Happy First Birthday Tommy!

Yesterday was Tommy's first birthday. I can't believe how fast this last year went, and how fast my baby has grown! We had our families over for cake and ice cream. Tommy didn't quite now what to do with all of the attention! He was a little timid with the cake at first, and then he really got into it by smushing it in his hands and pretending he was rubbing in lotion (it's so funny-whenever he sees me rubbing lotion on my hands he rubs his hands together too!) I just want to tell my sweet little boy how much I love him, and how grateful I am to be his mommy.

Here are a few things about Thomas at age 1:

• He loves to cuddle and when I pick him up he always gives me pat on the back


• He always has a smile (well, almost always) on his face and loves to laugh


• His favorite toys are cars and he loves to drive them on the ground


• He also loves to look at books and point to the pictures


• He is a very good eater and will eat just about anything I put infront of him


• His hair has awesome body and will not lay down no matter what I try!


• He finally started crawling on new years eve!


• Most of all he is a little angel who brings me so much joy

I love you Tom Tom!

The Birthday Boy!

Not quite sure what he should do . . .

Now he's got the hang of it!

Opening his super cool digger truck!

Taking the truck for a spin just he before he tipped over!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was so fun because it was Tommy's first one, and it he had a great time with the wrapping paper! I ( "Santa") did indeed get Alexis what we call a "pogo stick ball." At first sight she did not want anything to do with it, it was not indeed a "stick", but after telling her that Santa thought this one would be a little safer she warmed up to it! The day after Christmas my whole side of the family flew to Maui. It was my first time to Hawaii, and we had so much fun! The Kids were in heaven! It was a little overcast and rained a couple days, so we didn't come home with a tan, but we did come home rested, relaxed, and in need of a vacation from our vacation!
