7 1/2 Months

I know, I know, it's a little late, not to mention being combined with a 1/2 month but hey - I'm a working mom!  The holiday season has come and gone but what a fun time we had! Tommy also reached some big milestones this past month...

He's sitting up on his own

Tommy's saying "dada" (not mama yet, but hopefully soon!)



And he's crawling!!  The first he crawled was December 30 and he hasn't looked back...

We've ditched the little tub now and are taking baths like a big boy!  He loves bath time!!

Tommy's also transitioned to feeding every 4 hours now and eats all kinds of fruits and veggies, I think his favorite is sweet potatoes and his least favorite is avocado - but I'll give it another try soon!

We visited Santa at Northpark mall - I was ready for a crying fiasco, but he was too curious about Santa's beard to cry!


Our first Christmas was so wonderful! Santa came early on Christmas Eve because I was scheduled to work in the NICU on Christmas day. We opened presents and played with our new toys all day until it was time to go to Grandma's for Christmas Eve Mass at St Patricks and then dinner and more presents at Grandma's.





Christmas morning I got a wonderful surprise - the day off of work!!  So we all went to Sherman to see the Sherman clan and then stopped off at Liz and Pat's on the way home.  It was a great day and I was so grateful to be able to spend my baby's first Christmas with him.  



New Year's weekend was spent with nana and granddaddy.  Matt and I spent the night at the Hilton in Fort Worth on Friday and then NY Eve we opened more gifts and then went to dinner together.  Tommy didn't stay up to see the ball drop, but neither did mommy!  Nana and grandad bought a swing set for their house for the grandkids' Christmas gift - Tommy loved the swing - the higher the better for this little daredevil!

Happy New Year to you and your family...I am so grateful to look forward to another year and so blessed as I look back on last year, what a year!
