Memorial Day 2008

Inspecting the bottom of the dog bowl... Very interesting.

Sweet angel.

Facing forward in the car...

ARRRRR! Scary T in jail.

Yes, that's a grease shield and a bunch of balls on the kitchen floor. Apparently, it makes a good racket.

Block party

Thomas got a new block table from Mama B and Big Al when he was baptized a week ago. We haven't been able to get him away ever since. Can you see how much he likes it?

Main Street Days

Mama B and my Nana came in town this weekend while B was out of town fishing for "work.":)
We went out to Main Street Days in downtown Grapevine on Friday and enjoyed the sights and sounds. Of course, we get parked and I realize I've forgotten my camera.

Here's a picture of Thomas' first pony ride courtesy of my mom's phone. Not the best quality, but it will work. He was so tired at this point, he almost fell asleep on the pony. People watching is hard work and will tire a boy out quick!

First Dance

We went to visit Julie at the hospital last night and Halle and Thomas were in rare form. Thomas thinks Halle hung the moon and is the funniest thing he's ever seen. Anything she did made him laugh. Of course, she just ate it up!
Anyway, she was dancing and "performing" for us and then started dancing with Thomas. Cutest thing I've ever seen and he thought it was pretty cool too!

Fountain time with Pop

One of Halle's favorite things to do in Southlake is to go to the fountain with Pop. Tonight, Thomas found out why. He put his feet in and then Pop let hime reach for the water squirting from the side. He kept squirting himself, but wanted to go back for more everytime. Looks like this is tradition is going to be a fave for all the grandkids!

Comin' to get ya'

Thomas is everywhere now and into everything. He's so curious and such a BOY. He's learning so much and amazing us everyday. He's started to copy sounds we make. The latest being "uh oh." If there's another "big" kid around, he watches their every move and is so frustrated when he can't do EXACTLY what they are doing.
Today, he found airplanes. He watched a couple land and was just enthralled.
Other interests of late- If it has wheels, he's totally interested in figuring out how to move it. If it's a ball, he wants to throw/roll/slam it. If it involves water, he's there in two seconds flat. The first thing he does when we come upstairs is crawl to the tub, pull up, and check to see if it's bath time. Let me tell you- he's a splashing champ come bath time. I challenge any other 11 month old out there and I bet he can outsplash them all!
He's still the happiest kid I've ever met and constantly makes us smile. We're so blessed to have him. What did we ever do for entertainment before June 6, 2007?

11 months old

Thomas is 11 months old today. Can't believe we're almost to the 1 year mark...

A boy and his drill

Thomas snuck up and stole Brandon's drill when he was hanging our blinds... He obviously thought he could help1
