the little life of thatch

update...where does the time go?

2009-06-28T09:03:00.000-07:00

this month has been full of new experiences...drinking from a cup, eating with a fork, sitting at his own little table. he's loving all these new things and i'm pretty impressed with how well he's doing with them. he "signs" for drink, eat/more, all done, up (for us to pick him up, nana taught him that one). he's been saying lots of words...repeats just about anything we say. he loves to tell us what a monkey says.

he's very in to trucks, dogs, and bikes. and deathly afraid of the trash truck.

and he loves to type on my old keyboard...i wonder where he learned that?

not feelin' it?

2009-05-22T06:24:00.000-07:00

thatch is a huge fan of music and i was scrolling through my ipod trying to find something new for him to listen to. i found run dmc, yes that's right, thanks to mark roberts for putting it on my ipod... i decided to play it and see what thatch's reaction was. he looked confused, not knowing how to bob to this sort of music. travis said "you aren't feelin' it, are you?" and HE SHOOK HIS HEAD NO! we laughed so hard! we went back to listening to ray lamontagne.

where's your head?

From rainy day by the window

wow, okay, it's been a while!

the last 2 months we have made HUGE changes...we are definitely a toddler now and i feel like he understands everything we say. it is so much fun!

his words:
dad = nad (as a whisper)
mom = mmm mom mom (yelling)
banana = nana
light = li
fan = nan (with a big smile)
car = ca
dog = haaa (???)
signs "all done"
he signed "more" for the first time today...finally after months and months. maybe he will learn drink, i still have hope!

he LOVES music (he points to the ipod dock for us to play music all the time...and he likes anything with a beat! there's a lot of dancing going on in the moore household!

loves playing with his blocks.
loves any container or cabinet.
still loves mom's office. (yes!)
loves to wave to everyone.
and he has quite the little personality.
he went down the toddler slide at church sunday for the first time (and climbed the little stairs by himself too)

i couldn't be more proud!

From one!

thatch is one!

2009-04-10T22:01:00.000-07:00

i can't believe it. and with his birthday came a toddler! i feel like he is a new man...busy doesn't even describe him. i love it. he is curious, happy, full of energy and my little snuggle bug. i'm loving "one" already.

In honor of his birth...here's the birth announcement i never sent out! : )

2009-03-03T19:20:00.001-08:00

thatch is feeling a little left out from the facebook status and twitter world. (or maybe it's just that my thoughts come in "update" form now.)

whatever the case...thatch now has a "status" on his blog to capture those little things that probably only family care about.

well, nana and gramma...these are for you!

walking

2009-02-22T19:02:00.000-08:00

From first park experience

well, as of last monday, thatch is officially walking. and he is getting more stable each day. he is just so cute when he walks...i love it. today at church he was walking all over the place. he must have worn himself out because he fell asleep on the way home. (and he NEVER falls asleep in the car.)

it was a beautiful day yesterday, so we took thatch to the park for the first time to play. he loved the slide (with some help of course) and loved watching the other kids. i can't wait for this summer, we are going to have so much fun!

2009-02-19T18:29:00.001-08:00

From 10 1/2 months

2009-02-15T09:14:00.001-08:00

he just took 6 steps across the room!

update on the thatch front

2009-02-02T21:51:00.000-08:00

thatch is so much fun. and he is into EVERYTHING! he loves to pull things out of drawers and baskets...and spread them around the room. we've put locks on all the drawers we can...and the other ones, we've dedicated as his toy chests. he takes each item out one by one and examines them. i love watching him explore everything!

in the last few weeks he has taken his first steps! and he can stand by himself for a little bit...he's stronger and stronger everyday. crazy!

and he is a good eater. (and by that i mean he eats anything we put in front of him and he's a bottomless pit!) he loves meat of all kinds, loves his greens and i think he could eat a whole jar of applesauce if we let him.

this last week he decided he was finished with his morning nap. i was a little surprised it was so abrupt, but he has been so happy all morning long and is ready for his nap in the afternoon. it is so nice to have him up for more of the day.

we're having fun and i feel like he is changing every day! he's growing up on me.

10 months

2009-01-16T17:32:00.000-08:00

well, we've finally moved thatch to his big boy stroller...it was a beautiful day today so we tried it out and went for a walk. he seemed to like looking forward, although i miss looking at him!

From christmas 08

thatch finally has his first tooth! it is just barely in...but it is there! yea! he's almost 9 months, army crawling everywhere (and almost crawling), pulling up, eating like a chunk, finally sleeping good...happy, laughing, and "talking" a lot. we are having so much fun!

it was a beautiful fall day and we enjoyed the weather downtown.

thatch is dedicated...so dedicated.

2008-10-12T13:36:00.000-07:00

we had thatch's baby dedication this morning. our prayer and hopes for thatch is that he will know and experience God's love...and as he is so "alert" even from the moment of birth... that his heart will be awake to the presence of God in his life and in the world around him.

sitting

2008-09-25T16:05:00.001-07:00

the last couple of weeks thatch has been sitting...not for long...but still sitting!

another laugh

2008-09-18T17:31:00.000-07:00

we don't ever get tired of making thatch laugh...and about anything will make him laugh, a fake sneeze or travis dancing (that makes me laugh too).

2008-09-16T12:34:00.000-07:00

jumperoo

2008-09-14T09:04:00.001-07:00

well, we bought one...a huge thing in the middle of the living room...never say never...but it's all about thatch, right? he loves it.

our walks

2008-09-02T14:31:00.000-07:00

the weather has been beautiful and thatch & i have been enjoying our daily walks...and this is the cute face staring back at me!!...he starts the walk as a baby, and by the end of the walk he turns into a rapper with his hat crooked.

our little boy

2008-08-11T16:19:00.000-07:00

he's growing and changing! yea! he's rolling across the room...staring at his fingers, reaching out and grabbing everything in sight! and now he has gone from putting his whole fist in his mouth, to putting individual fingers in there!...and oh so much drool!

thatch's laugh

2008-07-26T20:19:00.000-07:00

here's another one of thatch's laugh...i just love it! sorry for the camera shake...i'm trying to hold it down so he doesn't get distracted by it!

2008-07-08T14:00:00.000-07:00

thatch is taking everything in...and he does it with this little furrowed eyebrow...i think it is his neutral facial expression between smiles. he is really enjoying "reading books" and looking at all the colorful pictures!

this sling is saving us. thatch has trouble falling asleep, but you put him in this and he goes right to sleep. and thatch loves the painting in this pic. he stares at it all the time and now he has started smiling at it!
