Nice Hat

Tommy models his new blue hat before church on Sunday. Annalise was wearing a hat so he could not be outdone...even though his hair was freshly styled!

Annalise's First Portland Trip

The Wedewers visited Portland this month. Here are pictures with captions to follow at a later date.

Super Scrubby Bubble Bath

Tommy is a big fan of bubble baths these days. We're able to entice him to the tub so much easier now! We just announce that it's time for his super-scrubby-bubble-bath and he pretty much bolts up the stairs and starts stripping! He enjoys using his rinse cup to pour water over his body during tub time, and he does a pretty good job keeping most of the water where it's supposed to be.

Big Boy Bed

It's official...Tommy is now a card-carrying member of the big boy club. We converted his crib into a full-size bed frame and he couldn't be prouder of his achievement. Getting him to stay put at night isn't a problem, but he isn't doing so well on the naps these days...too many books to read and toys to play with now that he's no longer confined.

Here he gives a big cheesy grin for the camera. The blue rails keep him from rolling off while he sleeps, but they aren't enough to confine him...he likes to sneak out now and then.

Our smiley guy assumes the position.

Now if we can just get him interested in potty training...

Strolling with My Sis

Tommy & Annalise are now side-by-side stroller buddies. This is much easier to manuever than the behemoth that holds Annalise's car seat! Here they enjoy each other's company before we head out for a walk.

And here they pose with Daddy on the paseo near our home.

What's New With Tommy

Tommy's been keeping busy lately. He had his friend, Alex, over to play and they actually sat together quietly while watching a cartoon for a few minutes (they usually end up in a toddler squabble five seconds after Tara and I turn our heads).He likes to rummage through Mommy's purse for snacks, tissues and cell phones.He LOVES to play the guitar, so he got a very big kick out of the giant-sized one we came across at the local children's museum.And he enjoys a good post-nap vegging session with his Hot Wheels and his sister (whom I propped up with a silly neck pillow that slightly resembles devil ears).
