Thomas' Photoshoot

2009-06-23T22:36:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we met up with a few other local families and had a playdate/photoshoot with our favorite Santa Cruz photographer, Pascale Wowak. She took pictures of Thomas when he was born and they turned out amazing. Check out her website: http://www.fabphotos.biz/

I am always amazed at how great her pictures turn out. Especially when the kids are running around crazy and not wanting to take pictures.

Here are some of our favorites:

Irene & Luke's Wedding

2009-06-12T11:17:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we traveled to Tofino, Canada for Irene & Luke's wedding. We had a great time on our adventure. Thomas loved the beach and getting all dirty right before the ceremony. Thanks to Aunt Alicia for Thomas' awesome gray suit.

Check out all the cute pictures of Irene & Luke. Don't they look fabulous!!

Slacking...big time

2009-02-15T22:56:00.000-08:00

So I just checked our blog to see that I haven't updated it since Halloween. I hope everyone has been enjoying the Halloween music well into February.

Anyways, I will update everyone on the last few 4 months.

February: Thomas just celebrated his first birthday on February 10th. We all have officially survived the first year. We are celebrating this great achievement by having a cowboy birthday party next Saturday.

January: I worked a million hours, Josh started a new job in San Jose and Thomas started standing on his own (but not officially walking yet).

December: We celebrated our first Christmas with Thomas. He didn't care much about the presents. He was way more into the boxes and wrapping paper. I don't know why we feel like we have to buy him lots of toys when he really could care less. However, we continue to buy him more. :) Thomas and I travelled to Banning to see my parents and grandparents. Thomas is the first great-grandchild on my side of the family.

November: Thomas and I travelled to Las Vegas to visit Josh's side of the family for Thanksgiving. We had a great time eating lots of food and shopping. Nana and Papa White introduced Thomas to his first sip of Pepsi and first bite of ice cream. They needed to save Thomas from his organic hippie life.

9 Month Pictures

2008-11-24T12:21:00.000-08:00

Here are Thomas' stats:
Height - 30 inches
Weight - 18.12 lbs
Latest tricks - He can pull himself up on things now, which means he has fallen a few times and bonked his head. He is starting to say tons of baby words, but he mostly says dada. He loves pulling my hair and smacking me in the face. He loves eating puff cereal. He hates getting his diaper changed and getting dressed. He loves when the kitties walk by him and rub his face.

A face only a mother could love. :)

Happy Halloween!!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for Thomas.

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-28T21:40:00.000-07:00

A couple weekends ago we ventured over the hill to the great pumpkin patch in Morgan Hill. We went with Thomas' buddy TJ & family. We had a great time going on the hayride, train and walking through the corn maze.

8 Months Old

2008-10-18T22:09:00.000-07:00

Today we went to Sears for Thomas' 8 month pictures. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is officially sitting up and he has 4 teeth. He has his 2 bottom teeth and his 2 vampire teeth. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the top middle teeth will come. :) Thomas also started scooting around the house last week. He will be walking before we know it.

Hanging out with Dad

2008-09-28T19:30:00.000-07:00

Thomas got to stay home with dad a couple extra days last week because we was sick. I think he was faking it so he could stay home and play with daddy. :)

7 Months Old

2008-09-21T18:52:00.001-07:00

Today we took Thomas' 7 month pictures. We were slacking a little this month because today he is actually 7 1/2 months. He did really good this time and was flirting it up with the Sears photographer.

He's Talking!!!

2008-09-12T21:46:00.000-07:00

Thomas said his first word yesterday "daaaaaaaad". I am only slightly offended that it wasn't mama. But everyone keeps telling me that it's easier for babies to say dada. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
As you can see my the picture below, he is drooling like crazy. He's still working on getting his first tooth all the way out and I think the second one will be sprouting soon.

Adventures in Eating!!

2008-09-04T21:04:00.001-07:00

A couple weeks ago we started giving Thomas baby food. He has tried sweet potatoes, peas and carrots. We were told to start with the veggies first so he doesn't get spoiled on the yummy fruits. So far he loves everything. I think he would eat anything we put in his mouth.

He is also getting his first tooth. We can see this little white thing poking out of his gums. I guess it takes awhile before the tooth makes its way out.

Thomas' 6 Month Pictures

2008-08-16T22:26:00.000-07:00

Check out Thomas' 6th trip to Sears for his monthly pictures. He was in a much better mood this month. You think he would be used to it by now. :) He is one cute dude.

Thomas' Half Birthday

2008-08-10T22:35:00.000-07:00

Today Thomas is 6 months old. We took him to the doctor and he weighs 16 1/2 pounds (he has more than doubled) and is 27 inches long (that is 7 inches in 6 months). He is growing like a weed.

Trip to So Cal

2008-08-05T21:48:00.001-07:00

We took our first trip to Southern California this weekend. Thomas did great on the 6 hour drive. Here are some pictures of Thomas hanging out with Uncle Brad, Aunt Alicia, Skyler, Sierra, Quincy & Lucy.

TJ's Birthday Party

2008-07-25T10:36:00.001-07:00

Thomas and I went to our friend TJ's first birthday party on Sunday. TJ had tons of fun digging into his banana birthday cake.

4th of July

2008-07-17T10:59:00.000-07:00

Blythe, Brent and the kids came to Santa Cruz to celebrate the 4th of July. We had a birthday party for Lauren, which included listening to the Jonas Brothers and lots of singing and dancing by the girls. We took Thomas on his first beach trip where we spent most of his time sitting in the shade. Then on Sunday we had a water balloon fight. Brent did a great job getting water all over the house when he decided to throw a water balloon at Blythe through the kitchen window.

Thomas' 5 Month Old Pictures

2008-07-16T11:39:00.000-07:00

On Monday we headed to Sears for Thomas' 5 month photo shoot. Last month he was the best baby ever for his photos but this month was a totally different story. I blame his moodiness on teething, but I haven't seen any teeth yet. Anyways, he cheered up eventually after 20 minutes of crying. Isn't he the cutest!!
