First Tooth!!!

Just some pics

Another day

Well the tooth hasn't completely emerged yet but I can still feel it. Since it has started it's emergence Tommy has been quite cranky. However he has slept through the night the last two nights. So I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

Almost there

Well in the next couple of days I should have some Teeth pictures for you. I felt something breaking through on Tommy's bottom gums this morning!!

Introductions

I would like you to meet my Chromosome donors....This one on the left is called Dad and this one on the right is called Mom.

Locomotion

Tommy so wants to be on the go. He does not have much patience anymore for his bouncy seat or excersaucer. However, he just can't seem to get the crawling thing down. He normally just ends up face planting. I have a feeling he might just skip crawling altogether and go straight to walking. He much prefers to pull himself up to a standing position and walk holding onto things. He hasn't quite learned though that when you stop you still have to hold on or you will fall. Thankfully that diaper provides lot of padding.

Michigan

As most of you know Brooklynn and I went to Michigan this August for 2 weeks. We had lots of fun with Nana and Pappa. One night after we had dinner we all decided to go to Dairy Queen for a little treat. Brooklynn had her first Ice Cream cone, and as you can see she liked it very much. By the time she was done her neck and her chest were practically stuck together. The picture of her in the bath is after we got home, I think she had her limit of ice cream.

Brooke

Can you see mysnot?

Poor little Tommy has a summer cold. Along with his grandma Gardner, Aunt Brooke and cousin Brooklynn. We are not sure who was patient zero.

Hello there!!!!

Put your right foot in....

Dear God...

Are you sure these are MY parents?

Sleep

Well if I have talked to you lately I am sure you have heard me lament about Tommy's sleep habits or should I the lack of. For the past couple of weeks he has been waking up about every two hours and screaming for about 20-30 minutes while we try to comfort him. Well last night, after polling all the grandparents, we gave a full does of Tylenol and let him cry out his first waking (at 11:00pm) and lo and behold he did not wake up again till 4:00am. YEAH!! Hopefully tonight will be even better. The concensus was that it might be his teeth was waking him up and he did not know how to go back to sleep by himself. So keep your fingers crossed.

Surprise!!!!

Everything must go in my mouth!

New Cousin

Meet Matthew Jin-Won.
This is picture of Tommy's newest cousin. His Uncle Chris and Aunt Sara are planning to go get him from Korea in the next few months. He was born on June 3rd, just a little under 7lbs. I think he might give Tommy a run for his money on the cuteness factor.

Congrats! Chris and Sara.

special visit

Tommy had a special visit with his Nana and Papa this week. They Brought Brooke and Brooklynn back from Michigan and stay with us for a couple of days. Tommy thought his Papa was very funny and he finally taught his Nana how to feed him his bottle.

Eye Appt.

Well Tommy had his first Eye Doctor appointment today. Thankfully he is not taking after his parents yet, he has perfecr vision (well for a 6 month old anyway). The doctor said he could unblock his tear ducts now or we could wait till he is 12 months old. I opted to have it done now but now I am starting to rethink my decision. They have to put him to sleep for the procedure and the more I think about them putting Tommy to sleep the more apprehensive I get. The chance of something happening is very slim but still :-( The Procedure isn;t until Sept 22nd so I have some time to think about it at least.

He takes after his mom

I think I have an accountant on my hands. He loves to play with my calculator and yesterday he kept make a "1" with his hand like he was counting. He just couldn't quite get that second finger up for "2" but we are working on it. I will have to see if I can get a picture of it.

Brooklynn's trip to Michigan

Brooklynn and I are in Michigan this August for two weeks to visit with her Nana and Papa, those are the cute names she calls her Grandma and Grandpa Boda. We are on our second week now and having lots of fun.This past Thursday she went to a water park with all her cousins, including her new cousin baby Erica. They were so cute together and Erica would get so excited with Brooklynn running around in the water. We had a big Family dinner at Dad and Ellen's house so all the new cousins could meet. This picture shows that night, her and Erica had so much fun with the Bubbles. Brooklynn new favorite thing are bubbles, she walks around the house saying bubbles, bubbles. We are both having such a great time,and I'm so glad that she is getting to spend alot of time with her Nana and Papa.

Firsts

Well this week Tommy had a couple of "firsts". He sat in a restuarant high chair for the first time. He just thought it was the coolest. Now he can reach lots of stuff on the table and also reach out and grab the wait staff and whoever else happens by. He also rode in the front of the shopping cart. I had to make sure not to get too close the shelves though since the sticky fingers want to grab everything. He is still sorta small for the grocery cart to I had to make sure I did not make any sudden stops or turns.

He also slept through the night again last night!! He started whining at around 2am buthe just wanted his pacifyer and then fell right back to sleep till around 7am. He is such a good boy. Now if I can just get him potty trained :-)
