First Day of Summer!

Troy came with me to the office for a few minutes, and he thought that he was BIG stuff, sitting in an office chair and eating his snack.  It was hilarious!

Troy's First Birthday Party!

 Do you think that he likes the cake?  Maybe a little?  We had a great time at Troy's first birthday party.  The cake was hilarious!

Troy's personality continues to show itself, but his love of bath time has remained constant!

Can you tell that Troy is his daddy's boy?  Anything electronic appeals to him and he wants that object NOW!

Troy's First (real) Crawl!

Troy gave us a great Friday morning surprise.  We were beginning to resign ourselves to the idea that Troy may not be the crawling type.  He mastered rolling to places quickly, and that seemed to work well for him.  But at 6 am, I set him down and he crawled to a lego!  Tom and I looked at each other, verifying that we had indeed seen him crawl.  We were thrilled that we both saw his first crawl!  Yipee!

Grandpa Tom and Grandma Bev

Tom's dad and wife came down to visit Troy after Christmas, loaded with gifts for the little guy!  It sure is nice to be spoiled.  We had a delicious dinner at Ruby's and we all enjoyed the evening!

CHRISTMAS!

Ripping the paper...definitely one of his favorite activities!
Troy's new dump truck- he plays for hours on this toy!
