First Steps

Well, Thomas finally took his first real, honest-t0-goodness steps this week! He doesn't do it often but every once in a while when necessary, he walks a very short distance. His preferred method of transportation is still crawling.

Finally got video of Thomas doing TOUCHDOWN!!


We're wondering if Thomas is headed for a career in cooking?! Every time I'm doing anything in the kitchen, with the dishwasher or the stove/oven, he whines and whines to be picked up so he can see what is going on. Sometimes I'll even put him in his highchair, in the kitchen, while I'm cooking dinner so he can watch. He is captivated! His grandparents have purchased him a play kitchen for Easter, so hopefully, he'll be excited to have his own cooking operation going on. (I hope!)

We've had some great play dates in the past week or so. On Monday we went to Duke Gardens. The weather has been so great recently (other than the rain), so we were itching to get outside. Thomas pushes everything he can get his hands on these days, including his stroller.


He is still eating pretty well. He eats whatever we eat. No more baby food, just the good stuff. :) He particularly loves pears and recently he's been devouring cereal bars and bananas, anything that he is able to take a bite of on his own. Overall, he's just a lot of fun. He's getting more and more strong-willed. (He gets that from his dad) ha ha :) No really, he's a sweet kid and seems to be learning new things every day. We cannot believe that in one short month, he will be ONE!! Can't believe our little guy has been with us for almost a whole year. My how things change in that first year and what a joy he has been!
