trying to help us load or unload it. It seems that we are doing more 'unloading' of Thomas out of the dishwasher or off the door!!

Thomas got a new swing for the back porch and you cannot wipe the grin off his face the whole time he is in it, it is a JOY to watch him!

Nothing is safe anymore. His Pop, my dad, helped him learn how to open the cabinets at my parent's house and he enjoys practicing on a daily basis!!

Shara, my sis, this one is for you!! Thomas in his St. Patty's day shirt!

Snow Day!!!

Well, it was great to wake up on the first day of March to a Winter Wonderland!! We were so excited to show Thomas his very first snow!! Who needs Colorado when you have Mississippi winters? HA!HA! Here are some pictures to enjoy. Thomas was so bundled up that he could hardly even bend in the middle. The sun was so bright we had to put his cap on so he could actually see the snow. His DaDa built a cool snowman for us to take pictures with!

Today was another milestone for Thomas, we had to lower his bed. We were afraid he was about to come over the top. We really noticed him trying to pull up some things today and knew it was definitely time to drop the bed before it was too late!

We put his "Craftsman tool belt" on so he could help DaDa move the bed down!

We didn't realize we were giving the boy a new teething toy by moving the bed down!

Another funny thing he likes to do is crawl through his ExerSaucer, and then turn around and fuss because he can't get out. Today we moved it up a notch, so I guess it will be easier now for him to get through it.

Another month gone

Well another month has come and gone and we are still wondering where it went. We have had another wonderful month with our precious baby boy. Justin and I are so thankful on a daily basis at the "sweet boy we have" and how much he like to laugh and play!! He is just as happy to play with a sack of potatoes he finds in the kitchen as he is any toy in his basket! We just never knew how much you could love someone!! It's a joy to see his smiling face EVERY single morning!! We are truly blessed and thank God daily for his blessings he continues to pour on us!!

Well one pretty day this past month Thomas got to take his first wagon ride around the neighborhood, he just kicked back and took it all in. Here are some pictures after we got back home. Thomas has gotten VERY efficient at "creeping" and moves at quite a brisk pace, nothing is safe anymore. He is rocking more and more frequently and is very close to getting those knees and arms coordinated. This first picture was taken of him UNDER the kitchen table. :)

This is one of Thomas' favorite ways to lay, I think he had observed his Daddy alot. He will just be moving along and then all of sudden just roll up on his side and take it all in, we laugh a lot!!

Well, that's all for now. I will continue to keep you posted on how much he is growing. Thanks for stopping by, we hope you've enjoyed the pictures!
