GRowing, GROWing, GROWING...

Well, after waiting the last 2-3 months for a tooth…WE HAVE ONE!!!!!!! Tommy’s first tooth FINALLY poked through yesterday :-) I went to pick him up from Grandma Kathi’s (Tuesdays are the days my Mom has the Grandkids minus Hunter!) after work and thought I seen something white. My Mom told me she hadn’t noticed that there was a tooth. I asked her if she was sure, washed my hands, and shoved my finger in his mouth for my own feel :-) And to my surprise, I felt that little tooth!!!!!!! Maybe my Mom was lying and said that to make me feel better…either way it was a good way to end the work day! I guess he had been gnawing pretty well on a carrot during lunch that day. IT WORKED!!

I have also learned my son is not just human…he is also a MONKEY!! :-) He has been scooting around on his belly like an inch worm for a few weeks now. Within the last couple of days he has been a bit more daring and has tried getting up on his knees. He rocks back and forth, but no movement yet! He still manages to get where he needs to go though. And is getting into EVERYTHING already! He has also been trying to pull himself up on things. I noticed this the other morning when I was getting ready and the dogs were playing in Tommy’s room. There is Tommy pulling himself up on the side of the crib to check his doggies out, smiling away at me! He is such a cutie! He has also added DaDa to his vocabulary! Tom is pretty proud of that one. MaMa is still his word of choice though :-)

Last week Tommy & I went to see his doctor because his eyes were green and slimey. He diagnosed him with Pink Eye in both eyes AND a DOUBLE ear infection. But he is and was still the happy Tommy he is so famous for! He is amazing :-) I managed to get a touch of the Pink Eye, as well as my nephew, Ashton. We are all cleared up now though. Tommy just has to kick the cold he has had FOREVER!! I am so ready for summer and the warm weather that comes with it! No more of this cold, rainy crap. OH—and at the doctor we found out Tommy gained 3 pounds in 1 month! He is now a whopping 22 pounds…look out Ashton…Tommy will be bigger than you by his FIRST birthday and you will almost be THREE!!! At least Ashton will have a cousin to stick up for him :-)

I fell so bad that I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS to my cousin, Jess, and husband, Chris, on the birth of their 2nd child, Emma Carper. I think Troy is one proud BIG brother!!! Sorry guys, but Congrats again :-)

I suppose I should get going. I will try to upload some pictures later this week. Thought I’d give a little update! Hope all is well with you and yours! Until next time…
