Pajama Party!

Who woke us up?

The Grandpas

Had a cookout at Grandpa Barney's house today and Thomas was lucky enough to have both of his grandpas in one house!

Fabulous 5 Weeks

We had a great week this past week!  Tuesday night, Randy and I went out on our first date since Thomas was born.  The best part is that we had sushi which I haven't had in almost a year!  Thursday night, I went out to dinner with 5 of my girlfriends.  Also, first time since Thomas was born.  Grandpa James came into town Friday for a week and Friday night Thomas slept from 11:30pm until 5:30am!  That is the longest he has ever slept which means, this is the longest that mommy has slept too.  :-)  Plus, daddy did the 6am feeding so I was able to stay in bed from midnight until 9am.  This morning Grandpa James, Thomas and I went to a couple garage sales and Grandpa bought Thomas his first football.  We are excited to have my dad here and have already put him to work on things like the new/old car, ac and misc stuff around the house.

He is honestly a natural with Thomas

What a big boy!

We had our 1 month appointment today.  Thomas is a healthy boy and doing great!  He is 11 lbs & 2 oz which is in the 95th percentile (50% is average) and 23" long which is in the 80th percentile (50% is average).  He does suffer from baby acid reflux, but the doctor gave him baby zantac.  We were wondering why he was so fussy!  How cute is this outfit?  Or, maybe it's Thomas that is SO cute no matter what he wears!  :-)

1 Month Old

Can't complain about this view :-)

Precious checks on him all the time.  It is so cute!

New calming technique?  Notice Precious?

We have hit the 4 week mark so we have introduced the bottle.
Randy loves being able to bond with him like this.

First Restaurant Outing!

 Ok so I need to get comfortable with taking Thomas out by myself so I asked Auntie Ashley if she would come over and go out with us somewhere.  I asked her to come along, but not to help at all.  (I haven't been able to carry his car seat until now)  Once we finally got out of the house, we didn't have time to go to the mall like I was hoping so we went out to eat.  It was pretty cool because we went to the same restaurant that my shower was at.  :-)  Thomas did GREAT!  See above picture for how good he was while at the restaurant.  I didn't really think about how bad it could have been until we sat down, but he was awesome!  Such a good boy!  Just like I was as a baby.  LOL

My next challenge is to go to Babies R Us with just Thomas and I this week.  I keep telling myself that if my cousin with 4 boys can do it (one of them is an infant), then I can do it with one.

Marina by the restaurant

This is the first pair of shorts that he has worn.  So cute!

Nana from AZ, Thomas and Precious.  We had such a nice week with her and
we are so grateful that she came to help us out!
