It's been a long time...

It's been a long time since I've blogged and honestly it's been so long that I haven't wanted to start writing again.  I feel like I've missed out on writing about so much that part of me doesn't want to start again.  But, here goes nothing.

Thomas is now 17 months old and seeing him is the highlight of my day.  During the week I only see him after I get home from work and to see his face light up makes the days not seem so bad.  

He says quite a few words now, such as:
  • Hi
  • Bye
  • Mama
  • Dadda
  • Ought Oh
  • Fank you (thank you)
  • Welcome
  • Cracker
  • Down
  • Up
  • Mess
  • Love you

I feel like he is the smartest little boy, ever!  But, I'm sure every parent feels that way.  He is the sweetest, most caring, daring little boy I know and I wouldn't change a thing about him.

Yes, he tries my patience and does things he's not supposed to, but that's just his way of learning boundaries and rules.  Or at least I hope it's a phase.  

Tom and I are doing well.  We have so much fun together and I'm amazed that we're still finding new things out about the other person.  We love our new apartment and love the space that we have.  

My brother Joel is coming to visit this Thursday for 9 days!!!  I am so excited to spend time with him.  And to watch him and Thomas play together will be so much fun.  I remember playing with him when he was Thomas's age.  Surreal and it makes me feel old.

I'm cooking my first Thanksgiving meal next week so that should be interesting.  I've never cooked a turkey or sweet potatoes so let's hope nothing gets burnt!  I'll try to post some pictures of that day next weekend.
 
I guess that's the quickest update I can give.  We're all doing great and I will do my best to post more often.
