Generation gap

Despite his rather sombre expression in this picture, Thomas was delighted to spend time with his great grandmother during our recent vacation. Every time he looked at her, he got a great huge smile on his face. I think he was actually a little upset at leaving.

Get me away from these girls!

Tommy doesn't look overly thrilled at receiving a hug from Laurie.



Actually he quite enjoyed both giving and getting hugs from both Erika and Laurie.



Playing with Aunt Nadia was pretty fun too!

Mmm... Delicious, tasty fingers...

As you can see, Thomas has discovered that his fingers make a tasty, nutritious snack. We keep trying to convince him that, say, his actual food might be even better, but he has too much fun smearing food through his hair (and ours) to bother with something as trivial as eating it.

Seven Months Old!

Tommy is seven months old today...and pretty darned happy about it! This is just after he finished his cake and ice cream (actually it was rice cereal and pureed pears, but he enjoyed it nonetheless).


Tommy is not quite crawling, but he is still able to get where he wants to go...


Usually that is his shelf of books. Yummy, yummy books.



And he's already learned to keep a close eye on the girls. Especially Laurie and Grandma. You just never know what they're going to do, but as long as he keeps a hand on Daddy, he'll be fine.

Tommy gets visitors

Our friend Dave came over for a visit, and Thomas put him to use immediately as a snoozing couch.


And Travis came over the following weekend and, once again, Thomas put our guests to work. He's a very demanding little baby.

I just keep getting worse at this...

So it has been way too long again since I've updated the blog. Tommy and I have been busy and we haven't taken many pictures. Those we've taken have been awful. Luckily Grandma got some good pictures that I can share.


Mmm. He just can't get enough of that butternut squash!


He is just so pleased with himself for something!

Catch up

Okay, it has been a while since my last post...
Tommy had his six month bithday and was very happy to be celebrating it with his daddy.


...and a couple of days later he got the okay from his doctor to eat solids other than rice cereal. This was his first foray into squash.


...and for anyone who is worried, no, our son is not a Leafs fan. He is a dyed in red Sens fan. He does, however, accept gifts of other NHL wear that allow him to show his dislike of the other teams (in this case in butternut squash slobber).

I don't have any more pictures. Chris took off for a couple of days and took the camera with him. I'll get more food fun photos next week.
