Library day

Gymnastics fun

A great 4th birthday party for Avery's friend Ryan at the Little Gym. 

Ocho!

Six teeth in and two more close behind. Thomas is pulling himself up and curious about everything. He doesn't sit still much these days and in fact had too many things to see and do to lay on his back for his monthly pictures. 

Friend of the week!

Our happy, speed-crawling baby is the class "friend of the week." Extra sweet potatoes and pears? Absolutely. 

World's Fair at School

Each classroom at Avery and Thomas' school represented a different country with various art and experiential activities. There was a passport and Avery, of course, got a stamp for visiting each and evey country. Ethiopia (her previous toddler class) and Egypt were favorites. 

Time to lower the crib

Can't believe he is already standing in his crib. He might have heard Avery talking about the bunnies on the trail and he wanted a peek. 

She'll keep him

With Thomas getting more and more active, Avery is loving him a little more each day. She wants to carry him, but will settle for holding him on her lap till he gets too wiggly.

No pinching here

On all fours

One minute happily playing on a mat with some toys, the next he is headed for the dog food (photos taken by Avery).

Speedy

Thomas is zooming around the house using his army crawl. He escaped out of one of the bedrooms and Avery gently pulled him back in. He thought it was the best game ever.
