Some summer photos of Tom

An IT nerd on our hands?

Thomas has developed an aptitude for anything electrical. He manages to bang the laptop until he (we presume) inadvertently turns it on, and makes a beeline for the DVD player as soon as he is set down on the floor. He also likes mobiles, remotes, cameras and calculators???

The secret Ireland player

One hangover from the Ireland trip was Auntie's desire to see him in an Ireland shirt....needless to say, Daddy promptly dispatched Mummy off to the Twickenham shop so he also has a England one...

Tom's first trip abroad

Baby Tom went on his first trip abroad at the end of July, to visit "Auntie" in Wicklow, Ireland.

Here he is at the airport (cleaning the floors) and trying to persuade Mummy to buy him one of those £20 raffle tickets to win a super car. Not sure what it was....but it was red.

"Auntie" is Tom's Great-Grandma's sole surviving sibling. She is Tom's Great-Great Auntie, Mummy's Great Auntie and Granddad's Auntie. Here are the 4 generations together.

The weather was lovely whilst we there and so Tom even got his first paddle in the sea. It was still a bit cold though and he did let out a girly scream...

Every days' a school day.....

At 7 months Baby Tom is learning fast! Firstly, here he is demonstrating the stages of crawling:

1. Do a baby version of the 'caterpillar'

2. Get up on all fours and make a (preferably) forward motion

3. Decide it is all too much and take a well earned rest

And secondly here is learning the alphabet with Nanna Rose. He's very advanced don't you know.
