Cookout at the Stockton's

This weekend we went to a cookout at our friends Dana & Michael's house and introduced Tripp to some of our friends for the first time. Everyone passed him around and took their turn saying hello - he was quite the hit! He was very good the entire evening and slept pretty much the entire time dispite everyone loving on him. He did wake up to eat once and say hello so we were able to get a picture. This is Tripp and our good friend Emily who will be watching him when I'm back to work in a couple of weeks.

Weekend With Uncle Brett

Uncle Brett came to visit us from Texas this weekend and met little Tripp for the first time. We had a great weekend with him in town and we think he may have liked the little guy just a little :) Here are a couple of pics from the weekend.

Playtime with Dad

Time flies! It seems like we just brought Tripp home from the hospital and now he's already 4 weeks old. With every new day, he seems to be more alert and is staying awake more and more. We're also noticing him making faces and focusing on our faces when we talk to him. We're both so anxious to hear him coo for the first time... I guess any noise besides a cry or scream would be nice :) Tripp is starting to play with some of his toys too since some bright colors and moving objects seem to be holding his attention. Here are a few pics of his most recent playtime with dad.

And Baby Makes Three...

Welcome to the ever changing life of the Thomas family. Tripp Trevino Thomas joined us on July 22, 2009 at an astounding 9lbs 8oz and 21in long. He is 3 weeks old now and has been such a blessing in every way. We often find ourselves wondering what we did before he came along, he has made our family seem so complete.

In his first few weeks of life, we've already taken a few outings including a couple of nights out to dinner, a stroll around the block, and several trips to the grocery store. We've also been blessed to have had lots of company of the past few weeks including grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends that have all come to see the little guy. He seems to enjoy the attention we are so glad everyone has been able to visit.

We started this website to make it easy for all of our friends and family to watch Tripp grow when they aren't able to be around and for us to have somewhere to brag about our little bundle of joy. We'll be posting lots of pictures and stories weekly so please check back often. Here is a slideshow of his first few weeks to get us started. Enjoy!
