Just for the Taste of it

Andrew was in a golf tournament for work in Lafayette this weekend so I went home and stayed with my parents for the weekend.

 Tommy got to catch up on the Today show. 

 After he got done golfing and after we checked out a rental, we went to the terrific Taste of Tippecanoe.  We were worried it might be sensory overload for Tommy.  It was but he did REALLY well.  I only had my phone so the picture quality isn't going to be very good because it was getting dark. (I only have the lowly iPhone 3GS without a flash.  *sniff, sniff* Life is so hard.)

 Grandpa picked up a Moe's frisbee for Tommy T.  He loved flinging that thing around.

He even got to play "The Claw" with it.

Tommy experienced his first fireworks.  Luckily we were about to give him a bottle at the same time or his reaction might have been a bit different.

Like this...

This is his WTF face after the first big boom.  But he recovered quickly.

 It was really cool to watch the fireworks from in between the buildings downtown.

 Tommy actually enjoyed them at times. (Check out my dad's great find: Chocolate Covered Twinkie! It was amazeballs! We all got one by the end of the night.)

 We were chanting "Chug! Chug! Chug!" to get him to finish off the last ounce.  The people around us probably wondered why we were trying to get a baby drunk.

 He was really amazed by the fountain.  He is a going to be a water-loving kid, I can already tell.

He was so funny in his stroller.  He would point his feet out and kick his legs as we were pushing him around. He loves to KICK, STRETCH AND KICK!  He's 6 months! :)

 I snapped this cute picture before we left on Sunday.

 I took this one on Sunday too.  His future's so bright, he's gotta wear shades.

Here's ol' Tommy boy happy to be back at home after an excruciating last 12 miles on the toll road where he screamed bloody murder because he had gotten his socks off and was scratching his face.  I was about in tears.  It was awful.  I really hope the dermatologist has an answer for us on Friday.  Cross your fingers!
