05.30.11 - Shhh! Two people are sleeping!


Actually, there were four little people sleeping when this photo was made. The other two actually happened to be in their beds.

05.29.11 - Coincidence


It's purely a coincidence, I'm sure, that nearly every time Tommy sees his Gramma Karen that he's wearing the leisure suit she bought him. :)

05.28.11 - Interested


Now, this is a swing Tommy can get into. Well, for a few more weeks, maybe. Holy cow! That kid is growing fast!

05.27.11 - Not interested


It was such a nice evening that we hit up Sedgwick County Park after dinner. Tommy wasn't much interested.

05.26.11 - First smile


Tommy cracked his first smile tonight.

05.25.11 - Focus


We're trying hard to get Tommy's eyes to align on their own. We've been holding things in front of him to focus on. He seems to notice them. I guess if he grows up to need glasses, we can totally blame his dad.

05.24.11 - Bath


We try to bathe him.

Total inside joke.

05.23.11 - Finger food


Late in the evening, we're trying to hold Tommy off on any "extra" feedings in hopes that he'll go to sleep and stay that way all night. We've had a few successes but overall it's pretty clear he didn't get the memo from his older siblings on what his sleep pattern ought to be!

05.22.11 - Conductor


Maddie is warming up (slowly) to music and Nate likes to dance. Perhaps Tommy will lead the orchestra!

05.21.11 - Boyz in the hall


Bathtime for three when Mike is away can be a challenge. But tonight Tommy and Nate waited patiently in the hallway while Maddie played in the tub.

05.20.11 - Hangin with the girls


Mike is out of town for a wedding today so we visited Nan and Pop tonight. Tommy got to be the center of Nan and Maddie's attention.

05.19.11 - Three's a crowd


One day, we're going to need a bigger sofa. Of course, that's assuming they like each other!

05.18.11 - Over on your left


To avoid developing a bad case of torticollis, we're encouraging Tommy to look more to his left as he has a strong tendency to look to his right, both when he's awake and when he's asleep.

05.17.11 - Little bit of a weight problem


Tommy appears to be a Fatty McFatterson here. And if you picked him up, you'd believe it. Like his mommy says, she feeds him eight times a day! In any event, it reminded us of this scene:

Michelle: "Want one?"

Tommy: "I'd better not. I have what doctors call a little bit of a weight problem. I used to grab bear claws as a kid, two at a time, and I'd get them lodged right in this region here."

05.16.11 - Grandma Shepherd


Now that Angie's back to work, Tommy gets to hang out with Grandma Shepherd during the day while the other kids are at daycare. She hates it, let me tell you!

Sunday, May 15, 2011

05.15.11 - Great catch!


Yes, you are, Tommy Boy. Yes, you are!

05.14.11 - Polka dots


Hey, the dots on this blankie match the dots on my diaper!

Friday, May 13, 2011

05.13.11 - Hangin' with Grampy Keith


Tommy and the gang are hangin' with Gramma Karena, Grampy Keith and Nan and Pop tonight while Mommy and Daddy celebrate their five-year anniversary a week early. Hey, everyone has three kids in five years, right?!!

Thursday, May 12, 2011

05.12.11 - Movin' and shakin'


Tommy enjoys some quality time with Nan.

05.11.11 - Three silly monkeys


Maddie and Nate taught their little brother how to jump on the bed tonight. Then, they wanted to pretend that they were going to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed. Silly monkeys!

05.10.11 - Lookin' good


His eyes, that is. We're still anxious to see Dr. Green next week.

05.09.11 - Torment?


If it looks like Nate is stealing Tommy's binkie, it's because it is. If it also looks like he's trying to give it back to him, it's because it is.

05.08.11 - I love Mommy!


Happy Mother's Day, Mommy! I love you!

05.07.11 - Special delivery


They're having a special at Angie's OB's office. Have three babies, get a free burp rag!

Friday, May 6, 2011

05.06.11 - Great deal!


Tommy draws an audience as he checks out his new Pack-n-Play. Nan found this practically new item at a garage sale for fifteen bucks and we love it! It's nice for Tommy to have a place to sleep in the living room where he's out of the reach of other curious toddlers.

05.05.11 - Moo, Baa ... Zzzzzzzz


The name of the book is actually "Moo, Baa, La La La" but the only sound we could hear was Tommy's little snores!

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

05.04.11 - Smitten


Gramma Karen stopped by today while on the west side. She's got five grandkids under the age of three but from the look on her face, Tommy could be the only one. She's smitten for all of them, though. (And Taylor and Savannah, too!)

05.03.11 - Smiles


Angie brought Tommy by KU today on her way to a doctor's appointment and he cracked a little smile. A couple of colleagues got to witness it and thought it was the cutest thing they'd ever seen. And it was!

05.02.11 - Ten seconds


Maddie wanted to hold her littlest brother again tonight. She's getting better at it. She's up to about ten seconds now.

05.01.11 - t-u-r-t-l-e


Maddie reads a book about the letter T to her brother, Tommy.
