A week at Gram and Grandpa's house

Last week we had Tommy's 18 month appointment. He is in wonderful health and is still growing like a champ. He is weighing in at 29 pounds, 4 ounces which is the 87th percentile. He had a growth spurt and is now 33.5 inches which puts him in the 82nd percentile. All in all, he is a BIG BOY! At least now he is tall and chubby instead of short and chubby. He is totally turbo all day long which has been an adjustment for me with being home with him every day. He is so much fun and is truly a little monkey....he loves to imitate us in speech and in action, he loves to get dirty and run around (usually chasing after his cousins) and has no fear. He is 100% rough and tumble boy, but has a very sweet side, too. His vocabulary amazes me....he has about 6 words in Spanish which I of course am very proud of, and at least 25 in English. His little personality keeps us laughing and smiling all day long (although maybe not really smiling so much at 5:45 when he normally wakes up!)

The first week of June, Ryan and I scooted of to Paris for a week to visit some of our best friends who are living there for a year (free place to stay...woo hoo!). We flew out of Atlanta, so it was perfect to drop Tommy off at my parents' house for the week. Gram was well prepared with tons of toys, activities and even a play date planned! Tommy had a blast, well I don't really know who had more fun, my parents or him! But it was a great chance for them to get lots of time together. They spent lots of time playing the park, and you can see by the high chair picture that they wore him out (which is usually the objective). Enjoy the pics and then read on under them for an update on our Tommy boy!
