Adam Quits!

Today was the last day that Adam will ever have to work a crappy office job.  To celebrate I got him a cake. Because we will now be a one (steady) income family I bought the holiday cake that was on super-sale.  Best $5 ever spent.

Meeting Rory

It seems our friends are breeding like bunnies. Rory is the newest baby to join the group, to parents Sarah and Dave. We got to meet him when he was just a week old. Thomas looked like a giant next to him.

Adam said it was hard to imagine Thomas ever being that small. Turns out he wasn't! Rory still didn't weigh quite as much as Thomas did at birth.

Halloween: Costume #1

Our friends Mary and Lael hosted a baby friendly Halloween party the week before Halloween. Once Adam saw the cheeseburger costume there was no convincing him otherwise. It worked out well since all we had to do was borrow some aprons from my mom and....voila! Family costume.

I felt a little bad that I didn't make his first costume but then I remembered how tired I am and got over it. Next year.

Thomas was an excellent party goer. We got there right when it started thinking we would have to leave an hour later for bedtime. Instead he took a disco nap in Adam's arms and partied with us until about nine.

Family Picnic: Costume #2

Alameda really is THE place to be as a new parent. One of the mommy groups I'm a part of had a family picnic and we figured it was a good excuse to dress all the babies in costume. Since it was unseasonably hot (still) and there were slated to be a flock of other chickens (they were not very happy in their costumes) we dressed him in the chicken costume Grandpa got him.

And Now We Are Three

We celebrated our three year anniversary this week. Mom volunteered to babysit so we could have some time to ourselves, but we decided to celebrate with all three of us. It only made sense...celebrating our three year anniversary with the three of us. Adam took the day off and we had a quiet day culminating in a walk around the park and sushi takeout (sushi takeout seems even more luxurious than going to the restaurant).

We also tried to recreate the picture that our awesome wedding photographer took during our engagement session and on our wedding day, even though Thomas has already grown out of his first pair of Converse, isn't quite adept at sitting yet, and it was a little tricky using the timer...

Reading is Fundamental

He's a nerd like his mama.

Baby's First Ears

Grandpa went to Disneyland so Thomas got his first Mickey ears. Sadly the names are now embroidered by computer - BLASPHEMY!
