Tommy at 9 months!

Dr. J. says Tommy is looking great. Weight is up to 18.6 pounds, length 29 inches. So he's long and lean at this point. To be expected considering how much he's moving and shaking. Still no teeth! Dr. J. says there seems to be a little truth to the old wives tale: The later the teeth come in, the fewer problems they'll have with them later in life. Hope it's true!

As promised: Crawling Video!

Crawling!

No video to post yet- but we made actual forward progress this weekend! Will hopefully have movement captured soon!

Little Husker Fans!

Tommy had a great time this weekend at his first Husker party! Thanks to cousins Kyle and Molly for hosting the great shindig! All of the Big Red babies had a blast playing together!! Tom especially liked borrowing cousin McCoy's tricked out exersaucer :)

The Best Toys Aren't Toys at All...

Fun with the car seat.

Daddy dressed him... first time in Chiefs gear!

My Parents went to KC and all I got was this hat!

We had our first night away from Tommy to catch a Royals game and hit Worlds of Fun. We've both had Tommy by ourselves, but this was his first night away from both of us! He did great for Putty and Grampy (my parents) woke up at 4 a.m.... but I guess it could have been worse! We missed him and of course picked him up a little souvenir!

Tommy is Eight Months Old! (Barely)

So big! So happy! Just don't look at the scrapes on his forehead. The ones for which I am responsible. I post this fearing that the state health department might come to my door and revoke my mom card. Friday night Marc and I were getting ready for a quick run to the grocery store. He handed me Tommy so I could pop him in the car seat. I picked up my smiling happy baby and preceded to toss him in the air as I often do. The next 2 seconds happened in slow motion.

"THE FAN!" Marc yelled. Too late. Apparently I didn't notice it was on or how close I was to it. Luckily it was just a graze.. and Tommy's tough!

Cousin Riley also had a solution: that pink Hello Kitty bandaid. I think that horrified Marc more than the original injury.
