TOMMY: got croup during spring break; will not be sleep-trained or scheduled, thank you very much; army crawls very much like a lizard, and at lightning speed; is a wee small fellow, but loves to eat; likes to feed himself, except when it comes to bottles, sippy cups, and otter pops; hates teething, which makes Mom + Dad hate teething, too; loves Cheerios and will shovel them in his mouth by the fistful; teased his Momma by sleeping through the night for an entire month starting in May + has only given her a full night's rest a handful of times since; loves tub time + hates being diapered/dressed in equal measure; mimics sounds and gestures quite well; loves big kids and attention; is a sucker for flattery, especially when doled out by a female; loves swimming, and doesn't even mind cold-ish water; Grandpa O. just might be his favorite human; makes us tireder + happier than we've ever been.
ANDY: has been working on his
photography in earnest; took us camping a few times + did most of the work of setting up and taking down by himself while Mom took care of Tom.
GINA: loved having the summer off to hang out with Tommy full-time; going back to work a few weeks ago may have been harder than going back after maternity leave; is equal parts exhausted from and delighted with motherhood.
And now, a million photos from the past several months...

I hope to be lots better at posting more often; this little squirt requires time and attention, but I want to document his life on here better than I've been doing.
