Thomas

Last week was Thomas's two month checkup. He weighed in at 12 lb. 8 oz. and measured 24 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 95th percentile for length. He has a little eczema (which should be easily cured with the right kind of lotion) and goopy eyes like Isaac did, but otherwise is very healthy and is on target for other milestones. Thomas sleeps well and eats well. He takes a great morning nap and then catnaps all afternoon, which is a little tricky for me because when he's awake he wants to be held and played with. It means I often get very little done in the afternoon. But I also get a lot of one-on-one time with him while Isaac takes his afternoon nap, so that is a bonus. We've started bathing the boys together in the big tub. We just place the baby bath inside the bathtub, and Isaac LOVES it. He loves to help wash Thomas with the sponge. As a side note, Isaac has also caught on to how we burp Thomas after he eats, so he has taken to coming up behind us, patting our backs, and saying "burp!". We often humor him with a fake burp, which we may regret at some point, but it makes us all laugh.

Thomas likes tummy time. He also likes to sit on my lap while I play the piano or type on the computer, and he loves watching Isaac play. His hair has lightened a little bit but is still brown, and his eyes, which we all thought were going to be brown, have decided to be blue. We are having Thomas blessed on Easter Sunday, April 24th, and are looking forward to several members of Walt's family traveling here for the occasion as well as my extended family coming for an open house before church.

We sure love this little guy. It's hard to imagine our life before him. So glad you're ours, Thomas!
