Thomas: Milestones

Here are a few of Thomas' latest feats (in no particular order):

• Crawling.  Everywhere.
• Pulling up to his feet when given the opportunity (aka whenever he happens upon a somewhat sturdy place to grab above his head).
• Drinking water from a sippy cup.  Heck, it's even a pretty coordinated effort!
• Still eating fruits and vegetables like a champ.  His love for cantaloupe and broccoli is second to none.
• Sleeping through the night...this has been an on-going struggle since day one, but lately it's pretty consistent...Drake and I are quite pleased.
• Loves being read to - sometimes reading time can last for almost 20 minutes!  
• Reaches for crucifixes/Mary statues constantly - I guess you wouldn't find this in What to Expect the First Year, but it sure is sweet.  Sometimes hanging out near our Holy Family water font is a favorite activity.  And we swear he's trying to say "Jesus."  
• Manipulates toys/games.
• Knows his name, mommy, daddy, several different animals, animal sounds.

Seems that there's something new everyday at this age - amazing!
