big first time event...

daddy is everything ok? why am i? what is going on??

who are you? whacha got in your hand?

hmmm... what's this? i should taste it.

whoa, don't like all this activity going on.

tada! all better! and ready for summer :)

thomas got his first official, real haircut. i have always tried to cut it, but from 10 months on, it has gotten to difficult (thus the bruce lee/beatles shag he has been sporting). finally got him to the hair salon and luckily, we think he was so shocked, that he sat still for most of it. thank goodness, cause it is starting to get warmer and all that hair can get hot! :)

but he does look HUGELY different. we spent the rest of saturday evening asking thomas "did aliens take our baby? where is the real thomas? they did a good job cloning but we know you aren't the real thomas."

-------------------testing daddy's patience---------------------

thomas's LA auntie jenny came over yesterday to visit. for some reason, thomas decided that he wanted to show off. from the moment william stuck him in the high chair, he was all protests, loud whining and faker crying. so finally, william got fed up, "ok little buddy, no more food for you!" unstrapped him and plunked him down on his feet. as daddy was putting away the high chair, thomas gave jenny the BIGGEST smile and did a little victory dance while patting his tummy. he actually knew he won! what amazing sense of power he must have felt. heh heh

maybe that is what he wanted when his alameda auntie helen came over last week. he was super whiney then too. next time, we'll just let him out of his chair so he can proceed to show off for her too.

talking about showing off, we have noticed that thomas is quite a ham. most of the other kids his age that we know take some time to warm up to strangers. i can't even get a smile out of my nephew, joshua! but thomas has no qualms smiling, clapping, acting coy with whoever will smile back at him. i am afraid that he will end up in music or entertainment, performing. then always asking me to send him money so he can make rent. :p ha ha :)

What a cutie!

And that's very funny what Thomas did at meal time. John would get impatient if Ethan doesn't want to eat his regular food (all he wants is cherrios). Ethan would protest. So I keep reminding John that if Ethan doesn't want to eat his regular food, then just leave him alone. He'll eat if he want to.

The haircut makes such a huge difference! Cute! =)

It's fun watching our babies' personality traits emerge. ^_^

He looks just like his cousin Ariana in one of the serious haircut pictures! And what an adorable smile. : ) I think when we were kids, you were the outgoing friendly one, and I was the shy one, our kids probably got our genes. : )

he does look like ariana! remember those comparison pics i had up? i have always thought there was a resemblance. it is that one where they were both about 5-6 months, spaced out, watching TV :)

also - i agree! babies at this age will eat when they want/need to eat. no need to force them. i have heard it is 2-3 years when they really start not eating/being picky.

Looks like you added a few inches of forehead to your baby.

What a cute haircut. Makes him look like a little man instead of a baby. It's so fun that he's a ham too, showing off, esp. to women!
