Trick or Treat

Our first year of trick or treating...J.R. can't wait for next year when Tom actually gets candy! Tom was the most adorable dragon/dinosaur you have ever seen!  We started our day out visiting the Langs and the Leiberhers around lunch time.  Tom did NOT like the hood of his costume, but what kid likes hats?!  After Tom ate dinner (Tom doesn't do ANYTHING without eating first!) we headed to the Snyder household.

  Luckily, Aunt Tina was visiting for the night, so he got to see her too.  He got his first Reese's PB Cup.  I know, I am a cool mom...candy at 10 months old.  He loved it! Unfortunately for him, I only let him have about 1/4 of it.  After that we headed to Aunt Shelly's house.  She got him all kinds of fun stuff...Maple teething biscuits, new kicks, a hat and an animal puzzle that makes animal noises. 

Our last stop was at Matt and Elizabeth's house where Tommy played with an extra cell phone.  He LOVED it.  I don't know what it is, but kids love electronics and things they are not supposed to have! We were all tired by the time we got home.  Can't wait for next year!

Ten months...already!

Our weekend started out with a trip to Grammy and Poppi's house for Olivia's 1st birthday.  Liv looked adorable and Tommy had a great time taking in all the sights and eating (of course).  I think Tom and Olivia were so overwhelmed that by the end of the night they ended up playing with each other's socks instead of all the cool new toys...Oh well, whatever makes them happy!

Liv took the laid back approach...hands behind the head, just taking it all in.  Tom had a great time with Poppi getting bounced all around and just doing what Tommys do with Poppis.

Grammy gave Tom some cake...he LOVED it.

 After much convincing (a little sugar high) Olivia got into eating her cake.  It was a long day for these little guys!

On Sunday, Tommy and I headed home to see J.R..  He, of course, was out with the guys from work watching the Steelers game.  Don't worry, they won!  For those of you who don't know Tommy that well, he is famous for his love of paper.  He loves to crumble it up and eat it.  This makes my monthly picture taking quite a task.  As you will notice, the sign is awfully wrinkled and even chewed on.  Good thing he is so cute.  So here he is...10 months old.  October 24, 2010

This was also the day Tommy learned to use a straw.  I have been trying (as all SLPs do) to get Tommy to use a straw for months.  Well today he had the motivation he needed.  Aunt Shelly brought Smoothies from the Smoothie Cafe and Tommy was determined to have some.  Wouldn't you know, he learned to use the straw!

 

Weekend away

J.R. and I went away for the weekend (2 weekends ago) to the Poconos to celebrate my 30th birthday.  We first went to Bushkill Falls and had a nice hike (J.R. was so excited that we did a jog/hike through the woods) The views were amazing!

We stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast called The French Manor.  Gorgeous views and great food! Of course, like any new parents, we were saying "I wonder how Tom is doing, I miss him, etc. etc."  He survived, just as we expected!

New Blogger!

Well...I am going to jump on the bandwagon.  Selena and Tina, you are my inspiration for this blog.  I've realized how much I enjoy reading other people's blogs, so I figured other people might enjoy hearing about "Fisher Family Fun" (mostly Tommy, but I can pretend people still care what J.R. and I do!).  Hopefully, I will update this at least once a week with a few Tommy stories and pictures, but we shall see.  Hope everyone enjoys it!
