Thomas turns 1

Two Days after Christmas Thomas had a birthday.  We made him a birthday cake in the shape of a ball in honor of his first word. Well actually it was his second word. The first one was a growl sound we taught him while playing with a dinosaur, but I guess that's not really a word.  Thomas is obsessed with balls and so a ball it had to be.

He was a little grumpy having just woken up from a nap.

This is his look when he's trying to scowl at you while he's trying not to smile.

 Then we let him dig right in.

Doug had to help him a little

We helped him open his present.

And I made him a toy bag for his animals

We had a little one year old photo shoot in our back yard. He is such a cutie.

At about about 11 months Thomas learned how to give the stink eye. For 2-3 weeks straight he would give everyone he saw this mean look. It was pretty funny. He was back to his smiley self when we took these pictures but I'd glad we caught this one. So cute.

At 1 year old he's so much fun. He pulls himself up and walks along the furniture but hasnt quite figured out how to walk. He can crawl up the stairs and will turn around to come down them. He is a smart little guy. He has 7 teeth and weighs about 20 pounds. We are having so much fun with him and are so glad he came to join our family.
