Since it's been awhile I figured it was time to give an update on Tommy. He is now 19 months old, and growing soooo fast. Most of the time he's a happy kid, until he's getting teeth in and then the inner demon comes out. But other then that he's super laid back.
He's started to talk more, and to name a few words he says: baby, cracker, daddy, papa, on a rare occasion he says mommy, milk, juice, wawa, light, please, ball, walk, side (short for inside or outside), shoes, leaf, let's go, all done, tractor, moo, cat, puppy, bubbles, wheel, but his all time favorite word is car. Although it comes out caaa, he has a little Boston accent, it's very cute.
He loves cars, his favorite pastime is to sit in the car, turn the wheel, and push all the buttons.
One of his favorite places to go is the car dealership, because he can get in all the different cars in the showroom. He also loves to blow bubbles, when we pull into the driveway he frequently will start saying bubbles over and over again, and if we can't stop and play with them before we go inside he throws a fit. Really I think he would spend all day outside no matter how hot it is or how many mosquitoes are swarming. He loves to go on walks, and see all the puppy's.
When he wants something in another room he'll take our hands and lead us to the desired plaything.
He hates getting his hair cut and screams whenever we have it cut, which has only been twice, so his hair is perpetually too long and always a mess of blonde curls, as you can see for yourself from the pictures.
So I know there is more to add about him, but this post is already bordering on short story length, and not everyone is as enamored with Tommy as I am so I'll cut it short now. Hopefully it won't be four months before another update, but I offer no promises. Oh and yes in above picture he is hanging off the oven. And yes I know it's not safe, but I had to get a picture of it.


It's been ages since we found out and I'm pretty sure everyone has probably already heard, but for the sake of recording things I'll say it anyway. We are expected another child, a girl, and she's due December 3, which would make me about 26 weeks along. Feeling pretty good now, had the usual yucka feelings of nausea and vomiting, but thankfully that has passed.
So far we are unsure of a name, we have a couple names we're throwing around, but nothing absolute yet. We have decided that our fall back name will be Reagan Olivia, so if we haven't decided on anything else by the time she's born, she's coming home a Reagan. We'll keep you posted...maybe (you know how I am about posting).
