March picture randoms

Lots of random pictures going up today, truly our lives are not that exciting most days! Thomas had his first pediatrician appt last week out here, just his intake appointment. He ended up getting his 18 month vaccinations though so we went expecting a happy visit and it ended up being super dramatic. Poor little guy. Shots are awful! He did enjoy their coloring easel though while waiting for the doctor. He is 34" tall and 25 pounds! Hard to believe he is so big already. I also am mourning the loss of the many pediatricians in Utah county. We were so spoiled there. Hopefully we learn to love a doctor out here just as much. 
As long as he stays healthy we won't have to go back until he is TWO. I can't even wrap my head around that. I can't have a two year old so soon!! And by that point baby sister will be here...can time slow down please?

His puppy is the first thing he wants to see and say hi to when he wakes up in the morning or from his nap. He gives it a big hug and usually sits down in its lap to read a book there. If he's ever upset about something saying hi to his puppy usually stops the tears instantly. 
Our neighbors across the street have two huge dogs that are always out on their raised deck. Thomas could stand outside for hours just watching and pointing at them. His love for dogs is almost enough to make me consider getting another dog. Almost. JT has been pushing for one too but I won't even consider it until new baby is at least a year old. But it's hard to say no when they both want one so bad!!!

Fish face and noises. A new favorite thing. He also says "boo" for "moo" like a cow, makes monkey noises and snake noises and rawrs for lions. His reusable stickers I found for cheap at target are all different animals, and he will pick them up and make their sounds, all the time. It's especially fun when he rawrs really loud at church and shows the people around us the lion. 

We went to Salmon Creek park early this morning. I have been so awful at getting outside with him lately, and I have no excuse because it has been so nice here! He literally begged at the door for half an hour after JT went to work this morning. So we got ready quick and went on a walk and played for a good hour and a half. He loves chasing the ducks and scaring them from the grass, and he has no issues with sitting in the middle of the gravel trail to play in the rocks and dirt. He is such a boy.

This weather makes me happy.

Sorry to everyone on the east coast who is freezing and suffering feet of snow...Washington is in the 60s and sunny lately and I couldn't be happier! Thomas is obviously pretty happy about it too!!
Where JT goes, Thomas usually follows. He is such a daddy's boy and I love it. It will definitely make the transition from one to two much easier. Also I absolutely loved the trees at the park we went to today. They were huge. And it was gorgeous there. 

Thomas is going to be 17 months next week. I can't believe it! He has grown up so much since we moved away. 
His favorite things:
-Stacking puzzle pieces, foam letters, any kind of "piece" toy. I kid you not he plays with them for a few hours a day, just sitting there and stacking and making piles from place to place. 
-Talking on his play phone, and holding up to his ear--which usually is put at the back of his neck instead
-Bath time. He has lived baths since he was a baby! Sometimes he goes to the bathroom door and cries because he wants to get in the tub so badly. 
-Telling us clearly when he is hungry by running to his booster and whining to get in
-hearing airplanes and pointing to them, watching them, really anything about them. 
-Cuddles and stories before bedtime or naps. He will sit forever before he goes to sleep if I would let him
-His disney bed time story book
-Daddy time
-running to the door saying dad over and over again when he hears JTs keys in the lock
-hide and seek 
-Playing at any park and going for walks. Really just being outside!
-Blowing on anything we say is "hot"

My not so favorite things:
-constant whining it seems. He just tries so hard to communicate and he's not quite there yet! I can't wait for him to be able to tell me what he wants. Soon enough I guess!
-tantrums if he doesn't get his way, or we have to interrupt him when he's super into whatever he is playing. He arches his back and throws himself backwards...one of these days he will seriously hurt himself. 
-picky eating stage still! Some days he eats everything, and the next he throws 6 things on the floor before I find a winner. The struggle is real. 
-church. ONE more month people then he goes to nursery! I can't wait to sit through meetings again, for a few months at least!
