15 Months Old


Tommy turned 15 months old today - here are some of his newest tricks:
-pointing one arm straight up in the air and turning in a circle
-walking backwards until he hits a chair/couch/wall and then laughing when he bumps into it
-climbing off of chairs and the couch - but not yet climbing up
-using a spoon to eat yogurt and a fork to eat green beans
-looking at himself in the mirror and cracking up
He rarely walks these days - it's all running. He had a fun weekend at Grandma's house - we visited the Discovery Children's Museum where Tommy drove a tractor, and we met his friend Gracie (also from Vietnam) for dinner.
This week we will celebrate the one year anniversary of Tommy's referral, on January 17!






This is before the haircut - and despite Tommy's support, the Illini did not pull off a Rose Bowl victory. Maybe in another 20 years when he's a student there......


















Pushing the box that his kitchen came in - Doug cut holes in it for doors/windows and Tommy loves to play inside it.









Crawling inside the box to retrieve a toy



















Note the shorter hair - and round belly. On our scales, Tommy weighs 25 pounds! He's sitting in his new chair that fits him perfectly!











Driving the combine at the Discovery Children's Museum - Grandpa Buddy would be proud!












Lots of Tommys -- inside a mirrored tunnel at the museum.



















Pointing to Gracie - not sure why?













Please, no more pictures!

I really look forward to seeing you guys at the Tet celebration next month. My favorite phos are the one of him in the car (he's looks so darn cute and grown up) and the one where he seems to be saying no more photos, please (that is just a riot).

So are you planning to start another adoption?

Your son is so darn adorable! Kathryn passed your link along because we were talking about who was going to the FCVN Tet celebration. I don't know too many families in the area, so I am trying to find them.

Hopefully we will get to meet you guys at Tet.
