My Favorite!!!

This is a photo my friend Rachael took for John Thomas' 6 month pictures. She does a great job and I highly reccommend her. I have some others I was trying to post but my comp. is acting up. I will try to get them on here as soon as I figure out the problem. You can see Rachael's work at www.rachaelspencerphotography.blogspot.com

Pulling Up

We ar officially pulling up on everything! There is no dance next week so I am going to catch up on some posts and try to plan some fun things for the family to do. I will take LOTS of pictures.

"no"

John Thomas has yet to realize what the word "no" means. I can scream it as loud as I want and he will stop long enough to smile at me but never stops what he is getting into completely. I ran to grab the phone the other day and came back into his room and found him on the bottom shelf of the changing table. Once he got up there he got a little scared at getting down and started to whimper. Excuse Libby in the picture, she seems to always make into the shot.

New Shoes

We had to go to Stride Rite to get John Thomas some shoes. His feet are SO wide that no cheap shoes would fit him. Leave it up to my child to need expensive things. He was extremely good while the lady measured his foot and then tried his shoes on him. The only problem we had was when I set him down to try crawling in them he fell over and bumped his head. I am suprised you can't see the red bump that came up on his forehead. After getting to play for a while and be carried around the galleria (I'm sure we looked like idiots with an empty stroller) all was well. He is such a happy little fella and we feel really lucky to have such a good baby. I thought it was sweet that they take their picture with their first pair of shoes.

Playing on Mommy and Daddy's bed

John Thomas came into our room and played on the bed with his Daddy while I was folding some clothes. In the 2nd picture you can see that we now have our "2 Front Teeth" in time for Christmas. The 2 teeth on the sides of his top teeth have actually already cut through and you can even see them now. We hae a busy week and weekend ahead of us. Saturday we get to go to Hadley's (Alicia's little girl) 1st Birthday party and we can't wait.

Still a Favorite

The excersaucer is still one of John Thomas' favorite toys, but instead of sitting in it he enjoys crawling in and out of the bottom. Everytime I think I am going to put a toy away and get it off of my floor he finds a new way to enjoy it.

Look What We Grew

Big'n sure did enjoy Halloween. The costume didn't seem to bother him too badly, he had a few visitors, and even went Trick or Treating. We are ready for the holiday season and can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

1st Haircut

Yes, I know he is a little young to have already had a haircut but his hair was constantly in his eyes and his sides were grown out longer than the rest. I just wanted it cleaned up on the sides but the hairdresser got a little excited and cut more than I wanted, but it will grow back. He was SO good and would only turn his head if I snapped a picture.
