The Undiscovered Country

Just Pictures

Got some pictures of Thomas:

He's rolling over, but doesn't it look like he's posing like a runner? Do I see future Olympiad here?


I never knew drinking milk could tire a baby out so.


"Talk to the hand."


Still a happy boy.

With regard to the last picture, it was taken a day after I cut his hair.

Thomas' hair had grown so much it was starting to grow over his eyes, and the top was so long it looked like a comb-over or toupee. Here's where going to cosmetology school over fifteen years ago came in handy.

I sat him in his highchair, and draped the haircutting cape around him. I then proceeded to chop the top, around the ears and cut off the little tail growing in the back.

I couldn't believe how good he was! I expected him to wiggle and protest as I cut (almost two inches in some places), but once he wiggled his hand through the top of the drape and could suck on his thumb, he made nary a sound and sat completely still for me.

Oh, and if you look close at the last picture, you'll see Thomas now has three teeth.

More are coming, because he's not sleeping well, chews and drools more than usual, and his top gums are swollen.
