Can you believe this little guy is already 5 months old?? I think this is the month that it has finally hit me! Thomas is growing up way too fast! Next month he'll be 6 months (half a year old!!!) Before you know it, he will be turning one! And then only 17 more of those and he's a full fledged adult. Yikes! sniff sniff.We are enjoying every minute of this little guy. Thomas is at a really fun stage right now, his little personality is just showing more and more everyday. We couldn't love our little boy more! Of course, he is just a handsome little devil, just like the day he was born. This boy is going to the first pick on every little girls mash list. He has really developed a lot in the last month or two. He is such a curious, alert little boy. Here are a few of the recent happenings:
Thomas discovered the playground! He loves the swing! he gets so excited, his little arms shake and he gets a big smile on his face. Its the cutest thing. Good thing we live right across the street from the park!
Thomas loves books! He really always has. Now I will just prop them up and he just loves to stare at the shapes and colors. Of course he also loves having stories told to him. He is so sweet.
Thomas has struggled with nap time. After reading many sleep books, he is improving and he is now taking his naps in his crib and falling asleep by himself. This is a huge milestone and I have noticed my stress level drop significantly. However, Thomas still only takes 30 minute naps.....unless he is in the big bed with mom. So for a temporary solution we have one nap together per day. Its pure bliss cuddling up to this little sweetie, and quite frankly I can use the rest too! it had been a long time since I was able to take naps! Sunday all three of us took one big long family nap. I loved it!
Either Thomas is trying to become a yoga guru attempting the downward facing dog or he is trying to figure out how to crawl! I know I can't believe it! He really wants to be mobile! He gets so frustrated just being stuck on the ground. He is going to be crawling before you know it!

He's so freaking cute.
Hard to even decide which picture I like the best. Maybe I'll have to print up all of them. He is adorable.
What a cute little dude, I love the little smirk on his face in a few of those pics. Glad to hear things are going well in the nap dept, that can be so frustrating.
Wow, you have been a blogging machine lately! I love all the new posts. I never made it to your art exhibit and that makes me sad...but I'm so glad you took pictures. You are so talented Laurie. I'm always looking forward to seeing what you come up with next (I still think about that book you made in college...amazing). I'm glad I got to see you!! And Thomas! He is so cute...he is your CLONE, it's incredible.
I love All the pictures! He is soooo cute and I can't believe he's almost 6 months! I wish I could meet him. :(. Who knows when that will be. :(
He is really cute. Jacob napped longer when he was in the bed with me too at that age. Looks like he will be an early crawler! It was so good to see you.
These are really sweet pictures. I think Thomas will be crawling and probably walking long before Jonathan...and that's a-ok with me! The only problem with that scenario is that I think it would be better for Jonathan and Peter's relationship if Jonathan became mobile sooner rather than later!
And as for napping with your little one, I think that is the greatest thing ever. I love to cuddle up with my babies and take a nap as they nuzzle into you. I wish Pete would still let me take naps with him too. I really miss that. So, live it up while you can because it doesn't last forever. Sniff, sniff!
