And he's off...!

Topher started walking on January 1st! He's still in that "drunk-walking" phase, but he's getting stronger and better balance every day. It's so fun to watch him...

Thanksgiving in Kansas

We loaded up and headed north to Kansas for Topher's first Thanksgiving and ended up experiencing Topher's first snow as well. It was beautiful and we had a great time playing in it. It didn't last long, though. It was pretty much all melted by the end of the day. Kind of like it does when it snows in Dallas. ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Topher's first Halloween was so much fun. We went to a party at Luke's house and got to see all our friends. Thanks, Allison and Luke, for inviting us to such a great party. :)

It takes so little to amuse our little guy. He's gonna be pretty ticked off at me when he's a teen because he's naked in this video, but I think the room is dark enough to hide private items. I just had to share this. It's greatness...

Priceless

More of Padg's handiwork...

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch at the Dallas Arboretum last week with my friend Allison and Topher's friend Luke. We had a great time...

Busy weekend...

Topher learned 3 new things this weekend and all are pretty big milestones. We're so proud of him...

1) On Thursday, the 27th, he learned to sit himself up all by himself...



2) On Saturday, the 29th, he learned to pull himself up to a standing position (only have pic, no video)...3) And we knew he would be doing this very soon and we were right. He crawled for the first time this morning. YEA!!...



Way to go Topher! Daddy and I are so proud...and a little scared that you're mobile now. ;)

TBG Family Picnic in Austin

Geez mom...

...do you have to kiss me a million times a day?

Seven months old

Gettin' places...

Well he's mobile. Not quite crawling, yet, but scootin' all over the place. I'm guessing it won't be long now. :)

Labor Day Weekend with Grandma & Grandpa

Daddy's fired!

Padg's first time to feed Topher solids was a real treat. I think daddy might need a little more training. Sure made for some funny video, though. Sorry about the shaky camera action, but I just couldn't stop laughing. :) Aftermath photos follow the video.

Another Houston trip

Took another trip to Houston last weekend for my niece's "Off to College" party. Had a great time visiting with family. Here's some pics...

SIX MONTHS TODAY!!

I can't believe how fast these past 6 months have flown by...

Rollin', rollin', rollin'...

He finally did it!! He started rolling over onto his tummy last week. He's been rolling over onto his back for a while, so it's exciting now that he can do both. And he's also starting to spend a little more time on his tummy. He still doesn't like it all that much, though.

Anyway, he's getting so big and still changing all the time. I can't believe he's going to be 6 months old tomorrow!

My feet are YUMMY!!!

Too cute!

He's sittin' up!!

I'm so proud of him. I still have to stay right by him when he's doing it, though, to catch him when he tips over. He still refuses to spend any time on his tummy (he's learned to roll onto his back from his tummy so now every time I put him on his tummy, he immediately rolls over). I think he might skip crawling and go straight to walking. He'll pull up to stand but only when I'm holding his hands. ;)

Such a big boy...

He's sitting up on his own now, if only for a few seconds. Doesn't take long for him to topple over but he'll have it down before too long now. Oh and just so you know, his shirt is soaked because he's teething and drooling all over everything. ;)

He got his first tooth a few weeks ago and his second one just peeked through his gum today. It's kind of hard to see in this picture but it's the little white spot right above the middle of his lower lip...
