Pumpkin Patch 2009

Going to the pumpkin patch was the first big "adventure" we had after Tommy was born. He was only 3 weeks old when we propped him up against the big pumpkins just to take his picture. This year - he didn't fall over and he was the size of the big pumpkin!

Graduation from the Nursery Room

Tommy graduated from nursery school and hit the road running for the toddler room. It took a full week in the toddler room for him to get used to not having his favorite teachers: Ms. Courtney, Ms. Kaleigh, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Jessy

Birthday Boy!

Two days prior to the big birthday, I spent lots of time thinking about what I was doing and how I was feeling a year ago. It was ALL worth it! Here is some pictures from Tommy's first birthday party. We had a great time with the family, friends and so happy Tommy's teachers and classmates joined in the fun too!

Then we had a cook-out and played with our classmates.

Addison was surrounded by boys!

Tommy loved Aunt Stephanie's new puppy. His name is Nine.

Mason and Tommy are buddies and get into trouble together.
Tommy is two days older.

Then we opened presents... well, Tommy waited so patiently.

Let's Go Seminoles!

Then we had some yummy cake.

11 months and not a baby anymore

So yet again, I am a little late posting some pictures, but Tommy's Aunt Sharyl and Aunt Donna both reminded me to update the blog! Nana and Papa went with us to see Tommy's Aunt Joy (my sister) over Labor Day weekend and what an adventure it was!

Summer Time!

Catching up on a few Summer-time pictures of Tommy.

10-months old celebration!

So much is going on with our little man, its hard to keep up. Everyday he learns something new. In the past two weeks its been pretty exciting around here. He has mastered walking across the house and exploring the other rooms in the house, learned to say mama and dada (he definitely knows I'm mama and will yell for me if I leave the room), and waves bye-bye or hello. I am pretty sure he has been "waving" for a while but I am just now noticing that he does it without me telling him. We also snapped a video of Tommy walking around more than just a few steps. Since then he has mastered it all.... he is our little explorer. Watch out world!
