Filling in the Gap

Here are the rest of the photos I wanted to share (from 5.2 to 5.21). However, I am not caught up for long because yesterday was my 31st birthday, so there's another post..... But hey, at least I am not behind anymore!

This was taken at the BRCS Bear-a-Fair (5.2). Tennyson always gets this terrified look on his face when he goes down the slide but he always wants to do it again and again.

Looking out the window - probably at the robins

A very favorite pastime - drawing (notice his little feet) :-)

When we tell Tennyson to make his "funny face" this is what he does! Haha!

Just chillin' on the deck....with some keys

He had a high fever when I took this, but he's still smiling!

He was squatting but then jumped up right before I took the picture.

A self-portrait of us the morning Daddy left for D.C. (5.13)

Yes, he wears a bowl for a hat around the house

Taken on Mother's Day - my two cute men!

In addition to the photos there are few other highlights I have been meaning to document:

~Tennyson officially called me "Mommy" instead of "Mama" for the first time on April 8th. It was kind of a bittersweet moment since it felt like it was a more "grown-up" name for him to call me. But sometimes he stills calls me Mama.

~It seems like Tennyson learns to say a new word every day. It's so surreal that we can actually have a conversation with him now and not that long ago he was just our little baby. Some of the newest words he says are: medicine, raisins, draw, ant, smack, juice, racing, snack, bike, oranges, radio, box, banana, snake, turtle, small, tractor, and train. Speaking of trains, I mentioned how much he loves to watch "Thomas the Tank Engine," and he can also say: Diesel, Percy, Henry, Duck, Gordon, Thomas ("Miss"), Boco, James, and Edward. Not bad, huh?! And of course there is the "Toy Story" crew: Buzz, Woody ("Wee Wee"), Jesse, and Rex.

~Tennyson has really been showing an interest in numbers. Right now he thinks every number he sees is an 8. But he can count to three and loves when we count all his toes. When we get to "9" he loudly yells out "10!"

~And Tennyson asks Daddy every day about mowing. He follows him from window to window all over the house so he can see him at all times. It's so cute! Tom keeps joking that one day soon it will be his job, so it's a good thing he's so fascinated by it.

Whew! I think that's everything....for now. I try to keep a running list of things Tennyson says or does so I can remember to document them on the blog. It will be fun to see what he comes up with next! He definitely keeps us busy!
