DRUM-ROLL, PLEASE!!!!

Tommy is on the charts!!

Oh, you ask what charts? He's on the infant growth charts that the doctor use to track his growth. And before you wet your pants...he's barely on the bottom line -less than the 5th percentile!!!! ANd adjusted he's about 40-50th percentile for a 6 month old!

Yes, I DO have good reason to think he's heavy now. The kid weighs 16 pounds, 7.8 ounces....yes, in my book he's 16 1/2 lbs!! And a few hairs away from being 27 inches long! Man oh my, he's not the preemie we thought he was anymore!

Oh, and if that news wasn't exciting enough for you, there's more! See, Tommy is 9 months old today -to you this may only mean Christmas is 3 MONTHS away!!! So, after his weigh-in we headed to get his pictures done. We did his pictures, he did great especially for being EXHAUSTED. We even reproduced Robby's 6-month old pose...I'll post it in October when they come in. As I was reviewing and trying to pick out which pictures to buy (Larry would say TOO many) I realized that at his 6 month old sitting he could not sit and we couldn't do the all time traditional bath pose. So, the photographer was MARVELOUS and took Tommy back in to do a few bath shots.

Wake up, wake up....here's the good part. That stinker sat in the tub (kind of like a widemouthed water pail), put his hands on the edges and STOOD UP...like he'd been doing this for weeks. I literally screamed "snap the picture" to the lady...I felt bad afterwards (and apologized for sounding rude)...but how many moms can say they caught their baby's first pull-up during the photo shoot?!?!? The photographer was tickled as at first she had no idea he'd never pulled up before!

Uh, dah.... can't believe I forgot...

Seriously, HOW does a mother forget when her baby becomes mobile?? Okay...so the same day the kids were playing in the sprinkler....when I got them in their bath to warm up I left Tommy on the floor in the living room. When I came back 10 or so minutes later, Tommy was wedged in between the couch and recliner. What was the motivation...D-I-A-P-E-R-S ???? Yep, I tell you the kid loves to "try" to chew on diapers, clean ones of course??? Here are the pics...pardon the mess...still have pictures to hang and a few boxes to fully unpack and place somewhere...maybe in our next house. Hehehehe... Tommy was placed right near the red toy in the bottom left corner, he loves playing with that one.





















OH, Robby won his football game on Sunday too....I didn't see it as I was in the concession stand....
