Something New & More Happy Boy

One day I will turn this blog into a book and I know these videos will not convert, but I just have to share this happy time with all my family in Alabama.

p.s. Thanks Mom and Dad for the super high tech video camera. Now that we are finally understanding all of it's features, we love it and use it everyday!

When Thomas Wakes Up From A Nap...

.... we have one VERY, VERY HAPPY BOY!

Our Trip to the Safari Park

We visited the Safari Park today and it is very cool. When we started off Thomas drove us around the field. Don't fret, this course was completely closed and Thomas was assisted by a seasoned driver, his dad.We saw this little fella below. Nice saddle oxfords don't you think?
At the front gate you could purchase buckets of feed. As we made our way around the field, we held out our buckets and the animals came hungry.

All were eager to visit/eat except for these rascals. They never looked up as we inched by.

The herd of zebras were famished..... they devoured the last of our buckets.

Thomas engaged one zebra in a stare down. Mr. Zebra won and in Thomas's defense there were just too many to focus on just one. The highlight of our trip was getting to feed carrots to Jerry. One thing he and Thomas have in common, they both love their carrots!

Happy September

Thomas has been enjoying this beautiful fall like weather. Today the high was 82 degrees, a perfect day for spending some time in the yard.

Have I mentioned that Thomas is getting in a crawling stance and then rocking??!!

6 Month Sneak Peak

Dear Thomas,

The first picture has a certain sentimental value. You grandfather is THE John Deere man in all of West Tennessee. He sells John Deere equipment, which definitely qualifies him as a local celebrity. The hat you are wearing in this picture was a gift from him and the tractor you are playing with was your father's and has sat on your grandfather's desk for years.

We've Been Shot

We visited the pediatrician this week and we proudly report we have a healthy, happy, and BIG baby boy.

Thomas you weighed 19 lbs, 6 oz (90% percentile)

And were 27 3/4 inches long (75%)

You are never happy about getting shots. This time you gave the red faced silent cry. But by the time we made it home, you seemed to have shaken it off.

We decided to celebrate with pears.

Which you seemed to thoroughly enjoy.... until I took to much time taking pictures.

And just for a little flash back these were our numbers from the doctor's visit before.

You weighed 14lbs. 8 oz. (60% percentile)

And were 25 3/4" inches long. (50% percentile)

Here are some pictures from that day.

Happy 82nd Year Pappaw

We celebrated Brian's grandad's 82nd birthday last night at the lake.
