Big Boy

My baby's growing up......

After whooping it up for "the big 1" last night, we spent a pretty low-key day at home today. Thomas spent the entire day scooting around the house, hanging onto his hockey stick. He was getting so good with it that he was even hitting things with it as though he were actually playing hockey. Thanks to the new ball pit in the living room, there were plenty stray balls to keep him occupied throughout the day.

Now that Thomas is one, he is beginning to do big kid things. He now can pull himself up to standing! He stood at the couch, trying to see what his big sister Melissa was doing up there. He was so proud of himself when he realized what he had done. Melissa was so excited and proud of him too! He managed standing for almost 2 minutes before crashing on his diaper padded behind. Pretty exciting stuff!

After getting home from some last minute Easter shopping tonight, I wanted Thomas to show daddy his new trick. He tried and tried so hard to do it again, but it was late in the evening, and I think his frustration tolerance was a little low....he just gave up and had little baby tantrum moments, throwing himself backwards and crying. "Ma-ma, ma-ma" and "na-na, na-na"(his word for night-night)....I think I know what he wants. Poor tired boy. He'll just have to try again tomorrow.
