One Tough Kid

*Over the past few weeks, Thomas has been battling a flu-like bug called croup. We spent a few hours at the hospital one night, and Grandma and Grandpa Clark came up to stay with us for a few days to help get Thomas better. It took a little over a week to get over it, but now Thomas is back to his usual self.

*Due to Mommy's work schedule, Thomas spent another week and a half in Ohio with both sets of Grandparents after this illness. Thomas continues to do really well in the car, sleeping through most of the trips to and from Ohio. He enjoys spending time with his grandparents, and they enjoy spending time with him (of course).

*Thomas's progression continues. He knows how to give kisses, can do an "indian war-cry" with his hand and mouth, and easily crawls, stands, and steps around furniture with relative ease. He's getting better at feeding himself (and Eddie) too, as evidenced by the below picture and video.

*Statistics from his most recent doctor's visit: 90th percentile in height, 25th percentile in weight, and one full head of hair!
