Gig'em Aggies, Thomas is THREE months old.

My new favorite outfit: Little Man's 3 month old birthday gift! A 12th Man Jersey Onesie & the cutest Aggie shoes ever made. I'm in love.
April 20, 2009 - 3 months ago Tori was in labor for 20 hours. Worth every second.

He stares right into the camera: such a little poser! Mommy's little Aggie:

Daddy wants Thomas to play football at Kyle Field one day - definitely a possibility since he's off the growth charts because he's so big for his little bittle age.

Hanging with Grandma and Grandpa Ervin

Despite the threat of impending tornados, thunder, and heavy rains, we made the trip to Burton to hang out at the Circle E Ranch last weekend. The scary weather went away, the sun came out, and everything was so so beautiful. Home of the Cotton Gin and Grandma & Grandpa's, we love visiting the country :)
Grandma Jancy knows how to make little Thomas laugh out loud! He is starting to pull himself up to a sitting position & has complete control over his big-little head. As you can see, a burp cloth is an important piece to our outfits these days - very classy. Grandpa already knows how to please the little one - the one and only SOOTHIE!

Grandpa is teaching Thomas the classics. The little man loves watching the TV / computer screen when music is playing. Maybe he'll be like Uncle Cliffy and Uncle Mike and be musically talented.

The Burton Cotton Gin Festival

Our very first TRACTOR PULL! I was a fan of the John Deere's myself. Thomas just liked the noisy ones... put him right to sleep.
Little man is already melting the hearts of little girls everywhere.

This precious little girl in her polo sweater & pink cowgirl hearts was doing her "Aggie" pose. whoop.

Easter!

We all celebrate cousin Jarrett's 3rd birthday on Easter - Uncle/cousin Mike made the awesome cake.

Did I mention we are part Mexican? Obvi we had to have a piñata hanging from a tree in the front yard.

Baby Thomas & Uncle Matt hanging out for the first time! Uncle Matt has a new buddy - Thomas loves to watch anything on TV, for sure going to be a sports fan.

A very silly Auntie Meghan hangs out with a super stylin' Thomas in his new Easter shades!

Thomas was super excited for Easter this year. The Easter bunny was a little creepy though, so we took our own Easter photos!

Gracias to Auntie Meg for putting together little man's first easter basket! He truly is our little monkey.

On Wednesday April 8, 2009, in the early hours of the morning, Thomas's Great-Grandmother left the earth as we know to return to her maker in Heaven. Grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the same week Thomas was born. I will forever cherish her and Grandfather's visit to the hospital to see the tiny Thomas and these photos. These photos were from the last time Grandmother held my first-born as the pain soon became too great to handle.

When I saw Grandmother Wednesday morning I was able to give her a size huge hug without hurting her for the first time in months. The look of peace which covered her face put us at ease knowing she had gone to Heaven and no longer had to suffer. She will be forever missed and remembered as a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. We love you.

4 Generations.

Hope for Peace and Quiet

This little outfit is from Auntie Meg. It says. "Hope for Peace and Quiet". Little Man is big time in his Kenneth Cole onesie all the way from NYC. Megs keeps him cozy and super cute with all her fun surprises she brings every time she visits.

Little Man is so hard to leave in the morning! As you can see, he's cute as a button. Yesterday he slept in until 9:30am! Today he woke up right as I was leaving, so I got to hold him before heading out the door for downtown. Hugging the baby Thomas is obvi much more enjoyable than driving down Broadway and through 30 traffic lights. Sick.
