Loud & Strong

Whaddya lookin' at?

So it's been awhile since I got something up here - we've been busy! Our boy continues to change at an astonishing pace and for the past few weeks we've found him so amusing that it's been hard to find time to write. Well, we've also been a little slowed down by the headache-inducing construction noise from the kitchen, and the fact that Fall has clearly arrived, so I feel compelled to get out of the house & enjoy the beautiful days while we can - we've been taking a lot of walks. The good news is that this means there are lots of pictures and videos to post!

First, since we've used the stroller a little more of late, here are some pictures of Thomas enjoying his stroller.






Hi Daddy!






Hi Grandpa Yves! Grandpa Yves visited on Sunday the 21st. He was amazed by Thomas's talking and his intense desire to stand (holding our fingers).


As you can see, the stroller often puts Thomas to sleep.
But don't worry, he's not just squandering his days away by sleeping - oh no, Thomas is practicing talking. Just listen:





He also loves to stand (as long as he's holding our fingers).











And he's even trying to sit - well, I'm not sure "he" is trying...







Though, to be fair to Thomas's parents, just tonight he's been "sitting" on his own for up to 10 seconds - well, if you count having your hands flat on the floor on either side of your legs as sitting! Still, it's pretty impressive since he's not even 4 months old - oh, and he's desperately trying to move across the floor on his tummy - I'll keep you up to date on that!

I'm still trying to get a video of him rolling over & I swear I will get him laughing some day soon. He loves to laugh - and in the last 10 days or so he's begun to love to be tossed (gently) in the air or "flown" - he laughs and laughs whenever we do that - or when we sing "Barbara Ann" by The Beach Boys - or when we say "Fee Fi Fo Fum!" Pretty much everything makes him laugh - and then I laugh - and then he laughs...

(And now I need to get to bed. I've had quite a fight to get some of the pictures and videos to format properly but somewhere along the way I accidentally published this, so I felt obligated to at least try to get things done right - but I've tried plenty & bed sounds great right now - so Good Night!)
