About Me

I'm a lover of life. I was once blind and now I see. My dreams are in full color now.

And Another One is coming?????

Wow, in this last week I have wondered to myself how I am going to be able to handle another little one around here. Tobin is in to EVERYTHING!!!!! I always said I wanted children with lots and lots of character, and I got it. Tobin isn't even walking yet and I'm a little nervous to think about that stage coming in the near future.

Let's see this last week Tobin took some of his stuffed animals for swim in the toilet(a toilet that hadn't been flushed). He found out how much fun the toilet paper roll could be. Tobin has discovered that hardwood floors can make a great canvas for finger painting with spit up. He has discovered what drawers have clothes in them and likes to empty the drawers. Trash cans are his favorite. Daddy's guitar always needs to be banged on. Any time the dishwasher is opened Tobin feels the need to crawl up in the dishwasher. Tobin eats almost everything with his hands now and has discovered that it's great fun throwing pieces of food over the side of his tray(thank goodness for hardwood floors). And we're going to have another one?????? Yes, and what a blessing it will be.



*No, of course I don't let Tobin do this but it was worthy of a picture to capture the moment.

He loves entertainment


Tobin has a few favorite things that he likes to do around the house. About 3 or 4 times a day Tobin races to the DVD and CD shelf. For some reason he usually heads right to the Radioheads CD. He loves pulling the DVDs off the shelf, especially the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I just wish he could learn to put the DVDs back on the shelf.

Tobin loves helping daddy play the guitar. Tobin has always loved music and anytime he has the opportunity to make music is even better.

Tobin also loves pulling all of daddy's blank, CD jackets out of it's storage container. He pulls them out and puts them back in. He enjoys hiding these under rugs and going to find them later. He's like a dog hiding his bone.

What a cute bed head



Tobin was born with a pig tail swirl on the top of his head. It's the cutest thing ever and often is called the "Gerber Baby" when we're out. However, this cute little swirl can cause for some problems when trying to tame the hair.

Tobin's Big Boy Seat


Tobin is not doing a whole lot of growing but he has grown out of his car seat. This is Tobin in his new car seat. He likes sitting up so tall even though he still has to face the back of the car. We decided to leave the other car seat in the car since we'll need it come May. Yep, that's right, another bambino is on it's way. We have already had an ultrasound. The baby still looked like a sea horse but that heart was just beat, beatin away. The sea horse is guessed to arrive May 12th.

City Gardens






Tobin loves going to the City Gardens. It's a few city blocks made up of flowers, sculptures and fountains. We set Tobin down in the fountains and he takes off. This particular day he had everyone's attention. He was squealing and crawling as fast as he could from one spray of water to the next. He had quite an audience.
