A Walking Boy!

Thomas is finally starting to venture out and walk without holding on to things. On Thursday night he kept walking back and forth from me to Ryan. He would get so proud of himself when he would make it all the way without falling. He would clap is hands and with a huge smile say, "yeeeeaaaahhh". Very Cute!

Here I go!

Look at me go!

Happy Easter!!!

The Easter Bunny came after Thomas woke up from his nap. Thomas has finally figured out that there are toys underneath the wrapping paper. It was a lot of fun watching him open his presents! Ryan taught him how to Easter Egg Hunt. Thomas at first did not get it and kept taking the eggs out of the basket as Ryan was putting them in. However, he quickly caught on and followed Ryan around the room to find all of the eggs.

One of the things that was in his easter basket was a Mr. Potato Head. I put some pictures up of him trying to wear Mr. Potato Head's glasses.

First Hair Cut with the clippers!

The night before Easter we decided to give Thomas a hair cut. It was quite traumatizing for him. I decided to use the clippers this time, thinking that it would be faster and easier. Well it turned out that Thomas was terrified of the clippers. We managed to get his haircut and then tried to get him in the tub. He seemed to be fine until Ryan sat him in the tub with his clothes on and then turned on the water, which of course was cold (poor Thomas). We finished the bath with me sitting in the tub with of course my sweatpants and sweatshirt on, holding Thomas. I think next time I will be using the scissors again.

Ryan's Birthday 3/9/08

So on Ryan's birthday we were over at the Bishop's house watching their kids. So the plan was that we would just celebrate Ryan's birthday the day after. However, Emily and Rachel (friends from church) decided that we should have a party. So Emily made a cake and the Clark's brought over the ice cream. It was a lot of fun. The best part for Thomas was making a mess with the cake. The best part for me was that I did not have to make a cake. The best part for Ryan was he got a cake on his birthday!

Climbing on the Table 3/13/08

We have a real problem! Thomas has learned how to climb. His favorite thing to climb is up on the table. He also has learned how to climb up the audio towers next to our TV. Despite the many falls he has had, he is till determined to make it to the top!

Baby Shower 2/28/07

My friend Emily and I planned a baby shower for one of our friends, Kristin. It was a lot of fun to do. Since she is having her third boy, we thought that we would do something a little different than a traditional shower. So we had a "pamper party". The guests were asked to bring something to pamper Kristin with or a pack of pampers for the baby. I made a diaper cake for decoration, and also made fondue with a fruit arrangement. I really should have used a vase that was not see through (but I did not have one). I also found a really good recipe for a punch on the food network web page. As I was leaving my house with all of the good food, Ryan asked me why I did not make this stuff for him more often. I think he was feeling a little left out. I did bring him home some left overs though!
