HAPPY BIRTHDAY THAD!!!

Happy birthday to our big one year old!

We love you so much! What a gift this last year has been!

11 and 11 1/2 months

Ok, I'm not being a very good blogger. Thad turned 11 months a few weeks ago and I have not had a chance to post an update. I feel like in the few weeks since Nov. 15 he has changed so much! Here is what he was doing at 11 months.

• He continues to pull up, cruise and is constantly on the go! He is a really fast crawler now and we are wondering when his first steps will be.
• He has learned that he does not always have to do what we want. Yikes! He all of the sudden does not like to have his diaper changed and will not stay on his back (this is a problem with poopy diapers!)
• He weighs 21 lbs, wears a size 4 diaper and size 12-18 month clothes.
• He knows what a lot of words mean and tries to say them - ball, light, hat, shoe, kiss, toy, doggie, kitty, tree.
• He LOVES animals especially cats and dogs!
• His favorite foods are pears, toast, prunes, applesauce and chicken/turkey.
• He loves magazines, books and paper.
• He still loves water and taking a bath.

UPDATE at 11 1/2 months: A few things that are new...

• He is dancing.
• He can stand for a few seconds on his own.
• He figured out open drawers and cabinets (trouble!).

Happy Birthday Dad!

TURKEY DAY B-DAY!

Happy birthday dad! You are the best! I love you!

PS Go Bears!

Big Boy Haircut

Thad got his first haircut yesterday. My hair stylist cut it. He was a wiggle worm, but somehow she managed to give him a trim. It looks great!

Merry-go-round

First Trip to the Zoo

We took Thad to the Zoo for the first time and he loved it! His favorites were the elephants and the goats in the petting zoo. We had a great day and ended it with his first ride on the merry-go-round.

Halloween

Thad was a skeleton for Halloween.

He helped carve pumpkins and daddy even took him trick-or-treating with his cousins!
