Is it Really Only the First Day of Winter?

Someone has already begun the countdown for winter to be over. He spends a lot of time looking out that window these days.

Our Adorable 10 month Old

Thomas is now 10 months old! He's in the double digits! Sheesh time just needs to stop. I am at a stage where I would just like to freeze time and have Thomas stay at this state for a little while longer. He is just so fun and so cute! Here is what our little bug has been up to.
This little fella is just too cute for his own good. One of my friends said to me, " He is just so handsome! How do you stand it???" Its true Thomas's good looks are a very frequent topic of conversation at our house. But can you blame us?

I'm happy to report that Thomas is doing much better in the eating department. In fact I kinda think he is starting to like it. Of course he is still very picky and will only eat certain things, but he will finish them and not scream bloody murder anymore. He loves mangoes and yogurt the most of all.
Thomas LOVES books. He loves to come sit in your lap and listen to stories. I think it is Clint's favorite part of the day. And Thomas's too! Clint was commenting that Thomas is such a wiggly and active boy and that it is impossible for him to sit still UNLESS he is being read to. He will just sit and listen to stories as long as he likes. He has also developed a strong liking to puppies. I don't know where this came from, but when he sees a picture of a puppy in one of his books he gets so excited he screeches and jumps! It is so cute!!!
Thomas still loves the bathroom. It brings him so much joy!

This boy is always up for playing and having fun! His favorite thing is to play hide and seek. He just laughs and laughs when he comes to find mom and dad hiding. It is so much fun!
A huge milestone for Thomas AND me is that Thomas is now sleeping through the night. Hallelujah! I'm telling you it has made the world of difference. That is one thing we will be doing differently with baby number 2 (a long time from now). Sleep training much sooner!!!!And his biggest milestone of all...He eats trash. No, just kidding ( He's been doing that for a while) Seriously folks, Thomas took his first step! He has started standing for a few seconds on his on off and on, and the other day he was holding onto my leg and trying to get to the recycling bin (He loves the recycling bin, it is like a much cooler version of a toy box) And then all of the sudden he lets go and takes one single step to the bin. I had to get a picture of his victory before I scolded him for eating trash. Love that little curious boy!

O Christmas Tree

Thomas helped me put up the Christmas tree this week. I'll give you a little hint by the look on this little boys face, he really likes Christmas!
Thomas wasn't sure what was going on with the boxes and wrapping paper, but he liked it!
A very curious boy investigating the Christmas Tree box
Just one final touch! There mom I think its complete!

And now for the lights!
And the best part about the Tree this year? The little boy underneath that looks at it with wonder and curiosity and all the magic of a very first Christmas.
