look at that big pout! i had just told him that i couldn't pick him up yet and sat him down with a toy. he definitely understands not getting picked up when he wants up.
about the 11 month height and weight check... i couldn't leave it alone, so last week i called the doctor. our pediatrian, Dr Tosaic, works with a group so when she is not in, sometimes the other doctor, Dr Quan, will call back. i feel a little bad because we originally were referred to dr. quan, but we didn't feel she was right for us or thomas, so we met the two other docs in the office and liked dr. tosaic better.
part of it is that quan has only been out of residence for a couple years and has never had kids. now that we have a kid, we understand why people always say "you'll understand when you have your own kids" it really opens your eyes. so everything she does is by the book, b/c she has nothing else to go by. i think her book knowledge is very good, but another thing we noticed is her style is a bit forceful (or rather authoritative) and she doesn't give you alternatives unless you push for them. tosaic is more mild mannered and she has 3 kids, has practiced for over 15 years. her voice is kinda funny though, almost sounds like a child on the phone.
anyways, dr quan called me back on thursday and after talking to her about thomas' diet and activity level, she said he was not where he should be. she said babies want to play, not eat, so you have to find ways to make him eat. it really worried me and i thought about it until the next day so much that it gave me a little heart burn. i decided to call dr tosaic and see if she thought the same. i am so glad i did, b/c after hearing the rundown of thomas, she said he sounded fine and that we didn't need to worry. as long as he is active, happy and regular (ha ha), she said we were doing fine. i feel much better about where thomas is!
-----------------> holidays
what a busy month... friday last week, we went to hang out with cousin joshua. he had a few friends over so thomas got to play with different babies. girl babies! we don't know many girl babies so it was fun to watch him surrounded by girls :). he also got jealous when i was holding baby joshua. he saw my infidelity, speedily crawled over, climbed up my lap and tried to push joshua out of the way. how funny that was! i have never seen him react that way before. well, i guess, i have never tried to hold other babies in front of him. i was so tickled that he noticed and decided that he was not going to take it. funny funny.
we also had both dylan and sara's first birthday parties in the last week. wow. can't believe it has been a year. amazing!

Thomas is getting so big! TOTALLY like a little person NOT just a baby anymore! :) How fun!! Definitely more fun than my report I'm working on right now..hehe
Thomas is growing up! He looks so different from when I met him the last time. I am planning to go see Jessica next Sunday, wanna come?
Today is the last day of classes ever for me. From now on, I get 5 nights with Thomas instead of 3....or more liekly full 5 nights.
During school, the time spent is scattered...thank God it's the last quarter.
