Nine!

Today, Thomas is nine months old. It is amazing how quickly the time has gone and how much he has grown. Each day brings something new...and usually it involves a bit of trouble. He still loves his sister, his blankeys, and his pacifier. He is great in the pool and loves to go underwater...today he was even paddling his arms while he was "swimming." He also stood up alone today at the YMCA...after we swam, we played in the splash pad for a bit. Thomas loves the running water...it's fascinating. I stood him in the middle of a fountain and let go, he was holding the streams of water so he thought he was being supported...but he wasn't and alone he stood, until he realized. It's just a matter of time before he is walking (no shit, right?)...He still isn't the best sleeper, but I guess I am not the strongest parent and will go to him as needed. Plus, he is cute and sweet and gives me snuggles and kisses...we are surviving happily.

Today was also a bit sad...we sad a final goodbye to our favorite pediatrician, Dr. Ng. She is moving up north to be with her husband. She cried (which made me cry) saying goodbye, she is awesome and I am so glad that she was our doctor...Lillian was one of her first babies...being a dork, I brought the camera in and took some photos...we sure are going to miss Dr. Ng!

Otherwise, we've just been living the dream here in South O...a little adventure mixed with a lot of routine...but that's how we like it...xo -ag
