Where has the time gone?!?!

We are long overdue for an update! We have settled into life in Cowtown, it sure is a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Big D. I am loving my job and slowly getting used to working 5 days per week. Tommy loves his new school and has lots of new friends! Here's my attempt to catch up on the last 5 months: 10 months: Ten months old on St Patricks Day (what a good little Irish boy!). Still pulling up and starting to cruise along the couch and ottoman. He had his first trip to Ol' South Pancake House, a diner that mom used to go to as a kid after church, he LOVES the pancakes there. Starting to eat more solid foods and his bottles are close to meal times. Napping about 2-3 times per day, still having a hard time napping at school though. 11 Months: Went to his first outdoor concert at the Craft Beer Festival on W 7th with his cousin Zoe. He loved listening to the music and even clapped for the performers (first time clapping!)! Meals are all table foods, no more baby food, bottles only at meal times in an attempt to start weaning the bottle in a month or so. Tommy's faborite thing to do is push any kind of push toy around and his working up the courage to take a few steps on his own. We also celebrated Tommy's first Easter with mass at St Patricks and then brunch at Grandma and Roland's with Uncle Ryan, Nana, Grandaddy, Caroline, Hailey, Maddy, Adam and their new baby! Mommy and daddy also took a trip to Playa del Carmen to celebrate their 5 year anniversary, Tommy stayed with nana and Grandaddy half the time and with Grandma and Roland the other half. Mommy and daddy missed Tommy tons but were able to scuba dive and relax on the beach. Uncle Travis and Aunt Laura joined them for a few days too! Mommy hoped she wouldn't miss his first steps and she didn't!!! 12 Months: What a birthday party we had! We had about 40 guests who enjoyed a delicious BBQ in the backyard. Tommy had his first piece of cake that was more worn on his face than eaten! Tommy is walking when you hold his hands. He no longer takes a bottle and drinks all whole milk! Sure is nice not cleaning bottles or making formula!!
