Dancing with daddy

Whenever we put music on in the house Thomas comes right over to one of us and wants to be picked up so he can dance with us.  He likes to be dipped and swirled, but most of all he likes to just lay on our shoulders and enjoy us swaying to the music.  He is such a little lover!

Poor Precious

Thomas loves Precious and lays (I mean plays)  :-) on/with her all the time.  Sometimes he can get a little rough and now that he is heavier than her I have to separate them.  Precious will just lay there and put up with being laid on and being hit by books.  Such a good doggie she is!

Thanksgiving

I feel bad, but the only pictures I got of Thanksgiving was Thomas and a turkey leg.  Ha Ha

We went over to Sonia's house for an amazing dinner prepared by Sonia, Ashley and I and then went over to Tio Joe's for dessert.  We had such a wonderful day with our family and felt so blessed.  I sat at the table and thought 'wow, next year we will have 2 precious little boys'.  Lots to be thankful for!

Breakfast of our champion

Eggs, yogurt and a cute smile

Our little bookworm

Thomas absolutely LOVES his books.  You will see him carrying at least one book all of the time.  When we do have to take a book away (i.e. bath time, eating) it is a struggle.  Any chance he gets, he will sit in our laps and have us read.  He will also hand books to us to read to him.  I am telling you, this child doesn't even play with his toys, just books.  Thanks to his love for books he has learned to point to many objects, he will say what some of the things are in the book, he will make the sounds of the book and he has learned lots of new words.  This little man is smart!

When he was about 1 years old we signed him up for a program at the library called 1000 books before kindergarten and he is already at 500.  Makes it easy when that's all he wants to do.  So on a typical day his books end up scattered ALL over the house.  We think he is going to ask Santa for more books and then we will donate some of his older ones.  :-)

Toy box, slides and buckets

Thomas loves to get in his toy box, empty or not

Going down a big slide with daddy

Silly boy.  It's really funny when he pushes his golf bag around while wearing the bucket :-)

Peek a Boo

Where's Thomas?

There he is!

Halloween #2

Randy's very first pumpkin carving

We think he did a fantastic job!

Thomas as a cowboy for Halloween.  We didn't make it out trick or treating because he wasn't feeling well, but I had to at least dress him up the next day.  Isn't our little cowboy a cutie?

Searching for the perfect pumpkin for daddy to carve

21 Weeks!

I can't believe that we are less than halfway there to another little blessing!  In about 4 months we will have another sweet baby boy.  Wow, time flies when you are chasing a toddler.  :-)  We are glad too because we are excited to meet this little man.

Thomas thinks my belly is funny.  He pulls up my shirt and points to it (even if I am wearing a dress).  Sometimes I will chase him around the house and he just runs around laughing.  He also gives my belly a hug and kiss.  Randy says "daddy won't even do that".  Ha Ha

Chicken!

This has to be my favorite word so far!

P.S. We normally don't have the tv on, especially while he is eating, but it was the Redskins game.  :-)

Digging for gold

How can you not love this kid to pieces?

It's a BOY!!!

Had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and got some amazing news!  We are having another boy!  Luckily we make cute, sweet, little boys.  :-)

Eating with a fork

Last week Thomas started to eat with a fork.  He is so cute stabbing at the food.  It's funny when he gets frustrated and just picks up the piece of food with his fingers.  He is growing up so fast!

Cute and he knows it!

Spruce Creek, PA

Playing with his golf club and balls, probably the best $1 we have spent on a toy

Last weekend Thomas and I spent the weekend at a cabin/hunter's lodge with our family.  We had a wonderful time visiting with the Miller family, visiting with Chad, playing outside and eating!

The cabin

Thomas loved seeing the cows up close and they were not shy at all

Amy and Leslie teaching him how to do the pirate "Arrrr"

Thomas playing cards

Chad, Kobie and Thomas playing with Kobie's new remote control car

Looks like a pretty serious conversation :-)

Driving Chad's new car

Have you ever had someone in your life that when you see them, you miss and love them even more?  I sure wish we lived closer and saw Chad more.  I love and miss him dearly.  So lucky we got to see him!

Amy and Leslie fly fishing

Free Zoo

Thomas LOVES animals, so what better place to take him but a pet store?  He gets so excited and squeals while pointing to the animals.  I love watching him light up and you can't beat the price.  This is until he wants us to buy the animals.  :-)

Grandma & Grandpa Hammock

A wonderful visit

Lots of reading

 A couple weekends ago, Aunt Judy, Uncle Roy and Aunt Sharon came to visit us.  We had such a great time with them.  I got to take Aunt Sharon and Aunt Judy to A.C. Moore for the very first time.  I think we hit every single aisle.  Ha Ha  We also took a nice walk at Yorktown Beach and took them to our local restaurant at the marina.  We were so lucky that they stopped to visit us on their trip across the US and back!

Taking a walk with Uncle Roy

Went for rides on Aunt Sharon's walker

Wrote all over Aunt Judy's crossword puzzles and made silly faces

Watched some football

Guess What?!?!

Yep!  Someone is getting a little brother or sister in March.  :-)
