When we were in San Diego, we went to Sea World. We have a post with lots of fun pictures. We also took a video as we were leaving Sea World. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. As you'll see, Thomas thought Cory was hilarious. The funny thing was that it only worked with Cory. Sometimes when Thomas would just see Cory during the trip, he would start to laugh and get worked up. He wanted Cory to perform. Cory was a great uncle and obliged. Enjoy!
Maybe I'm not really with it when it comes to some technology. I've never really been super interested in YouTube. I only just created a username on Facebook, but I have no idea how to use it. Maybe it's just that I'm not that with it when it comes to hip technology. Oh well.
Aubree and I got a camcorder for Christmas 2006. It's a HDD camcorder. I just barely downloaded all of the video from the camcorder to my computer for the first time. Partly that's because we now have more memory, so it's now technologically possible. Partly, though, is that I just hadn't made it a priority. It would have been so awful, however, to lose the wonderful video we have. Come on. It's Thomas's first year on there. We haven't posted any video from our camcorder on this blog yet because the file sizes are too large, and Blogger has a limit when you use its video service. One other option is to post the video to YouTube and embed the html code on the blog. I've finally taken the time to figure out how to do that, so here is the first of hopefully many great videos. Thomas really had lots of fun!
As a side note, I realize that I wrote "Thomas's," which I used to think would be wrong, but I'm reading a grammar book right now called THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE, and apparently, when forming the possesive singular of a noun, an 's is used, regardless of the last letter of the noun. So, "Thomas's" it is.
Anyway, enjoy the video.
As a point of reference, Thomas is 14 months old. As you can see, he completely has the ability to stand and walk, but he's just refused to do so thus far. He's a really fast crawler, and I think he just doesn't want to give up the speed and stability of crawling for walking yet. He'll get there, though.
Thomas is going to be a big brother! He must know it too, cause he is already lifting up my shirt and patting my belly. We're tremendously excited to have this little one in our family. We're due January 24th, 2009. We have already had a few ultrasounds to see this little one of ours. I really wanted Thomas to have a sibling in St. Louis since we won't have any family out there.
In fact I've already had dreams about it being a girl, but who knows! I had dreams Thomas was a boy... Michael is already convinced it's a boy. We'll know the beginning of August. So, stay posted.
We went with my sisters...
It may not be our best picture, but who cares we were at the rodeo!!! Giddy UP!!
Well, it really hit me hard the other day when I got my Missouri Nursing License in the mail and realized that I only have less than 6 weeks here in the good ol' state of Utah. We're packing up all of our things and moving out on July 26th. It's quite a scary thought. I also realized that my hospital orientation is the same day as Michael's Law school orientation and that I don't know anybody out there to watch my little guy. Anybody planning a trip to St. Louis? Just kidding. This should be good for us, right?!?!?
Our trip to San Diego is coming to an end. Our flight leaves in a couple of hours, and Thomas is taking a nap before heading home, so I have a few minutes to fill you in on the end of our trip.
On Thursday, I went to the US Open. Aubree stayed back with Thomas and about half the family. The US Open was really amazing. I enjoyed the seeing the greatest players and experiencing the whole atmosphere. Those who stayed back went to the beach that day. Unfortunately, all electronics were prohibited from the US Open. We couldn't even take our cell phones. We had to pass through metal detectors prior to getting on the buses at Qualcomm stadium that took us to the course. We do have a couple beach pictures, though.
On Friday, we went to the beach with my brother Cory and my cousin Ian. It was so much fun. Thomas had a really good time playing in the sand. I had a lot of fun playing in the surf. After a while, Ian and I decided to walk down the beach to find some boogie-boards to rent. Once we found them, we had lots of fun playing in the waves. Aubree thinks I'm a little boy when I play like that. I just like to have fun.
The other thing we found out this trip is that Thomas likes big people food. He at a whole egg roll the other night. He's had no problem eating pizza. He's enjoyed eating cocktail shrimp. To top it all off, we've discovered that Thomas really likes pickles. He had some at lunch on Wednesday, and he ate a whole pickle slice today at lunch. I personally think pickles are disgusting, so he definitely got this one from his mom.
We're in San Diego right now with my family. My whole family is here as well as my uncle James' family. My family drove down, but Aubree, Thomas, and I flew down on Sunday night because Thomas just can't really handle a 13 hour drive. While we were at the airport, Thomas wanted to show off his climbing skills. He started climbing up his stroller all the way to the top. His stroller was next to the ticketing counter, and he even tried to climb from his stroller to the counter. After we landed in San Diego, we were waiting on the plane for the people in front of us to get off. Thomas decided that he wanted to hang from the overhead compartment. He grabbed the bottom ledge, and wouldn't let go. I let go of him, and he hung there all by himself. He then wanted to do pullups. He was definitely the center of attention there at the back of the plane. I think he's a monkey. (So does he!)
On Monday, we went to Sea World. It was lots of fun.
(All the cousins on the Tiger, yes Thomas is the one without a shirt!)
Thomas liked watching the turkeys best, he cried when we moved on to the monkeys.
Thomas spilled water all over his shirt so we had to take it off and be nakey part of the day. He didn't care, he liked showing off his cute little belly and chest.
