So many things, so little time

Things keep getting busier around here. Here's a quick synopsis of the last two weeks- Thomas started his in-home daycare/play group when we got back from Mardi Gras. Ms. Deborah is a true Godsend. We miss seeing Aunt Julie and Halle everyday, but with Julie out of commission for the next 25 or so weeks, we found Deborah just in time.
He's already got a girlfriend (Julia) who's 10 months. (I know, an older woman already.) She's a champion crawler and so now he's started crawling and hasn't stopped. Oh, and he's figured out how to pull up... on everything. Can you say baby proofing? We spent all last weekend putting up gates, latching cabinets, and covering the landing railing with Plexiglas-ish material.
Mind you we did this all while harboring a sinus and ear infection with the added bonus of bronchitis. I believe that's known as a hat trick. See below for the snot covered fits we were throwing when we didn't feel well. He's also cut two more teeth- but not the upper middle. He's cut his eyeteeth next to his upper middle teeth. We might be calling him Fang for awhile.

Thomas has two favorite things now- anything with wheels and his yellow bat. In case you're wondering, he's all boy.

A boy and his bat.

The afore mentioned fit. Such a sad face.

Super crawler.

Tada!
