04.20.12. - Elbows Feet off the table!

First he put his feet on the table, then he started clapping his feet together, then he stuck his feet in his mouth. After all that, he flashed us his smile. He can get away with anything!

Might be hard to see in this frame but Tommy has a face full of bubble bath.

03.27.12 - "Still got some blogging to do"

Tommy got his first wagon ride tonight. We were about three houses down the block when Angie asked if I had my camera. I didn't but ran back to the house to get it. After snapping a couple of photos, I recalled yesterday's photo of Tommy sitting at the table. Two firsts in two days. Angie was quick to point out, "you've still got some blogging to do."

03.26.12 - Table for 5

Tommy got a booster seat for his birthday so he now joins us at the table for dinner although we've yet to bring ourselves to remove the high chair from the room!

03.24.12 - Tommy's first birthday party

We celebrated Tommy's first birthday today. The theme was puppies. As always, Angie outdid herself in baking the cake.








Puppy chow snack mixed served in a water dish, of course.


Get the family together and Maddie turns shy and crawls up on Grandma Shepherd's lap. She sulked for awhile.




Those are NOT real dog treats.


Finally, after three years of hosting birthday parties, we finally figured out how to comfortably accommodate everyone in our small living room.


The birthday boy cuddles with Grandpa Greg.


Each kid gets a balloon tied to their dining room chair on their birthday. We were disappointed that Party City no longer carries the giant "1" balloon. We settled for this uninspired cupcake instead.






I think Angie was more excited about the gifts than Tommy was.


We have no idea what sparked this reaction from Gramma Karen and Savannah.


Tommy's much anticipated chair arrived. He'd been pushing Nate's around for the past month or so, which didn't make Nate very happy.


He knows just how it works.

03.22.12 - The Best of Hey, Tommy!
