Happy Early Easter!

Hanging with Dad at the Easter party.

More snacks, please!

The Easter Bunny made an early visit to our neigborhood yesterday. Tad wasn't too sure of the big bunny but then discovered his furry paws, which he especially liked touching. The bouncey house was a big hit - Tad's now of the opinion that these are a staple of any good party. Tad's looking forward to next year when he can participate in the egg hunt.

Tad's Perch

Morning, noon and night, Tad's favorite spot these days is at the window: looking outside, licking the glass or banging his head and hand.

Yeehaw!

After two months of chasing Tuggie to no avail, Tad finally caught him and Robyn captured this great photo. Poor Tug! Tad is dreaming of a frenchie rodeo while Tug is remembering the good old days when he was the baby. The trials of being the middle child...

Months 9 & 10: Exploration

Caught in the act. Tad needs to work on his poker face.

Heading to the tubby after a serious dinner.

Happy 10th Month Birthday, Tad! Johnny seared some tasty tuna.

Sliding at the park with Claire.

Wait for me, Brooke!

Hello there! Tad is learning to wave.

The grimace.

Caught in the act. Again.

Mohawk!

We fondly call Tad the little maniac or monkey man these days. His smile is infectious and Tad is still very silly. He was 10 months old on March 20th. Tad is crawling all over the house and loves to push his ride-ons and pull up on whatever he can find. Tad's favorite means of mischief include chasing the pups, eating his books, sticking his hands in the dogs' water bowl, licking the window and sliding glass door, taking the grate off the air vent and attempting to launch himself off the changing table (we're shocked it actually hasn't happened yet). Tad has mastered clapping and is quick to give himself a round of applause, followed by screams of excitement. We see some babies cuddling with their parents, sitting and playing with their toys or reading books.... this is not Tad. Wahoo!

Months 9 & 10: Adventures in Eating

Yum. What should I whip up tonight? Tad loves playing in the fridge and especially enjoys taking the BBQ sauce off the shelf. Perhaps he inherited Johnny's gourmet talents.

The serious foodie.

Happy 9 Month Birthday, Tad! In Tad's honor, we indulged in surf & turf.

Tad's latest favorite face is squishing up his nose. We're not sure if he just discovered his nose or if he's trying to be a frenchie.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Tad enjoyed his first St. Patrick's Day complete with corned beef and cabbage. The festive outfit didn't make it past breakfast.

All Grown Up

Tad now has a (somewhat) full head of hair and recently sported a big boy hairstyle. We cannot imagine the blonde hair will last long.
