Daddy feeds me his favorite breakfast, applesauce-oatmeal, and I try out some yummy avocado. I got it all over me and Mommy wonders if any of it is in my tummy. So far, I like all the foods I’ve tried, but a few of them are really yummy:
banana – yummy
oatmeal – yummy
applesauce – yummy
squash
avocado
sweet potato – yummy

Applesauce Oatmeal is delicious!

Look, Daddy, I have my own spoon.

Here is Thomas’ first food adventure. Bananas! We had a lot of fun! After bananas came some really yummy oatmeal. That was even better!

Getting Ready for Food

This is a banana.

Inside a banana!

My thumb tastes good.

Maybe I'll try a piece.

The first bite!

What do I do now?

This is interesting.

Wow, that was fun!

There is something in this bowl that I like... oatmeal!

I remember this from yesterday... I want more!

I want a spoon, too...

I'm officially a Dobratz oatmeal fan.

Hey, Grandma Eileen, remember when we used to have to roll up a towel next to me in the cradle because there was so much extra room. Looks like we are going to have to retire it for a while.

Wow, Thomas is already at 5 months. Here are the new pictures. Compare to the other diaper and yellow chair pictures. He learned how to pull his socks off today!

They caught me smiling. Usually I’m too distracted by the red camera lights.

Thomas is having fun with one of his favorite books… although it’s hard to decide since there are so many good ones.

I love books!

Dad and the “little” guy take a nap together on the couch before dinner.

Thomas is really glad that big icicle didn’t fall on Mommy.

Okay, so after catching up with all the Christmas pictures, the 4 month pictures are finally here. And next week will be picture time again! How can that be? These were taken the same night after a long plane ride home from Oregon. Thomas is not very excited about picture time, so we gave up and went to bed.

I had a wonderful time with Gramma over Christmas vacation. She took turns holding me over and over again and I giggled a lot with her and Grampa.

We try to always take pictures under the tree at Christmas. Thomas hasn’t quite figured out the camera yet. He is laughing and smiling the whole time and as soon as you point that camera at him he stares at that red light.

Here I am meeting my friend Teresa. Teresa is like another grandma to me. She thinks I’m really great and I think she’s really great too.

I am so glad I finally got to meet Auntie Fran and Uncle Alan. It was so much fun and I got to snuggle with both of them!

Some people find me very entertaining. I’ve captured the attention of Auntie Barb, Jaime and Uncle Jeff all at the same time.
