Like a Baby

They say car rides put babies to sleep. In Thomas' case, he would rather watch the scenery even if he is exhausted, so it only works if we tent his car seat like a bird cage or I cover his eyes with my hand. Then we just hope he doesn't wake up till we get to our destination.

Raspberries

Thomas has learned to blow raspberries and a few other choice sounds this last week. Excuse the fingers, I was having a hard time keeping a steady hand while laughing.

Visit with Gammie and Grandad

Thomas sure does love his Grandad. The feeling is mutual.

Twins!

Cooper got the same chicken costume that Thomas did, but we were never able to get them together before Halloween. Luckily you don't need an excuse to make babies even cuter. Especially when its two babies.

Jogging

Since becoming a stay-at-home Dad, I decided that part of my morning routine would be to go out jogging with Thomas. Whenever I tell people this, they all seem to imagine me running down the street, clutching the baby to my chest. This of course is not the case, we were able to purchase a Schwinn jogging stroller for about half the cost of the other jogging strollers that were tall enough for me to use.

It took me a little while to figure out my routine. The first day I went out jogging was a fluke, so I wound up showering twice. Also, if I go too close to one of Thomas' scheduled naps, he dozes off for about 20 minutes during the run and then decides that he doesn't need any more sleep. I think we are getting the hang of it now though.

Baby's First Halloween

For the actual holiday we helped some friends pass out candy who live on the busiest trick or treating street in town. On the way back we stopped for burgers - of course. Thomas had fun munching on his costume.

Back to Work

Today was my first day back at work. Since I had approximately 4 billion emails to go through I worked from home. Not a bad way to start back!
