Thomas' Baptism

Thomas got Baptized on December 16, 2007. This was also Gramdpa-Coughenour's birthday (and deathday). I needed a happy memory so Father David agreed to do this for me.

The holy oil had a sandlewood smell to it. I didn't want to wash Thomas' hair but I did. His hair still smells like it faintly. (silly-moma)

The first picture: Father David Edwards, me holding Thomas, and Bob in the back ground. (He shaved!!!!!)

2nd picture: Me holding Thomas, and Grandma-Coughenour in the background.

3rd picture: Bob, Me holding Thomas, Fran Monroe (God-Mother), Quinn Godwin (God-Father) (In the forground...off on the side is Lauren Godwin, who is Quinn's youngest daughter.

Pictures were taken by Alex Ngo.

I got Mommy!

Thomas does this move quite often when he wants down, or when he stretches. In this picture he was 6 1/2 months old. He is getting so long!

Sleepy Time or Peek-A-Boo

Huh?

Thomas does the wave with his hands kind of like Kermey the frog from the muppets. Aunt Katrina took the picture. She said "Thomas" and he has this look upon his face like Huh?

Thomas & Erika

Sara and I get together and put the kids on the floor every chance we get just to see what happens. Here, Erika is trying to say: "HIGH FIVE..." Thomas just looks and thinks: not yet!

Thomas @ Grandma-Coughenour's House

Here are some pictures when we Bob, Thomas and I went up to see 'Grandma-Coughenour' and Katrina. Pic.'s 2 and 3 are: Front Row: Sara holding Erika, Katrina, Zanne holding Thomas; Back Row: Terry, and Mom. Bob grabbed the camera and dodged getting in the picture. *pout* We will have to make up for that sometime. It was a last minute thing before we left to come back home. Terry and 'Trina were working out side, and we were all being a family.

Thomas Hated his binky at first. He used to spit it all the way across the room if you tried to put it in his mouth. Now he is getting used to 'playing' with it. He likes the handle as a teething ring. He is sitting in my lap and being silly. I am getting better with the red eye, but I am still working with the camera.

Today, Thomas turned 6mo. old. He is balancing in his play-pen reading his book. (I didn't know his nose was running) He is almost ready to sit by himself.

Teething or Kisses?

Mommy's chin is either a good teething toy, or Mommy needed a great big KISS after work last week!!! Thomas is now 5 months old. OVER 27" long and weighs 17.5 lbs. Remember...He has TALL parents.

Thomas' first reading

We were practicing with our new digital camera that Uncle Dan gave us in May. Bob is an advid book worm! He can't wait unti Thomas picks up his first book and reads. We are already starting early! Thomas is about a month old in this picture.
