Hard to believe Thomas turned a year old on December 30th, 2014. The year went by so fast. Next year will probably be equally as fast, as Thomas becomes a big brother some time end of March or early April. He is a super fun little guy, always on the move and keeping his Mama, Daddy, and big brothers on their toes.
At this point:
- He hams it up for the camera, at least for the first few pictures and as long as he is not already crabby/tired
- He has 6 teeth
- Still takes the paci, mostly at night
- We call him Beiber baby or Hansen sometimes, because his hair is boy band-esq
- He is full on walking, although sometimes he looks a little like a drunken sailor, especially when he gets going too fast.
- He just walks right into things or steps on them, pushing stuff out of his way with his feet
- Eats a variety of things, but is picky about different things on different days. He likes to feed himself, now usually only taking a few bites of whatever the offering is from me.
- He can even do apples and carrots
- He will not sit still for a book, maybe only a page or two, even if it sings or rhymes
- He loves to climb just about anything, including whatever person happens to be laying in front of the couch, his favorite place to climb up to
- He LOVES to be outside, but he is not steady enough on his feet yet that Mama loves it.
- He really doesn't have any words and he grunts more than he babbles, but he makes what I lovingly call "the most obnoxious noise ever," which is something of grunt and a scream mixed together
- His favorite toys are his stacking cups and anything he can dump or take apart
- He can steer his little walker/push toy and the firetruck we have
In his handsome clothes for an attempt a Christmas picture
The attempts...
The booster seat: a great place to "lock him up" to get a photo
Sleepytime Elmo: the present Santa brought him. I have not yet caught the smile he gets on his face when Elmo's music comes on
He is also very into Tupperware lide
Birthday boy: before shots
Birthday boy: after shots. He needed the paci for that business
He can eat a piece of banana as a whole now, taking his own bites, rather than me breaking it up for him
He made it so hard for me to get a picture with the blocks saying "One Year." He kept picking them up to play with them.
Finally
Getting ready for cake
Jackson and Max told me Thomas needed an Elmo cake (the day before his birthday), I assume because Santa brought Elmo. I figured since he has a mom who "does cake" he should get what the boys were asking for, but I took the easy way, with a plastic Elmo on top.
Attempted some fondant as practice for another cake I am probably making in May
He stuck his fingers right into the cake, but would not dive in again after that. He is the third child that has not wanted to get cake all over himself
Night night to the birthday boy!
