One

What a fast year. Must be the senility setting in because I am having a hard time believing Tommy is 1.

We thought we would have a birthday party, but the new fence is not done and the yucky chain link is not a good look.  :) We would like to purchase some furniture too, but Derek's truck broke down (needs a new motor) so we are having to put a down payment on a new truck for him. So, for now all of that is on hold. We spent some time with close friends which is all a 1 year old needs anyway. 

Here's what little Tom is up to these days:

- He did take some steps the other day, and will do it here and there, nothing consistent though

- Claps, waves a little bit

- I hear mama all day long now

- A tooth on the bottom is finally popping through, as I think some molars are in the works too (sleep is sucking these days)

- Loves to be in the pool/water and splash. Loves it.

- Loves to be with Bobby & Brooklyn, and lets out some good belly laughs

Havent been to doc for check up yet - we go Monday.

Have a good weekend everyone!

First Steps

Before the time gets away from me any more than it already has - Tommy took some steps today! We were at my mother-in-law's and he let go of her finger tips and took 3-4 steps towards me, fell down and started laughing. He seemed eager to try again, so he did, and fell down over and over.  Then about 10 minutes later he did another 4-5 steps before falling over. If he continues to show off like this he will be the earliest walker of our family. (Bobby was closer to 13-14 months, and Brooklyn was almost 14 months).

Exciting! I'll update later about turning one which happened saturday. Happy short work week to you!
