RIVER RAT

Last Saturday John Thomas went on his first boat ride. We were gone for a while and he seemed to like it. This boy loves water but wasn't too sure once he got put into the river water (I'm not quite sure any of us are OK with river water). Scott and I hope to one day have a boat of our own to take him on. Thanks Henry!!!

Beach Trip

This was actually John Thomas' 2nd trip to the beach but he was only 2 1/2 months old the first time. We went with MiMi, Aunt Becky, Alicia, and Hadley and we had a ball. The kids were great and John Thomas really liked being out on the beach, for those of you who know me know I love the beach but I am not a big fan of the sand, John Thomas however enjoyed being covered in it. He raked sand into his swimsuit, had it in his hair, on his face, and managed to even eat a little. I have more pictures buit I have to wait for Alicia to email them to me. We can't wait until we get to go again!!!

Alabama Adventure

My little man LOVES the water. It scares me a little bit because he doesn't care how deeps he gets and he is constantly wanting to pu this face in the water.

3rd Haircut

So, I thought I would use these pictures as an example of everyone thinking my child is older than he is. This is his 3rd haircut but he was only 13 months old. We walked in and the lady suggested he sit by HIMSELF (gasp), but he did and he did just fine. Wherever we go people think he is at least 2. I hated it when he was infant and we would go somewhere and I would get mistaken for being way postpardem and people expect him to do things he couldn't b/c he looked so much bigger than he should. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier to have a healthy and growing boy. I am sad to say his hair grows way too fast though and he is already due another cut.

Easter

Well, this Easter was certainly eventful. We went to church and out to my Aunt Janice's in PG. John Thomas had no interest in hunting eggs although he ended up with 8 in his basket so he became $8 richer. A little after 2:00 Scott started not feeling well and then the madness started. Scott and John Thomas both had the stomach virus, John Thomas' temp got to 103 and just as I got everyone settled into bed and myself on the couch the power went out and was not restored until Monday evening. Mimi was a big help by bringing over some pedialite, 7up, and meds for Scott. John Thomas is some better and Scott is back to 100% finally.

Aunt Head

Heather (Head) and I went and got pedicures on Sat. and then she came over to hang out with Big'n. Aunt Head isn't used to having a little one at her house and she left the bathroom door open when she left. John Thomas managed to find the open door quickly and roll our house. Scott and I laughed and laughed at our little man. At least it was just 1 strand of toilet paper.

Dying Eggs

We decided to dye eggs on Sat. and I quickly figured out that John Thomas needed his own cup with water in it instead of dye. He broke 2 eggs by throwing them and cried when we started to clean everything up.
