Outside!!

Over the last few weeks when we would let Coal outside Thomas would have a fit to go too. So we would go sit outside and watch Coal. Well after a few times that didn't satisfy Thomas anymore and he wanted down. I took Thomas out front to play in the grass, only he decided the concrete was just fine to crawl on (he is still crawling much more than walking, but he can do it!!). He would have a fit if I picked him up, so he just crawled around.
Last week James and I took him outside to play. He crawled around and rode in his wagon. He had such a fun time.

This doesn't hurt, I promise!


Faster, faster!


Look Mom and Dad, no hands!

1 year appointment

We took Thomas to his 1 year appointment last Wednesday. He does not like to even sit on the wrinkly paper on the examination table. I think he already knows it means possible shots. He was so funny while we were waiting on the nurse to give the shots. He was pointing to the door, crawling to the door, trying to open the door. I think he just wanted us to leave before the nurse came back in! He had to get 2 shots. Of course he didn't like to get them, but was fine immediately after. I am so thankful that James goes to the appointments with us because I can't even look while they are giving Thomas the shots. Everything on Thomas checked out just fine.

Here are his stats:

12 months weight 23 lb, 7 oz
birth weight 8lb, 3 oz

12 months height 30.5 inches
birth height 20.75 inches

Visitors from Florida

Over Labor Day weekend James' dads family came to visit! They arrived late Friday night (I guess it was actually early Saturday morning!) and stayed until Monday after breakfast. We had a great time visiting with them. We don't get to see them as much as we would like because they live 7 hours away. We just make the most of the time we do get to visit with them.
Saturday for lunch we met Katrina's family at Chuck E Cheese. The kids had a fun time playing! Saturday night we went to dinner. Sunday we went to Katrina's house to visit, then back to our house for dinner and birthday cake for Mary. Here are some pics from our weekend!
