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.

A Buddy

Tobin has become quite the social, little guy(I'm not sure where he gets that from?). He is finding that the church nursery can be fun and has been making it through the entire church service. We also started MOPS yesterday and Tobin really enjoyed meeting new kids and playing while mommy got to be social for a little while. Tobin loves kids and dogs. Both of these things make the boy laugh and make this really weird excited noise-it sounds like he's gasping for air. Tobin's excited noise scares other people because they think he's having a hard time breathing.

The last two days were so much fun because our neighbor Thomas came over to play with Tobin. It was so cute to watch them. The boys are 3 months apart, Thomas being the oldest and the biggest(poor Tobin has some catching up to do). They would sit and make noises back and forth as if they were talking and understood each other. There were a couple times in their conversation in which is sounded like Tobin was preaching to poor Thomas. We love Thomas and hope he can come over more often.

Family Reunion

Tobin and I just got back from a family reunion. We traveled with Grandma and Great Grandma. It was great to see family and introduce our newest family member. Rob wasn't able to go and Tobin really missed him. Tobin had a great time playing with my cousins little boy, Hunter. He also took quite a liken to my cousin Tony-which I guess reminded him of his daddy.

Loves and Hates

Tobin LOVES to eat!!!! We are trying so many new foods and most of them Tobin loves. The only thing that we've learned he hates is chunks of peaches. He likes blended peaches but not chunks. Daddy says that's ok because peaches are nasty. How dare he say that being the Atlanta boy that he is. One thing that Tobin can't get enough of is yogurt. The problem with yogurt is that it's sooo messy. When daddy feeds Tobin he usually ends up with a yogurt beard.


Tobin LOVES tv. He especially enjoys commercials and tv programs that include animals. He really likes "Wallace and Gromit" and "Shawn the Sheep"-thanks to Gram and Poppy. Tobin hates it when we pull him away from the tv because he's banging on the screen with excitement.

New and Exciting Toys

The other day we got a special package in the mail from Gram and Poppy. You know since they live across the pond they sometimes like to share some of their culture with Tobin. Usually they bring us yummy digestives or to die for chocolates but this time we received not just one but two Wallace and Grommit DVDs. They are supposed to be for Tobin but I think mommy and daddy will enjoy them just the same.

Well, Tobin was excited to receive the package in the mail but of course what he was really excited about was the bubble wrap that it was wrapped in. Thanks Gram and Poppy.


Yesterday I had about 5 loads of laundry to fold. Folding 5 loads of laundry is a lot of work but not as much work as it was to occupy Tobin while I was folding. He went from playing with my flip flops, chewing on dryer sheets, making music with drawer handles and then it all came to a halt when he saw his reflection in the mirror. Oh, how pleased I was to find a babysitter for the next 20 minutes. Tobin loved the mirror. He's seen lots of mirrors before but I guess he had never seen one on his level before. I placed the mirror on it's side and that boy kissed the mirror, laughed at the mirror and just had a blast. Yeah for new found obects in the house. :)

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa's

Tobin loves going to Grandma and Grandpa's. Rob and I love going to grandma and grandpa's as well.:) Rob and I get a date nite, Tobin loves being with his grandparents and they LOVE being with him. It's really to everyone's advantage.

During this last visit grandma took Tobin outside and strolled him around. He enjoys being outside but at grandma and grandpa's there's so much more to see. They have kittens which make Tobin giggle and then there's grandpa and his tractors. Tobin LOVES grandpa's tractor. This trip, he got to ride on the tractor and have the pleasure or watching grandpa fix the tractor. It was a great time had by all 3 of us city folk. We look forward to every trip.
