The Thomas Page

You knew it had to happen, if Mannaiz 1.0 had a devoted Maggie page, the second iteration needs a Thomas page, and here it is.

He is such a joy to watch grow and we are developing quite a suite of nicknames for him: Mr. Tomlinson, The Snuffler, The Snorfler, Tommy Two-Tone, Fussy Tom, the bean, beano, etc., etc.

So without further delay, here are some photo pages with the latest pictures at the top. Click on the picture and enjoy.

Month 4 and 5 are quite amazing. Thomas is sitting unsupported, plays thoughtfully with his toys rather than just randomly batting at them, grabbing and actually playing with toys, rather than just batting at them and the smiles and giggles keep on coming and we are loving it!

Month 3 was a good one. Pulling himself up, sleeping 7 hour stretches and smiling constantly are all fun new tricks of Thomas' and we are loving it!

 

He is waking up and is so much more alert, active and interested in everything now. The sleeping is better, the eating is going better as well and his personality is coming through in spades. He is starting to learn things too, like hitting a hanging toy with his hand, pushing himself up during tummy time and once or twice he has stopped himself from falling over when propped up...its a start.
Month 1 was quite an interesting time, with a lack of sleep, a lot of crying, but what a reward to be able to meet this guy! This first batch of pictures takes us from an ultrasound at 12 weeks where we first saw the future Mr. Tomlinson, through the huge belly the night before the birth and then through Thomas' first month. What a trip!
